Mars colonizers will be able to generate energy from the wind.

Properly installed on the surface of Mars, wind turbines will be able to fully provide energy to the base on which six people live. These conclusions were made by scientists from the NASA Ames Research Center after detailed modeling of wind patterns in different regions of the Red Planet. Prior to this, experts doubted the possibilities of wind generation on Mars - its atmosphere is too rarefied. Usually, they relied on compact nuclear reactors and solar energy.
