That's a big investment for a community.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

I think they really built an attractive place here and have just employed all green construction.

The whole business is run on sustainable energy.

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.

Contact info for two electrical contractors.

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

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.

I need an electrician, but I can't get anyone to return my calls.

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

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?

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

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

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?

It's in ecological sustainability.

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.

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.

Power it generates heat,

Dead bodies resurrected to carry out the will of a powerful bokor. You need to stay away from this, Vicki.

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

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

You might take states like Iowa and Ohio two very important political states, by the way those two governors, and they would say, we're going to lead the nation in producing the wind turbines and the wind energy.

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.

I love being around these big wind generators.

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

Especially people who have children, small children.

Commercial nuclear energy around the world has a very good safety record even if you include Chernobyl.

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.

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

Now you don't find several thousand targets in that area.

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

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.
