What a poorly written article. "Wind energy expected to grow dramatically."
I know I'm not the best writer, but this article from Wired Magazine is pretty bad. The headline is clear:
Use of wind energy expected to grow dramatically.
Later, buried in the article:
But the report cautioned that its findings were not meant to predict that such growth would, in fact, be achieved, but only that it is technically possible. And it acknowledged "there are significant costs, challenges and impacts" associated with such rapid growth.
Huh? Expected has pretty clear connotations, and the later paragraph doesn't sound like "expected".
I have a lot of hope for wind, but I agree that there are "significant costs, challenges and impacts".

Actually, it's the headline that is a bit off the mark. The purpose of the report was to investigate feasibility, and it's pretty clear that the feasibility is there.
