The whole of the Dutch tram runs on wind power

The Dutch National Railways (NS) has officially announced that all of the country's current trains will start running at 100% wind power.

NS said it had completed its 2015 goal, that since 2018, all of its passenger trains will run on wind power.

NS has partnered with the Dutch utility Eneco to achieve this goal. Running all of the wind power trains makes it necessary to build more wind farms in the country.

Since the launch of the project, many wind farm farms have sprung up across the country and in Dutch beaches, making the project energy-efficient and quickly becoming a reality.

A windmill that runs continuously for an hour can provide energy for a train traveling 200km.

NS has said that about 600,000 passengers are transported each day by wind power . This program greatly contributes to minimizing the use of non-recyclable fossil fuels.

The Dutch have a long history of sticking with wind energy. The country has started using windmills from the 17th century to regulate water and grain. Now they use more subtle winds to generate electricity.

According to NS and Eneco, a windmill that runs continuously for one hour can provide power to a train traveling 200km. However, the entire tram system consumes 1.2 billion kWh of electricity a year - equivalent to the electricity consumed by all Amsterdam households in a year.

The trend of using clean energy from nature is growing fast. Last year, Costa Rican people spent 250 days without using any fossil fuels; they used only geothermal, wind, solar and hydropower.

Scotland also generates more wind power than the country needs in a windy day in 2016. Denmark also uses 42 percent of its electricity from the wind in 2015, although now two The country's wind farms have been shut down.
