| Abstract: | The success of wind energy in California and Denmark has proven that the technology has matured, that it is as reliable as conventional technology, and that it is economically competitive. Surveys have shown that the public is not only willing to accept its visual impact, but prefers wind energy over competitive technologies when given a choice. The wind energy's tremendous growth during the 1980s has pushed the technology beyond that of merely another alternative. The paper examines how wind energy has come of age in California. |
