Question: Does wind energy create jobs?

...Wind Energy provides jobs...

The wind industry today (2001) provides more than 50,000 jobs worldwide. The wind industry is becoming more multinational, as the industry matures and more manufacturing is established in new markets.

In Denmark alone, more than 20,000 people make a living from wind energy, designing and manufacturing wind turbines, components, or rendering consultancy and engineering services.

Today employment in the Danish wind industry is larger than e.g. the fishing industry.

The Danish production of wind turbines demands another 20,000 jobs in other countries which erect wind turbines or manufacture turbine components such as generators and gearboxes.
