More than 15,000 wind turbines are in commercial use in California, the world's pioneer in electricity. They produce 2.2 billion kilowatts a year. That's the equivalent of 3.5 million barrels of oil, somewhat less than half of one day's imports. It's also about 1 percent of the electricity the state consumes, or an amount equal to the power used in all the homes of San Francisco. wind-generat- Wind, its advocates say, is domestic and abounding. The turbines it turns emit no carbon dioxide, the villain in acid rain, or other pollutants, and don't contribute to the greenhouse effect, the warming of the atmosphere. According to Randall Swisher, executive director of the association, a new study establishes "the immense potential of wind energy to meet America's energy needs." The study said 1.5 percent of the area of the 48 contiguous states have usable winds averaging 16 mph or more at 50 meters above the ground, similar to the winds that turn California's turbines. Such winds "are being developed today using current technology," Swisher said. ly AlaHe said only four states bama, Mississippi, Florida and Louisiana lack "commercial wind potential." The study was conducted by Pacific Northwest Laboratories, operated by Battelle Memorial Institute for the Energy Department. Surgeon general: It's never too late to quit smoking San Francisco 70 A( - Page Wind energy experts blow info Washington - Weather Accu-Weath- THE HERALD, Prcvo, Utah. 25, 1990 geon General Antonia C. Novello wrote in the preface to the report. People who quit before age 50 have half the risk of dying in the next 16.5 years compared with continuing smokers, the report said. And for all ages, 10 to 15 years of abstinence reduces risk of dying to nearly the level of people who never smoked. "Smoking cessation represents the single most important step that smokers can take to enhance the length and quality of their lives," Novello said. Twenty previous reports issued since 1964 by the surgeon general's office have considered most of the health aspects of smoking. The 1990 report, the first by Novello, focuses on the health benefits of smoking cessation by analyzing data from the American Cancer Society's Cancer Prevention Study II. About 390,000 Americans die each year from diseases attributed to smoking. Although nearly half of all living adults who ever smoked have quit, about 50 million Americans continue the habit. Male smokers are 22 times more likely than nonsmokers to die of lung cancer and female smokers have 12 times the risk of nonsmokers. This disease is leading cause of cancer death for both men and women. But quitting smoking steadily reduces the lung cancer risk, and after a decade of abstinence, former smokers have 30 percent to 50 percent the risk of dying of lung cancer as continuing smokers, the report said. The risk continues to decline as the period of abstinence grows longer. Quitting also reduces the risk of getting cancers of the larynx, mouth, esophagus, pancreas and bladder, the report said. Smoking during pregnancy doubles the risk of having a low birthweight baby, but this excess risk is eliminated when a woman doesn't smoke during pregnancy.
