If the US is going for 20% wind by 2020, then the portfolio standard would have to be something like 30% renewable or higher by 2020.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

"Ending [note, ENDING, that is, zero, none, nada] the emission of [ALL of] the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide by 2050 will be necessary to avoid "catastrophic disruption to the world's climate," according to the Worldwatch Institute in its 26th annual assessment, "State of the World 2009: Into a Warming World," released today." http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/jan2009/2009-01-13-02.asp
