Energy Options From Pacific Power Blue Sky Blocks $1.95/100kwh (typical home uses 500-1000kwh/mo) Energy Source: 100% Wind. Blue Sky Usage: $0.0078/kwh (about 10%) above “regular” energy cost. Energy Source: Wind 61%; Biomass 38%; Solar 1% Habitat: Rate the same as “Blue Sky Usage” Additional ‘donation’ $2.50/month to The Nature Conservancy for restoration of native salmon habitat.

Wind Power

And out in our very own Morrow County* Thanks to Morrow County student, Mary Rietmann for this photo

Is Wind Power Competitive? Why Wind Power? Is Wind Power Competitive? US Dept. of Energy “Levelized Costs of new generation facilities in 2019” Hydropower 8.5 cents/kwh New Wind 8.0 cents/kwh New Coal 9.5 cents/kwh New Natural Gas 6 – 10 cents/kwh New Solar PV 13 cents/kwh New Geothermal 4.8 cents/kwh New Nuclear Highly Variable

Wind Power Advantages It is perpetual As long as the wind blows, you have energy inputs

Wind Power Advantages It is perpetual Wind speed increases during day as demand increases.

Wind Power Advantages Turbines inexpensive and quick to install It is perpetual Wind speed increases during day as demand increases Turbines inexpensive and quick to install 2MW models cost about $2.5 million Often less than a year from permit application to operating wind farm.

Wind Power Advantages Reduced Environmental Impacts It is perpetual Wind speed increases during day as demand increases Turbines inexpensive and quick to install Reduced Environmental Impacts At least the operations. There are no free lunches—it takes resources to make these things and recycling at the end of their life.

Wind Power Advantages Price stability It is perpetual Wind speed increases during day as demand increases Turbines inexpensive and quick to install Reduced environmental impacts Price stability The wind is “free” it costs the same this year as the next, and the next, and the next.

Wind Power Advantages (con’t) Reduced dependence on fossil fuel

Wind Power Advantages (con’t) Reduced dependence on fossil fuel More jobs per unit of energy

Wind Power Advantages (con’t) Reduced dependence on fossil fuel More jobs per unit of energy Long-term income to ranchers and farmers

Wind Power Disadvantages Wind must blow 2/3rds of the time

Wind Power Disadvantages Wind must blow 2/3rds of the time Need 15-18 mph constant wind

Wind Power Disadvantages Wind must blow 2/3rds of the time Need 15-18 mph constant wind Often requires new infrastructure (powerlines)

Wind Power Disadvantages Wind must blow 2/3rds of the time Need 15-18 mph constant wind Often requires new infrastructure (powerlines) Chops birds and bats

Wind Power Disadvantages Wind must blow 2/3rds of the time Need 15-18 mph constant wind Often requires new infrastructure (powerlines) Chops birds Noisy

Global Wind Installed Capacity-2015 The Big Five (in Gigawatts)

US vs World Wind Power (in Gigawatts) 2015

US Land Based Wind Installations 1980-2015

How a Wind Turbine Works

????Megawatt???? A “Megawatt of “Installed Capacity” of Wind Generated Electricity is enough to power about 270 homes. Currently in the US we are generating enough wind energy to power about 16.7 million homes. This means that 82 million tons of CO2 did not go into the atmosphere last year.

Installed and Potential Wind Capacity

Vansycle Ridge Wind Farm; Northern Oregon

Current Wind Power Currently meets almost 5% of US needs Installed capacity increases: 50% in 2008 39% in 2009 5% in 2010 31% in 2011 60% in 2012 20% in 2013 9% in 2014 16% in 2015

Potential Wind E. in NW --STATE-- Oregon Washington Idaho Montana --MEGAWATTS-- 4,900 3,700 8,300 116,000

Oregon’s Power Future 2% of state suitable for Wind Generation (USDOE) Could Oregon meet its needs with renewable energy—Hydro, Wind, Waves, Solar: both photovoltaic and concentrated solar? Perhaps if coupled with an increase in efficiency of existing buildings, etc.

Coal vs Wind Coal: * A 60 watt Incandescent light burning for non-stop for one year requires 427 pounds of coal. * Converting that coal to energy produces: 3 lbs of sulfur dioxide (acid rain base) 3 lbs of nitrogen oxide (smog and acid rain base) 1112 pounds of carbon dioxide (greenhouse gas) Wind: * A single 2 MW wind turbine would only have to spin for 50 minutes to power that light bulb for a year. Incandescent versus Compact Fluorescent Bulbs * A single 2 MW wind turbine would have to spin for 12 minutes to power an equivalent size compact fluorescent bulb for a year and about 8 minutes for a LED bulb.

Wind Power “Battery” Since wind doesn’t always blow at any given site it always requires a backup, often coal, hydro, gas. Creative Solution: Underground sequestration of compressed air. Costs 6.5 cents/kWh to produce off peak; sell at 10 cents/kWh peak—
