In principle, all the power needs of the United States could be provided by exploiting the wind potential of just three states—North Dakota, South Dakota, and Texas.

原则上，美国所有的电力需求，只开发三个州——北达科他州、南达科他州和得克萨斯州——的风能潜力就可以满足。

The biggest wind potential lies off the Atlantic Coast, which the report estimates could produce 1, 000 gigawatts of electricity - enough to meet a quarter of the national demand.

最大的风力潜能位于大西洋海岸，报告估计这些风能可以产生1000兆千瓦的电能，足以满足国家1/4的电力需求。

South Africa and Kenya have not announced such long-term goals, but with power shortages and wind potential of up to 60, 000MW and 30, 000MW respectively, local projects are expected to boom.

而南非和肯尼亚还没有宣布各自的长期目标，不过尽管电力短缺，但这两个国家分别有高达6000万千瓦和3000万千瓦的风能潜力。 估计当地的风力发电项目将比比皆是。
