What is The Roles and Values of Wind Energy about?

## The Roles and Values of Wind Energy Since becoming associated with this journal, I have given some thought to its value and the needs it can meet as re ̄ected against the needs of the wind industry. In the broadest terms, the needs revolve around people, technology and capital. Are we an industry? As measured by the capital committed, the installed base and the multiplicity of players, we are becoming an industry. The momentum gained through the installation of more than 6000 MW of grid-connected wind generating capacity means that we are beginning to arrive. I say beginning because we face the risk of strangling in our own thus-far-limited success. Measured against the existing installed base of conventional generating capacity, the ten-year projections for added capacity and emerging environmental pressures, we have accomplished thus far only a very small fraction of the potential oered by wind technology in its many formsÐgrid-connected, village power or small residential systems. An important issue for all of us is how we will realize the potential of a market denominated in tens of billions of dollars. People. While European installations have swept ahead of those in the US
