Wind
power has been an enticing renewable energy option. The downside of this option
has, for the most part, been overlooked. Does it meet the criteria of
reliability, efficiency, or economics as compared with other sources of energy?
These issues will be discussed by your instructor David Hacker in light of
recent improvements in other technologies. Comparisons will be made with other
renewable schemes as well as with other competing energy forms. Some answers to
the question of why wind may have a serious limitation will be examined as well
as the attempts underway to improve efficiency of wind turbines that capture
the wind. Registration
