Wind Power Research Seeks Source of Energy
By 2000 wind power could supply one tenth of U.S. electricity, a serious push reflected in federal funding rising from 200,000 to 12 million in 1976. Concepts range from offshore towers to backyard windmills, with storage ideas like batteries and hydrogen. NASA's Plum Brook 100 kilowatt prototype faces larger 175 foot blade designs, while historic windmills powered rural life before electrification.
