In other news, a report has come out which claims that wind turbines could generate 300 gigawatts by 2030, which would power about 20 percent of the US electrical grid. All by itself, such a change could reduce carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation (think: coal and natural gas plants) by 25 percent and drop water consumption by four trillion gallons.

It seems to me that we already have the technological know-how to massively reduce our carbon emissions, all we need now is to put the ideas into practice.
