11. The source, wind, is abundant The tecnology has to be further developed The use of the technology creates many jobs Requires storage in remote areas Has the potential to create a new industry in many countries The production cost still has to decline in moderate wind sites to compete with coal Competitive prices for consumers The production cost is currently very low only in good to excellent wind sites It has the potential to electrify remote areas Like other renewable technologies, it requires initial investment The technology has a lot of space for improvement Requires a lot of land to place the turbines Precios never rise, they only drop Can affect birds and bats if not well-sited, though not significantly Reduces fossil fuel dependence Variable resource, reducing the time of electricity production Produces electricity without emissions Disadvantages Advantages Wind Energy

26. [1] Assuming installation in good to excellent sites, or 3% of the land. [2] Assuming that the coal plants will generate electricity for 6,000-6,500 hours per year (70-75% factor). [3] Assuming comparison to the price of electricity from oil: US $0.13/kW-hr. [4] Cheaper for investors, not consumers. Less Económic More Económic [4] Conclusion US $500-1,200 millions US $400-1,200 millions Consumer Savings (per year) [3] US $640-3,600 millions US $280-1,680 millions Total Cost 1600-4800MW 800-2400MW [2] Needed Capacity (2020) US $0.4-0.75 millions/MW US $0.35-0.7 millions/MW Installation Cost $0.03-0.05/kW-hr [1] US $0.05/kW-hr Production Cost Wind Coal Scenario A

28. [1] CDEEE, 2005. [2] The average between 1.2 and 1.5 million was used. Less Economic More Economic Conclusion US $500-1,200 millions US $400-1,200 millions Consumer Savings (per year) US $2,160-6,480 millions US $1,080-3,240 millions Total Cost 1600-4800MW 800-2400MW Needed Capacity (2020) US $1.35 millions/MW [2] US $1.35 millions/MW [1] Installation Cost $0.03-0.05/kW-hr US $0.05/kW-hr Production Cost Wind Coal Scenario B

30. [1] Savings are less because coal emits approximately 50% more carbon dioxide than oil. More Economic Less Economic Conclusion US $650-1,650 millions US $200-600 millions [1] Consumer Savings (per year) US $2,160-6,480 millions US $1,080-3,240 millions Total Cost 1600-4800MW 800-2400MW Needed Capacity (2020) US $1.35 millions/MW US $1.35 millions/MW Installation Cost $0.03-0.05/kW-hr US $0.08/kW-hr Production Cost Wind Coal Scenario C
