Wind Power in 2030 and beyond

Wind power could realistically handle 20% of electrical needs in the U.S. by 2030.
                                                                                ( US Dept of Energy )
.....and up to 30% by 2050.
                           (industry experts as quoted in environment.nationalgeographic.com)

To achieve the 20% goal, the wind power industry would have to multiply its current output by a factor of 11.
