future of wind energy
1 A right attitude
• Small harms are reasonable demands
• Strengthen the development of new energy

2 Conversion and transportation

• Wind resources: Annual average wind speed
• Conversion from wind energy to electricity
• Transportation over long distances

3 Offshore wind power

• Less land resources occupied
• Build wind turbines on the sea

As an English or Translation major student

What can we do?

• Help translate foreign advanced energy technology

materials
• Act as a cross-cultural communicator in the exchange of
energy issues
