I totally agree with using the wind power but I don't agree with 50% of the electric power being generated by coal. I think the coal and nuclear should be swapped on his charts.. (nuclear should be 50% and coal only 20%)

I also think solar should play a bigger role in his plan, but overall I agree with it other than the 50% coal.
Which chart did you look at? The one I saw with similar figures was talking about the current status, not what he would like to see. Unless I read it wrong. Either way, I agree with you... more nuclear and renewable energy sources.
