1 The Department of Energy finds that â Among a large sample of wind projects installed in 2012, the capacity-weighted average installed cost stood at nearly $1,940/kW, down almost $200/kW from the reported average cost in 2011 and down almost $300/kW from the reported average cost in both 2009 and 2010 .â [3].he Department of Energy, below, depicts the cost reduction in wind energy alongside U.S. wind energy deployment, showing a decrease in cost of more than 90% since the early 1980's.
As noted by MDGuidelines, the majority of fractures to the sternum heal in six to 12 weeks without the need for medical intervention. Furthermore, MDGuidelines states that in order to avoid setbacks or further injuries, adhering to the recommended treatment method presented by a physician is essential.
The good news is, the prognosis as far as recovery is concerned is generally excellent, and the sternum usually heals itself. The other piece of good news is that a cracked or broken sternum is somewhat of a rare occurrence, though that may be of little comfort if it actually happens to you. The sternum is a pretty tough nut when it comes to sustaining injury.
