5、etimes said to be the “twin pillars” of sustainable energy policy. Both resources must be developed in order to stabilize and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Efficiency slows down energy demand growth so that rising clean energy supplies can make deep cuts in fossil fuel use. If energy use grows to

6、o fast, renewable energy development will chase a receding target. Likewise, unless clean energy supplies come on line（投入运行） rapidly, slowing demand growth will only begin to reduce total emissions; reducing the carbon content of energy sources is also needed. Any serious vision of a sustainable ene

13、 dates back several decades to the 1970s when NASA developed an analytical model to predict wind turbine（涡轮） power generation during high winds. Today, both Sandia National Laboratories and National Renewable Energy Laboratoryhave programs dedicated to wind research. A wind farm is a group of wind t

14、urbines in the same location used to produce electric power. A large wind farm may consist of several hundred individual wind turbines, and cover an extended area of hundreds of square miles, but the land between the turbines may be used for agricultural or other purposes. A wind farm may also be lo
