Abstract
In the last decade harnessing wind energy for electrical power production has moved well beyond its origins in California and is now being applied in many other states and countries. Of all the sustainable energy technologies, wind power is the most likely to have the earliest impact on reducing the growth rate of carbon dioxide emissions due to its relatively low cost and mature status. This presentation will describe recent changes in the global outlook for wind energy, including advances in turbines, and then detail what is being done to bring more wind turbines and wind turbine manufacturing to Ohio. Ideas for future research on wind energy will also be given.
