There is enough power in Earth’s winds to be a primary source of near-zero-emission electric power. In fact, there is no fundamental barrier to obtaining several times the world’s all-purpose power from wind. In addition, clean energy is powerful tool to create jobs. According to Pollin et al. (2008) jobs per 1 million dollar of federal spending in the USA were as follows:

·  natural gas 5
·  coal 7
·  wind 13
·  solar 14
·  biomass 16

We have options of clean energy which take care of the future generations.
