According to a 2009 Energy Information Agency Report on Electricity Generation, wind power provided only 70 billionkWh of the total U.S. 3, 953 kWh supply (1.79% of generated power).
Under a CHP standard, the chemicals industry would generate nearly 200 billionkWh by 2035, compared with a more modest expansion for pulp and paper, which grows to about 75 billionkWh.
