Abstract:
Wind energy can help Colorado meet a growing demand for electricity in a clean and sustainable way while providing significant economic development for rural parts of the state. Meeting new electricity demand with wind power instead of natural gas would result in roughly twice the total economic benefit to Colorado over the next two decades. State policy can effectively promote the development of economical wind energy.
