Having grown up there, that's pretty cool -- kind of like a breeze, heh, heh. But knowing Iowa, the extra wind energy will be sold to ADM so that they can make more ethanol out of corn! :lol:

I wonder what demand will look like over the coming decades.
Try reading some JMG, here he explains why we are likely we to see lots of demand destruction over the next decade.

As the proportion of oil coming from marginal extraction techniques increases relative to conventional supply, prices are bound to rise and more and more people will be squeezed out of participation in industrial society, forcing them to change their lifestyles in ways which will centre around the use of much less energy, mostly renewable. The more renewable energy production we can install between now and 'then' will likely determine how painful the immediate transition will be.
