Global Wind Distribution 2000-2005
North American coastlines, Mississippi/Great
Plains regions and Great Lakes coastlines have
highest wind energy resources approximating 9
TWs of available electricity out of a current
global consumption of 1.6-1.8 TWs worldwide
Indo-Asian coastlines and Himalayan regions (wind
is not well measured there) offer more than 10
TWs of available wind electric power potential
within a current global total use of 1.6-1.8 TWs
of electricity
6 Billion people worldwide need low-cost, safe,
quiet village/urban wind energy of the worlds
current use of 1.61.8 TWs of electricity, wind
power offers 72 TWs Evaluation of Global Wind
power 2005 - C. Archer (lozej_at_stanford.edu), and

• Aerotecture Aeroturbines are
• modular like solar panels
• inherently structural cages
• stackable, joinable, integratable
• universal axis
• self-starting
• self-regulating
• easily partnered with PV, solar daylighting
