Tuesday’s Wall Street Journal included an editorial by Robert Bryce titled “Wind Power Won’t Cool Down the Planet,” claiming that wind power does not reduce carbon pollution, based on fossil fuel industry studies. In response to Bryce’s editorial, Renewable Northwest Project has released a statement from Ken Dragoon, RNP research director, countering Bryce’s claims with facts from independent sources.

American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) has also issued a similar statement. http://awea.org/newsroom/pdf/08-27-10-Wind_and_emissions_response.pdf.
