2014 Wind Energy Numbers Are In!

Posted by leephillipsdesign

by Mary Kate FrancisMaryKate

In 2014, we avoided 26.4 million cars worth of carbon pollution by generating electricity from wind power.

Additionally, wind power generation reduced power plant water consumption by approximately 68 billion gallons, the equivalent of roughly 215 gallons per person in the U.S.
Please take a moment to share these updates with your federal legislators, and emphasize that you want to see these trends continue. With stable policy, the wind energy industry is positioned to achieve the growth described in the U.S. Department of Energy’s recently released Wind Vision report – double within the next five years to supply 10% of U.S. electricity by 2020, 20% by 2030, and 35% by 2050.
Thank you in advance for your help!  And, if you’re interested in taking a deeper dive into the wind energy numbers, please take a look at the executive summary of the 2014 U.S. Wind Industry Annual Market Report.
