In 2006, a collaborative panel -- including members of the U.S. Department of Energy -- explored a modeled energy scenario in which wind would provide 20 percent of our nation's electricity by 2030. Their official 2008 report estimates impacts and discusses specific needs and outcomes in the areas of technology, manufacturing, transmission and grid integration, markets, siting strategies, and potential environmental effects.
Executive summary and overview -- Wind turbine technology -- Manufacturing, materials, and resources -- Transmission and integration into the U.S. electric system -- Wind power siting and environmental effects -- Wind power markets.
Appendixes: 20% wind scenario impacts -- Assumptions used for wind deployment system model -- Wind-related jobs and economic development -- Lead authors, reviewers and other contributors.
