Another wind myth is that wind power is just a fad and can’t really produce energy.

The reality is, this past year the United States surpassed Germany to become the world leader in wind power:

Wind is here, wind is working and wind is growing.  According to this article:

“- Wind projects accounted for 42 percent of all new electric generating capacity in the United States last year.

“- Growth is distributed across much of the country. Texas leads the nation with 7,118 megawatts of new wind capacity installed, followed by Iowa (2,791 megawatts) and California (2,517 megawatts). For a long time, California led the United States in installed wind capacity.”

So America is leading the world and Texas leading America when it comes to wind power. And the growth of wind energy is not a fad…it’s a fact.
