Wind Energy: USA #1 producer

Yup – that’s right.  With all the (well deserved) negative press that the US gets in areas pertaining to “issues of the environment”, I get hype when I can actually find some Good news.  Found this over at this blog the other day…

The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) announced that the USA has overcome Germany as the biggest generator of wind energy electricity in the first half of 2008. This milestone, which was not expected until the end of 2009, comes as a result of the higher average wind speeds in the USA, since Germany is still the leader in installed capacity.

That’s Good.  Read the full story here.
