“Wind power could generate up to 20 percent of the nation’s total electricity needs by 2030, a report released Monday by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) suggests. However, this scenario would not only require $197 billion in investments, especially in interstate transmission build-out, but also a tremendous jump in the wind industry, from the current production of 16.8 gigawatts (GW) to 304 GW by 2030.” (05/13/08)
