The cost of generating electricity from wind has fallen dramatically. In the 1980s, wind power generation cost as much as 30 cents per kilowatt-hour. Today, that cost has dropped closer to five cents to seven cents per hour, after factoring in tax credits and government incentives. The industry s goal today is to enhance wind technologies and systems to the point that wind is competitive without...

The benefit analysis shows that the proposed three pilot wind-power generation plants become economically profitable as regards diesel-electric generation after several years. 

Past experience shows that as the equipment needed for new technologies starts to be mass produced, its prices drop. The cost of wind power-generated electricity has already been reduced to one quarter of that of the first installations. An ultrathin-film solar collector manufacturer (Nanosolar) claims that it will soon market collectors at costs that are severalfold less expensive than today s PV prices. We do not know if that particular claim is correct or not, but we know that time is on our side. Therefore, it is realistic to expect that as markets expand, the costs of mass-produced renewable energy devices will also drop and the cost of transition to a solar-hydrogen economy over several decades will become not only affordable, but will also create jobs and an economic boom. We should remember that drastic changes can occur rapidly after all, a century ago electricity was a luxury that only 3% of the households had. The same will occur with renewable energy over the 21st century.

In Schleswig-Holstein in 2020, approx. 1 TWh excess electricity could be produced and will go to waste unless suitable measures are implemented. This amount of excess electricity would be equal to around 5-20 % of the total wind power generated. The production of hydrogen is an advantageous and flexible option for using this excess electricity ... 

Renewables plastics are key to solar and wind power generation. 

Concerns that have emerged from the last decades of the twentieth century relating to safety and environmental issues have led to further expansion of the applications of CF, including the production of natural gas tanks for vehicles due to their low carbon dioxide emissions and clean exhaust gas, and blades for wind-power generators (Ogawa, 2000).
