By: Greg Fisher

Turbine Wind turns propellers surrounding a rotor. Rotor spins a generator to create electricity

Uses Electricity grid 1 MW Single home or building 5-15 KW rating for home.

Wind Power Maps Darker areas indicate more wind

Existing Power Capacity (in MW)

Choice Energy Wind power Started by Columbia River PUD Purchase electricity from wind power Supports future renewable energy development

Klondike MW turbines Enough to power 6,126 homes

Condon kW turbines Enough to power 10,513 homes

Stateline kW turbines Enough to power 26,500 homes

Hydro and Wind Balance Existence of dams creates logistical issues Dams are reliable Wind storms cause excess wind energy Divert water around dams.

Impacts on Fish Wind storm create electricity surge Dams forced to reroute water in a harmful way to fish

Impacts on Bats Barotrauma is deadly to bats Deadlier to bats than birds

Impact on Birds Very limited Millions killed by house cats per year Only thousands per year by turbines

Future of Wind Energy North Dakota and Texas have greatest potential Washington is nearing max with potential capacity at 3740 MW and current capacity at MW

Existing Wind power Texas is in the lead MW currently MW in production 136,100 MW potential

Costs Wind: cents per kWh* Hydro: cents per kWh Geo: cents per kWh* Nuclear: 4 cents per kWh Coal: 2.6 cents per kWh * taken from geothermal power website
