Future wind power costs are 50% lower than predicted five years ago, study shows

(Natural News) A new study from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) estimates that future wind power costs will be 50 percent lower than what experts predicted five years ago. This disparity is mainly fueled by lower upfront, operating and financing costs, higher power generation capacity and longer design life. Improvements in these areas hinge upon better turbine technology in the…  » READ MORE
