The Future of Wind Power
Getty Images
Two new studies suggest wind could power the world in the future. One of the studies, from Stanford University, finds that wind could exceed the world's power demands several times by 2030. What is the future of wind power? How does it compete against solar power, which is cheaper? What's the latest wind technology, and could we start to see deep-water wind turbines off the California coast?
