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.

And there are a lot of similarities between the Internet and the electric industry.

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.

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

It's being managed by a Singaporean based management company.

Two terawatt hours, it's roughly half what the U.S. solar industry produced last year.

Rnd, industry cofinancing, Prizes.

That's 10 to the sixteenth. And they consume one and a half megawatts of power.

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.

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.

And I tested them.

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?

Who you with, the water department or the real estate office?

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,

(Laughter)

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.

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.

Japan is highly competitive in high technology industries.

I love being around these big wind generators.

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

So there's a much better analogy that allows you to be incredibly optimistic and that analogy is the electric industry.

Principal industry farming.
