Annual US Wind Power Capacity


Here is a chart showing Annual Wind Capacity for the US [United States], note the large increase in the last few years. So what is T. Boone Pickens [blog link] talking about, there seems to be a lot of wind power activity.

Related; Wind Power Capacity per state map. Hmm somebody just made a comment that this is only 1%, I'm sure he's right ~ but still a large increase in using wind power. The numbers are going up, and that's what counts

All of the activity shown on the graph so far adds up to just 1% of U.S. electricity. Wind can generate 20% or more and it's way past time to get serious about it. See 20percentwind.org
