Wind Power for Less than $0.02 per Day

Salon.com tells us of a report showing how feasible and cheap wind power would be.

There's only one hold up -- President Bush.

A stunning new report just issued by the Bush administration finds that for under 2 cents a day per household, Americans could get 300 gigawatts of wind by 2030. That would:

  • Reduce carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation by 25 percent in 2030.
  • Reduce natural gas use by 11 percent.
  • Reduce cumulative water consumption associated with electricity generation by 4 trillion gallons by 2030.
  • Support roughly 500,000 jobs in the U.S.

  • The report doesn't mention that this would require adopting policies the Bush administration opposes. But that's what elections are for.
