Nothing like putting your Cash to work for you down the road………..BP has 15,000MW’s of Wind under development…………….Vestas is installing one Wind Turbine every 4 hours 24/7 worldwide……..Six turbines per day …………

About BP Alternative Energy/BP America
BP Alternative Energy, launched in November 2005, combines all of BP’s interests in low and zero-carbon energy including wind, solar, hydrogen power with carbon capture and storage, natural gas-fired power generation, biofuels for low carbon transport and distributed energy for emerging markets. BP Alternative Energy is one of the leading wind developers in the U.S. with a wind portfolio that includes the opportunity to develop almost 100 projects and a potential total generating capacity of 15,000 megawatts. The company currently has a total of five wind projects under construction in California, Indiana, Kansas and Texas. By the end of 2008, it’s expected that over 1,000 megawatts of wind projects developed by BP Alternative Energy North America will be in operation.

since the only folks reading anything are searches of Lipstick, well, I thought I would put some Lipstick on My Wind Turbine………….We Need Wind Power for Homeland Security!!

T. Boone Pickens calls the USA the Saudia Arabia of Wind……….

What’s the good news?

The United States is the Saudi Arabia of wind power.

Studies from around the world show that the Great Plains States are home to the greatest wind energy potential in the world — by far.

The Department of Energy reports that 20% of America’s electricity can come from wind. North Dakota alone has the potential to provide power for more than a quarter of the country.

Today’s wind turbines stand up to 410 feet tall, with blades that stretch 148 feet in length. The blades collect the wind’s kinetic energy. In one year, a 3-megawatt wind turbine produces as much energy as 12,000 barrels of imported oil.

Wind power currently accounts for 48 billion kWh of electricity a year in the United States — enough to serve more than 4.5 million households. That is still only about 1% of current demand, but the potential of wind is much greater.

A 2005 Stanford University study found that there is enough wind power worldwide to satisfy global demand 7 times over — even if only 20% of wind power could be captured.
