That's a big investment for a community.

But her dream of Coal River Mountain Wind is her legacy.

I could make a contribution if I stop driving my car.

The next thing is What about the footprint? Stewart mentioned the footprint.

Wind is wonderful I love wind.

Now to charge the battery, we connect a source of electricity.

This has to be a bridge to the point where you can get to wind, to the point where you can get to solar, to the point where you can get to nuclear and hopefully you won't build the next nuclear plant on a beautiful seashore next to an earthquake fault.

Along the eastern seaboard, we're going to lead the nation in offshore wind.

We're often told though that only coal and nuclear plants can keep the lights on, because they're 24 7, whereas wind and solar power are variable, and hence supposedly unreliable.

But that's only twice as big as 1.25 watts per square meter.

If in the time that it took me to walk out here on this stage, some tens of megawatts of wind power stopped pouring into the grid, the difference would have to be made up from other generators immediately.

The whole business is run on sustainable energy.

These are some questions that we've yet to ask.

So far there is only three sources of baseload electricity coal, some gas, nuclear and hydro.

That is how, for example, four German states in 2010 were 43 to 52 percent wind powered.

Should we allow the same mistake to happen again?

Yeah. I believe we don't really appreciate what we have, and I only speak for myself.

In places like Denmark and Germany, they've maxed out on wind already.

In fact, every region of the country could do this.

pennsylvania's exercising leadership on solar power and wind power.

You cannot do a wind deal under six dollars an MCF.

But instead of just showing us the information, we can take our finger and explore, and see, state by state, exactly how much wind potential there is.

Let's talk a little bit about how nuclear fission works.

And the chart here shows the difference between the emissions from the regular grid, resulting if you use nuclear, or anything else, versus wind, CSP or photovoltaics.

This one shows the wind potential all around the United States.

I love being around these big wind generators.

If the environmental agency can't decide that the power lines are good for the environment, then there's no way to bring the power from the wind farms to the city.

CA And so, and that windmill, what it worked?

Nuclear power plants supply 20 of the nation's electricity.

And so it takes a very large footprint on the land, a very large footprint in terms of materials, five to 10 times what you'd use for nuclear, and typically to get one gigawatt of electricity is on the order of 250 square miles of wind farm.

I used to worry about the 10,000 year factor.

Power it generates heat,

If the end game is global warming, they're doing great.

Finding the mother tree under which children can talk about their problems and worries.

With a giant battery, we'd be able to address the problem of intermittency that prevents wind and solar from contributing to the grid in the same way that coal, gas and nuclear do today.

And the area outside of the circle is infinite, meaning the potential for invention is limitless.

Iran is doing that right now.

Wind and solar can't help, because so far we don't have a way to store that energy.

So, what do we do about that?

It doesn't just replace the words.

It is still on the order of about one percent of total energy production in the United States. Wind is quoted in terms of its capacity.

Enter the firing codes.

And in exactly the same way, the grid can handle wind and solar power's forecastable variations.

You don't see wind and solar as...

But rather than writing yet some kind of manifesto or something, she's leaving behind a business plan to make it happen.
