How can we expand wind energy in Europe? | Climate Now debate highlights

The EU has put its oar behind the promise of wind power. With initiatives like REPowerEU increasing the target for wind-generated electricity, the next decade will hopefully see massive growth in the production of wind farms. Why is wind power such an important source of renewable energy, how and where will we install these new wind farms, and how can we counter any negative side effects the energy source brings? Our panelists discussed these questions and more during our Climate Now debate on boosting Europe's wind sector and meeting EU climate goals. Meet our panelists:
