Wind Vision: A New Era for Wind Power in the United States

This 2015 report, by the U.S. Department of Energy, was created to analyze and evaluate future paths for the wind industry through four main objectives:
1) Document the current state of wind power and identify important technological accomplishments and societal benefits
2. Explore potential pathways for wind power to contribute to future electricity needs in the U.S.
3. Quantify costs, benefits, and other impacts associated with the continued growth of wind power
4. Identify actions that could support growth in the use and application of wind-generated electricity
