Wind energy could supply most of our needs

It’s always dangerous to evaluate how many news reporters wrote about any given scientific study, particularly if you’re relying on Google News, but I can’t find anything about a recent study that seems pretty significant:

Xi Lu of Harvard and colleagues report http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2009/06/19/0904101106.full.pdf+html in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that the overall potential for production of wind energy could supply our current electricity more than 40 times over.

Wow!
