Wind energy resources have been in sharp decline in regions all across the world, according to a study by Chinese researchers.
After analyzing data from more than 1,000 weather stations around the world, the researchers found that 67 percent had witnessed an extensive decrease in wind power potential over the course of nearly 40 years. The team, which also included a researcher from Purdue University, reached their findings after examining the changes of wind surface speeds from 1979 to 2016. 1
