I guarantee you didn't know these facts about the greatness of wind:
- Wind power is the fastest-growing energy source in the world. (Worldwatch Institute)
- The wind in North Dakota alone could produce a third of America's electricity. (The Official Earth Day Guide to Planet Repair)
- Wind power has the potential to supply a large fraction--probably at least 20%--of U.S. electricity demand at an economical price.
- In 1990, California's wind power plants offset the emission of more than 2.5 billion pounds of carbon dioxide, and 15 million pounds of other pollutants that would have otherwise been produced.
- Using 100 kWh of wind power each month is equivalent to planting ½ acre of trees and NOT driving 2,400 miles
The bottom line is...
We're all about solar, but wind is good too.
