Put it in my backyard!

Popular Science has a good series with 10 Steps To End America’s Fossil-Fuel Addiction. An excerpt:

In 1991 a government wind-resources inventory concluded that three states—Kansas, North Dakota and Texas—had enough available, harnessable wind energy to meet the entire country’s electricity needs.

It's good reading and yet another piece of evidence that it's time our governments took a leadership role and weaned us off fossil fuels.

Sounds good to me. Good sources for further information:

American Wind Energy Association, www.awea.org
Canadian Wind Energy Association, www.canwea.ca

AWEA has a detailed tutorial on wind here.
