Experts say that 22% of U.S. electricity production can be produced with wind power by 2030. This is a plan that can help break the U.S. free from the economic strangle hold of foreign oil and reduce our countries tremendous dept. This plan is based on studies for monumental-scale wind power in the U.S. wind corridor. We can't argue that monumental wind turbines themselves are efficient in producing electricity, but we can argue that the distribution of energy is not. This thesis will show how we can accelerate the diffusion of wind at a much faster rate by looking at alternatives to monumental-scale wind turbines. There are three levels of wind power connection that must take place before the diffusion of wind energy can occur. These levels consist of the utility level, campus level, and residential level. This will lead to a higher percentage of electricity coming from wind power at an even faster rate, a more efficient development process, and a greater connection to people and their community.
