How much wind-powered electricity may be generated in 2040 by China, the U.S. and four other countries

Projections of long-term wind-powered electricity by the Energy Information Administration in the past may have been too conservative. We generate alternative projections for China, USA, India, Canada, Japan and South Korea, and compare them against the projections made by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) for the years 2020, 2030 and 2040. Although our projections are much higher than the EIA's for five of the countries, the exception being Japan, our projections are supported by several projections made by other organisations. Implications from our findings will be discussed.
