	Harness the Power of Wind 12:00 PM Wind energy offers the promise of a robust and inexhaustible domestic energy source. Not only do wind turbines provide power with minimal greenhouse gas emissions, but virtually no fresh water is required for power production. Wind energy capacity in the U.S. now produces enough electricity to power the equivalent of approximately 7 million households. Despite impressive recent growth, wind energy still constitutes less than 2% of US electricity sources. Several attainable policy and technical challenges must be surmounted if electricity generated by wind is to provide a significant source of domestic power. This presentation will highlight approaches to some of these challenges. As society considers large-scale implementation of wind energy, assessment and consideration of the local environmental impacts of turbines will be required. The integration of large fractions of fluctuating quantities of renewable energy into power grids requires accurate prediction of power availability to balance fluctuations in power sources with fluctuating power demands. These predictions in turn depend on accurate forecasts of wind and atmospheric conditions, nuanced understanding of the impacts of complex terrain on flow and turbulence in the lower atmosphere, and even delineation of the impacts of turbines on each other through turbulent wake effects.
