Powering Half the World with Wind by 2030

Wind power is now the fastest-growing (and one of the cheapest) renewable energy sources — a status that had brought more rigorous investigation of its potential. The industry is growing so rapidly that 40.5 gigawatts (GW) of new wind power was brought on line in 2011, bringing the global total capacity up to 238 GW and helping to offset over 600 million tons of CO2 annually. Given this growth, the authors, who published their study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, were curious about how much energy can wind produce? A Wealth of Wind Energy “More than we’ll ever need,” said Cristina Archer , co-author of the study and professor of geography and physical ocean science and engineering at the University of Delaware. The study she worked on with Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University, calculated the sa...

Offshore wind correlates w/ demand. It peaks in the afternoon, which is also when electricity demand peaks: [link]
