Wind power gains traction as fuel costs rise
Wind power gains favor as $4-a-gallon gas and $75-a-barrel oil push the industry toward energy independence. GE and Rutgers experts note a shift in attitude while critics warn of reliability and wildlife risks. 30 states host wind farms totaling nearly 10,000 megawatts with a goal of 20,000 by 2010 and 100,000 by 2020 to power millions of homes.
