20% of US electricity from wind will have limited impacts on system efficiency and regional climate

The US Department of Energy (DE-SC0016438) and Cornell University's Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future (ACSF-sp2279-2016) funded this research. This research was enabled by access to a range of computational resources supported by NSF; ACI-1541215 and those made available via the NSF Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) (award TG-ATM170024), and those of the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, a DOE Office of Science User Facility supported by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.
