Power Cars With Wind Power

Plug-in electric and hybrid electric vehicles should be powered by electricity from wind power rather than using carbon emitting natural gas, as T.

New car technology is matched by new wind-turbine technology, setting the stage for an automotive-fuel economy powered largely by cheap wind energy. The Energy Department notes that North Dakota, Kansas and Texas alone have enough wind energy to easily satisfy national electricity needs.
