Wind could supply all our energy

It is fascinating to think that a single resource, wind, could theoretically supply 5x the US's current energy consumption.

Combine that thinking with the sun, wave, geothermal, etc resources, and there is MORE than enough energy available from Renewable Energy sources, yet we still burn coal and blow up atoms.

Reminds me of one of my favourite quotes: “You see, we should make use of the forces of nature and should obtain all our power in this way. Sunshine is a form of energy, wind and sea currents are manifestations of this energy. Do we make use of them? Oh no! We burn forests and coal, like tenants burning down our front door for heating. We live like wild settlers and not as though these resources belong to us.” Thomas A. Edison, 1916
