The renewable energy beneath our wings Bush DOE says wind can be 20 percent of U.S. power by 2030 -- with no breakthroughs	Joseph Romm	13 May 2008	Gristmill
The Bush administration has signed off on a stunning new report [PDF], '20 Percent Wind Energy by 2030: Increasing Wind Energy's Contribution to U.S. Electricity Supply.' I am working on a big wind article for midweek, but here are the key conclusions of what is easily the most comprehensive and credible report released on wind power in a decade: Annual installations need to increase by only a factor of three from current levels by 2018. Costs of integrating intermitt ...

Puff Piece U.S. could get 20 percent of energy from wind by 2030, says DOE		13 May 2008	News
Posted at 10:52 AM on 13 May 2008 Wind power could meet 20 percent of U.S. energy demand by 2030, according to Energy Department calculations, even though currents currently provide a mere 1 percent of U.S. electricity. Making the leap would be "ambitious" but "feasible," says the report: it wouldn't require technological breakthroughs, but would necessitate the construction of 75,000 new and improved ...

A Blow to the Solar Plexus		09 Dec 2002	Daily Grist
A Blow to the Solar Plexus Renewable energy use in the U.S. dropped sharply in 2001, according to a new report by the Department of Energy. Much of that decline stems from a drought that cut hydroelectric power generation by 23 percent, but the DOE's Energy Information Administration also found that in 2001, solar equipment was retired faster than it was replaced. The bulk of ...

A Real Windfall		28 Apr 2000	Daily Grist
A Real Windfall All federal agencies in the Denver area will be powered in part by wind under the U.S. government's largest contract to buy green energy, Energy Secretary Bill Richardson announced yesterday. The agencies will buy 10 megawatts of power annually from wind farms operated by Colorado utilities -- enough energy to run 3,500 households for a year. Public Se ...
