Generally good news that the generation of wind power is up by around 20% across the world this year (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/mar/25/worlds-wind-power-capacity-up-by-fifth-after-record-year). This is reportedly mainly down to major expansions of off shore and land-based turbines in China and the USA (so, there is still plenty of scope). One has to remember, however, that the construction of the turbines generates 'greenhouse gases' and this has to be deducted from the account before they actually become 'green'.
