Wind Turbines - Generating Free Electricity

Wind turbines follows behind natural gas as the biggest source of new power generation in the USA. This is stated by Mark Jacobson ,an atmospheric scientist at Stanford. At the end of 2007 wind turbines were producing 16,818 megawatts of power in the USA. During 2007 about 30 percent of that generating capability was newly installed. The American wind energy Association,(AWEA) estimates that nearly 30 percent of all new electricity supplies last year were wind produced energy. About 1 percent of the United States power requirements will be met by turbine wind power this year. This is enough to supply 4.5...Read Full Article >>>
