FORBES: More False Hope About Renewable Energies That Consumers Reject
According to a 2009 Energy Information Agency Report on Electricity Generation, wind power provided only 70 billion kWh of the total U.S. 3, 953 kWh supply (1.79% of generated power).
Wind tends to blow more forcefully and uniformly over the ocean than on land, providing the potential for increased electricity generation and smoother, steadier operation than land-based wind power systems.
