Galyna Shmidt, co-author of the book “Sekrety vitru”, revealed the role of renewable energy sources in everyday life, their varieties and the history of the wind energy use by mankind.
“So, what is the secret of the wind? The big secret is… that there’s no secret. You just need to use this wonderful, inexhaustible source of energy, which nature gives us. We are responsible for the future of our planet. We must preserve it. And wind is our First and the best Friend for this task. That is the whole secret...” Mrs. Galyna quoted part of the story.
