The Future of Energy Could be Blowing in the Wind
The problem with wind energy, the collective wisdom goes, is that you can't control when the wind is going to blow. True, says Paul Sadler, the executive director of the Wind Coalition, but the energy created by wind power can be stored. And there lies the problem: how can Texas store and transmit wind energy? According to Sadler in a recent Austin-American Statesman commentary, wind makes up 8 percent of our energy capacity. "But because of a lack of transmission lines, wind supplies only 4 percent of our power." Sadler believes Texas is at a crucial crossroad right now when it comes to wind energy. Texas has ample wind resources, as well as lawmakers willing to craft new energy policies in...
The question of how we are going to meet our future energy needs is something that all energy suppliers have been thinking about for years and are now working out. With the five main sources of renewable energy already being tapped to create the electricity that we need more and more and crops like corn and soybeans being used to create the biofuels that are being used more and more there is no doubt that we will never run out of electricity or fuels to run our vehicles. The main question here is this: can we get rid of our long dependence on fossil fuels and switch totally over to the renewable energy sources that will more than meet our future energy needs? Let's look at how each of the renewable...
