WIND POWER GETS EUROPE'S VOTE

EWEA had invited Europeans as part of its 'Breath of Fresh Air' campaign to symbolically adopt a wind turbine by going online and registering to adopt one of 50,000 turbines in Europe on the campaign website .

The winners of the contest were those who managed to get the most friends to vote for their turbine, also via the website.

EWEA has published today the results of the competition ending in December 2010 with more than 45,000 people following the contest online, 3,727 wind turbines adopted and 8,604 votes cast- sending a clear message that wind power is very popular among Europeans.
