    2. Solar Energy Engineering: Energy, Man, Earth

    3. 750 kW nameplate wind generators, by Enron Wind, in NW Iowa. Note the extant farm-to-market road system, which allowed delivery of components and materials for this windplant, and which farmers use to deliver their grain and livestock. We need a new farm-to-market road system to collect and deliver renewable-source energy. 750 kW nameplate wind generators, by Enron Wind, in NW Iowa.

    9. An analysis by the National Wind Technology Center indicates that conditions suitable for supplying wind energy exist over 6 percent of the contiguous United States. Wind, if fully exploited, could provide annually more than one and one half times the amount of electricity used in the United States today. At present, wind only provides a tiny fraction of apercent of US electrical energy In Denmark, where the government strongly supports such research, 5 percent of the country's electricity comes from wind power, with some areas generating as much as 25 percent of their electricity from wind. Uneven support for research is one reason the United States has been slow to increase the use of wind energy.

    10. To provide 20% of the nation's electricity, only about 0.6% of the land of the lower 48 states would have to be developed with wind turbines. Furthermore, less than 5% of this land would be occupied by wind turbines, electrical equipment, and access roads. Most existing land use, such as farming and ranching, could remain as it is now.

    11. Moreover, the estimates show that a group of 12 states in the midsection of the country have enough wind energy potential to produce nearly four times the amount of electricity consumed by the nation in 1990.

    12. . In our state of South Dakota, the AWEA estimates that 117 GW (yes, gigawatts) of windpower potential exists, and yet we currently have an installed wind generation capacity of zero. North Dakota alone has enough potential energy from windy areas of class 4 and higher to supply 36% of the total 1990 electricity consumption of the 48 contiguous states.
