Abstract: Wind power has been identified as the most cost-efficient form of alternative energy. Americans regularly read news stories about wind power and see newspaper advertisements urging the public to support wind power. Yet because large-scale wind power is relatively new, we do not know how much Americans understand about it or what they think about it.
