Wind Power JoAnna Krueger Kelsey Burgess Maddie Dombi

Uses and Functions 15,000+ mega watts of electricity Fastest-growing Produce hydrogen gas and then stored Produces mechanical power Pumping water, grinding grain Propel sailing ships Fill gaps in off-seasons of other resources

How Wind Turbines Produce Energy

How Wind Is Produced

Advantages Moderate to high net energy High efficiency Low electricity cost (still falling) Low environmental impact No CO2 emissions Quick construction Easily expanded

Possible Replacements Solar panel energy Tide Energy Natural gas Heating oil Central heating

Current Projects Projects are located in: –Hawaii –California –Texas –North & South Dakota

Case Pro: Farmers boost incomes by leasing land Con: Environmentalists are concerned for predatory bird populations

Future Challenges High land usage Visual pollution Interference with bird’s migration flights Predatory bird deaths Possible increase in crop prices

Will It Become Mainstream? Likely: –Growing 22% yearly –High efficiency –Low environmental impact Unlikely: -High land usage -Environmentalist concerns

What Do We Need? Proper land space Strong remaining crop production Residential support Cash flow Environmental stability Wind

“The demand for wind and solar power in this country is about to explode.” -Governor Granholm
