DOE Report: Wind Could Power 20 Percent of US Grid by 2030

"A new report from the Department of Energy claims that wind turbines could generate 300 gigawatts by 2030, which would power about 20 percent of the US electrical grid."

20% is huge. It'll take a lot of work and investment. However, from the same article this little tidbit...

"Yet among the current renewable options, wind and solar thermal appear to be the only technologies that could produce power at the utility-scale."

Solar thermal is it. The quiet magic bullet. Remember this post?
