Wind Can Play Major Role In Electrical Power
Published Wednesday, May 14, 2008 at 04:51 AM
The report finds that achieving a 20 percent wind contribution to the U.S. electricity supply would: Reduce carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation by 25 percent in 2030. Reduce natural gas use by 11%; Reduce water consumption associated with electricity generation by 4 trillion gallons by 2030; and increase annual revenues to local communities to more than $1.5 billion.
To accomplish this, Karsner says it will require us to - take a comprehensive approach to scaling renewable wind power, streamlining siting and permitting processes, and expanding the domestic wind manufacturing base. The report shows that installations of new wind power capacity would increase to more than 16-thousand megawatts per year by 2018, and continue at that rate through 2030.
