6. Grand Challenge Question For Energy:
What investments should be made, how much, when, and where, at the national level, over the next 40 years, to achieve a sustainable, low cost, and resilient energy & transportation system? 6

8. Grand Challenges For Wind:
Move wind energy from where it is harvested to where it can be used
Develop economically-attractive methods to accommodate increased variability and uncertainty introduced by large wind penetrations in operating the grid.
Improve wind turbine/farm economics (decrease investment and maintenance costs, increase operating revenues).
Address potential concerns about local siting, including wildlife, aesthetics, and impact on agriculture. 8
