Wind Power Alone Could Easily Meet All Humanity's Electricity Needs, and Then Some

TreeHugger...For those with slower math skills, wind power alone has the potential to generate just over 22 times the power we currently use, 100 times that if we develop technology to tap into high altitude winds.

Report author Ken Caldeira hits another repeated theme:

Looking at the big picture, it is more likely that economic, technology or political factors will determine the growth of wind power around the world, rather than geophysical limitations. (Science Daily)
