Today, 314,000 wind turbines supply nearly 4 percent of global electricity, and it will soon be much more… An increase in onshore wind from 3 to 4 percent of world electricity use to 21.6 percent by 2050 could reduce emissions by 84.6 gigatons of carbon dioxide.
Project Drawdown – Solution #2 Wind Turbines (Onshore)
Over 25 researchers at Purdue University are working to, “make wind energy as cheap and dependable as coal and natural gas. We envision an industry that supplies at least 20% of U.S. electricity from clean, sustainable wind power.”
