Re: Can it be? A wind farm near Taos starts to take shape — maybe.

Good article. Economical wind power does, indeed, depend on sufficient wind at the wind farm site. However, it's interesting to note that wind power is produced in more states than any fuel source. Twenty-five states produce coal, 39 import it. Thirty-two produce natural gas, 38 import it. Meanwhile, 35 produce wind-generated electricity. It would be a relatively simple matter to strengthen the transmission system to make more imported wind available to Florida and other states.

For an authoritative look at what wind power can do, see the 20% by 2030 Technical Report from the U.S. Department of Energy at www.20percentwind.org.
