This article looks at one way of harnessing inexhaustible energy - wind power. The relevance of the use of wind farms has been considered, which is due to many factors. The most important advantage of wind farms is the use of an inexhaustible source of energy, namely air currents, which are the result of pressure differences in the atmosphere. Although the modern energy industry is mainly based on non-renewable energy sources (oil, gas and hard coal account for about 80% of the global energy balance), interest in renewable energy sources (RES) is growing steadily. The main arguments for using RES are the high price of conventional fuels, energy security for the countries.

The problems of Russian single-industry towns are the main threats to the national social and political instability. Currently, the problems of development of single-industry towns remain one of the most discussed issues. Due to their location and specialization, single-industry towns re an integral part of the national and regional economies. In many single-industry towns, the situation is tense due to high unemployment rates, bankruptcy of many town-forming enterprises, and poor economic diversification. Currently, in Russia there are 320 monotowns, where 10% of the country’s population live. These are large industrial centers and small settlements. Most of them are located in industrial regions. All-round support for single-industry towns is provided by a special fund, which is part of the VEB Group. For example, for investment projects, loans are provided at 0 % interest rate. The cost of projects was reduced 20 times. Therefore, small and medium-sized enterprises can become main recipients of funds. Under the new program, investors will be able to return tax payments from new enterprises.
An excursion into the history allows us to analyze changes in management of the housing and communal sector from the beginning of the 20th century to the present and to draw attention to modern management that requires immediate changes in approaches. Speaking at the Government meeting, President Vladimir Putin said that The Housing and Communal Sector Reform Fund should improve living standards rather than be an original tool of sterilizing the money supply. The Housing and Communal Sector Reform Fund was established in 2007. Russian regions also finance capital repairs of apartment buildings and relocation of citizens from old houses that are subject to demolition or unfit for habitation. The mission of the government is to implement measures aimed at developing and reforming the construction industry and the housing and communal sector.
