Forecasting Change: Wind energy will play big role in the solution
Read full article: Forecasting Change: Wind energy will play big role in the solutionIn the last 30 years, wind power has grown dramatically in the U.S. In 2020 wind turbines created nearly 8 and a half percent of our utility-scale electricity. That percentage has skyrocketed from almost zero in 1990.
Forecasting Change: Using wind and solar energy to reach net zero
Read full article: Forecasting Change: Using wind and solar energy to reach net zeroOne of these is wind energy. In the last few years, wind power has exploded in the U.S. We now have enough wind power turbines producing enough energy to power more than 24 million homes. Check out this graphic that shows “Where The Wind Blows.”Wind energy potentialKeep in mind: Wind power produces more than just electricity. Where solar energy shinesSolar energy produced in OrlandoIn the last 15 years, the cost of solar panels has dropped by 50% and the and the installation of solar panels has increased by almost 20%. But look at the “Where Solar Energy Shines” graphic above and see how great it can work for us all in Central Florida.
