Wind Energy Could Meet Global Power Demand 100 Times Over

Wind Energy Could Meet Global Power Demand 100 Times Over

A new study by the Carnegie Institute and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has discovered that wind power could easily meet the entire planets energy needs.They study determined to find the geophysical limits of wind power, how much is physically possible before the turbines use up all wind energy in the world. They used computer models to calculate the amount of power that could be generated by wind energy at low altitude (land-based, and offshore turbines) and high altitude (upper atmosphere turbines using kite technology), and also…Read more...http://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Wind-Energy-Could-Meet-Global-Power-Demand-100-Times-Over.html
