Wind energy could meet many times world’s total power demand by 2030


Wind energy could provide up to half the world’s power supply with little environmental impact, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Delaware and Stanford University.

The study debunks previous assessments that suggested wind wouldn’t be a feasible way to power much of the world’s grid due to environmental and power output concerns. According to the University of Delaware’s Cristina Archer, about 4 million turbines could provide the world with 7.5 terawatts of energy annually, about half of the estimated power necessary to run earth’s power grids in 2030.
