Wind Turbine

Wind energy is actually a derivative of solar energy. As the sun heats the earth the warm air rises, cool air descends and the result is wind. The steel turbine captures the kinetic energy from the wind and is translated into power to supply the loads in any building. Of course, this is all without using any fossil fuels or releasing any pollutants. Depending on the size and location a wind turbine will greatly reduce the power purchased from the utility, operate for several years without any attention and provide a speedy payback for cost of installation.

Wind Growth During Crisis

In 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) published a report that examines the technical feasibility of using wind energy to generate 20% of the nation's electricity demand by 2030. The report, "20% Wind Energy by 2030: Increasing Wind Energy's Contribution to U.S. Electricity Supply," includes contributions from DOE and its national laboratories, the wind industry, electric utilities, and other groups. The report examines the costs, major impacts, and challenges associated with producing 20% wind energy or 300 GW of wind generating capacity by 2030.
