Wind has the edge. It's fast catching up with oil and gas in cost efficiency with the help of experiments such as the one at Ames Research Center. By comparing what they learn from the wind tunnel's smooth airflow with data from the turbulent breezes at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's test range near Golden, Colorado, engineers expect to build a new generation of superefficient wind turbines with blades well over 200 ft. (60 m) across...
