Abstract: The Energy Information Agency predicts that in the next 25 years, wind energy capacity in the U.S. will grow by 300%.
This paper will address some of the main issues affecting the growth in wind energy production in the U.S. and Michigan including regulatory issues, environmental concerns, and technological barriers.
In keeping with a local environmental planning context, most of the focus will be on environmental concerns, including concerns over public safety and welfare, with many references to local policies and regulations.
A discussion of wind energy production is certainly apropos as policy-makers are recognizing the problems associated with current methods of energy production.
Our Dependence on Oil
Oil is an essential resource to our modern lifestyles. As the world's premier source of energy, oil generates 40% of the world's
commercial energy. It has powered economic and population growth over the last century and a half. Ninety-five percent of land,

processes rely on oil. On a personal level, we need oil for our automobiles, for our heating systems, and for our power supplies.
Rising Global Demand
"Global demand for oil has increased seven-fold over the past half-century due to rapid .....
There seems to be confusion about what the hydrogen economy is, and how it benefits the average driver.
In my understanding, the hydrogen economy is simply the use of hydrogen as a medium of exchange among the different energy sources and their uses.
This is similar to the exchange economies for electricity or gasoline.
A typical American buys electricity that is generated and distributors through a complex web of generator, exchange and supply companies located across the region.
The customer needn't follow where the electricity came from, or how it reached him since each kilowatt hour is indistinguishable among the suppliers and the customers.
Because this web, electricity is cheaper and more reliably available than it would be otherwise.
The typical U.S. household uses.....
