DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe U.S. Department of Energy's Wind Powering America Program is committed to educating state-level policy makers and other stakeholders about the economic, CO2 emissions, and water conservation impacts of wind power. This analysis highlights the expected impacts of 1000 MW of wind power in Michigan. We forecast the cumulative economic benefits from 1000 MW of development in Maryland to be $1.2billion, annual CO2 reductions are estimated at 3 million tons, and annual water savings are 1,581 million gallons.
