I'm kinda lazy today, but let's just say the wind energy potential in greenhouse gas mitigation and employment is tremendous.

A few towns in my area have been looking into wind energy and actually we have quite a few wind readings going on to get the best spot for a few probably next year or so. I have read that the cost to install is made up for relatively quickly and then, its really pure profit after regular upkeep. Didnt see anything however regarding employment.

Of course the scale of production is much bigger, but Germany and Denmark combined account for 60 000 jobs in windmill production and management.

The USA has great wind capacity, by the way. Studies have shown the theoretic potential existis to provide enough energy for the whole of the U.S. with wind energy alone.

Check this.
