Good news on the wind front, as reported in Ecogeek. Texas recently produced over 20% of its power needs by wind alone. Unfortunately, the transmission infrastructure only existed for a part of that power to be transported to consumers.
More work is needed to create cost-effective storage, through batteries, compressed air, or the like, or for more transmission capability. Until that happens, and for many years to come, we're going to need to burn fossil fuels if we're to have a reliable base load of electrical energy.
