Enough wind to power global energy demand: New research examines limits, climate consequences

Enough wind to power global energy demand: New research examines limits, climate consequences: There is enough energy available in winds to meet all of the world's demand. Atmospheric turbines that convert steadier and faster high-altitude winds into energy could generate even more power than ground- and ocean-based units. New research examines the limits of the amount of power that could be harvested from winds, as well as the effects high-altitude wind power could have on the climate as a whole.
