Wind. It’s clean (wind power generates absolutely no greenhouse gases). It’s renewable. And it involves no production decline curve. Hence, 30 years from now we won’t be worrying about “Peak Wind” theories coming to fruition.

It also can’t be hoarded by power hungry cartels. In fact, enough of it exists to satisfy global demand seven times over, according to a Stanford University study. North Dakota alone has enough of it to meet 25% of U.S. demand.



But perhaps most importantly, it’s finally coming of age. Just consider:

From 2000 to 2007, the size of the wind power industry increased fivefold.
Last year, records were shattered with $36 billion in total global wind investments with the United States leading the way with $9 billion.
In the next 10 years, the wind industry is expected to quadruple in size.
