Jay Inslee: generated by wind in the next couple of decades just using existing technology. now, we believe there is going to be some advances in technology. we think there's a good shot at having good storage. one of the issues of wind is the wind doesn't blow all the time. it's an intermittant source. so there's two ways to get around that problem.

Jay Inslee: these now h actuly being grid connected to store wind and solar when we have excess power generation. we think there is a reasonable chance to get to 20%, which is very significant, just on one technology alone.
