US-China Researchers Claim Wind Speeds, And Wind Power-Generation Potential, Have Declined

Researchers in China and the United States have found evidence that wind speeds, and the potential power generation such speeds allow, have been decreasing in the Northern Hemisphere since 1979. The findings are published in the January 2019 edition of Energy. Using data collected from 1979 to 2016 and gathered from "over 1000 weather stations worldwide," the study claims that "surface wind speeds were decreasing in the past four decades over most regions in the Northern Hemisphere, including N
