That picture is of the ancient long gone US Windpower wind turbines in Livermore, CA. You really need a better picture there.

If it's a linear growth (i.e., 16GW per year as mentioned) then it will take a lot longer than if the growth is accelerating. If it's 16GW next year, then 24GW in 2010, and 32GW in 2011, we'll hit the target a lot sooner.
