Wind power could supply the USA with 20 percent of its electricity by 2030

摘要

Wind power - one of the fastest growing markets for composites - is capable of becoming a major contributor to the USA's electricity supply over the next three decades, according to a new report released by AWEA of the country's Department of Energy (DOE). The report, 20 percent Wind Energy by 2030: Increasing Wind Energy's Contribution to US Electricity Supply, looks closely at one scenario for reaching 20 percent wind energy by 2030 and contrasts it to a scenario of no new US wind power capacity.
