The Department of Energy announces findings that wind energy potentially provide 20 percent of our nation's electricity needs by 2030 during a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington on Monday, May 12, 2008.
I'm Tom Gray with the American Wind Energy Assocation, and I'd have to disagree with charliep3 and his friend. As a resource, I'd suggest the 20% Wind by 2030 Report recently published by the U.S. Department of Energy and available at 20percentwind-dot-org .
charliep3, can you direct me to some of the arguments against industrial wind energy? I am not very familiar with the cost/benefit analysis, but I would agree that most proponents are seemingly unwilling to elaborate on any drawbacks (and I would assume some serious ones exist)
I've read the best arguments I can find for and against industrial wind and the people who say it's a waste of national treasure make a stronger case in my view. The proponants repeat their slogans and ignore or deny concerns and objections without elaborating. Industrial wind is hurting a lot of people in a big way and that is ignored im the most disengenuous way.
