How less became more: Wind, power and unintended consequences in the Colorado energy market
April 16, 2010
by Bentek Energy LLC for the Independent Petroleum Association of Mountain States
This new report from Colorado's natural gas industry says increased use of wind energy indirectly results in raised pollution levels produced by some coal-fired power plants along the Front Range. The report recommends curbing the use of wind energy during the next one or two years to levels that match power output at existing natural gas-fired power plants -- and building more natural gas plants in the long term. The introductory sections of the report are provided below. To access the full document click on the link at the bottom of this page.
