Wind Power and Related Reports

• Annual Report on U.S. Wind Power Installation, Cost and Performance Trends 2007 (U.S. Department of Energy, 2008)
• Electricity From Renewables: Status, Prospects, and Impediments (National Academies Press, June 2009) “Renewable energy resources in the U.S. are sufficient to meet a significant portion of the nation’s electricity needs, says a new report from the National Research Council. Fully taking advantage of these potential low CO2-emitting sources for generating electricity will call for enhanced technologies, increased deployment, financial investments, and implementation of policies to drive increased adoption of renewable electricity. If the use of renewable electricity is to grow significantly, large increases will be required in the manufacture and installation of these technologies, offering significant employment and economic opportunities.”
