Wind Energy Industry Growth Forecast in United States and EU

wind energy industry growth
In 2006, total world wind generating electricity capacity was around 72,000 MW, producing some 160 terawatt-hours (TWh) per year of electricity. As of the end of 2006, the top wind producers were Germany, with 20,622 MW; Spain, with 11,615 MW; and the United States, with 11,575 MW.

Even so, wind accounts for only about 1 percent of the world’s total energy use. (more…)

Wind Power Could Meet All Global Energy Needs, Multiplied by 40

wind power global energy needs
The wind power potentially could produce 40 times more electricity than worldwide energy consumption annually, according to research led by Professor of Planetary Sciences Department of Earth and Harvard University Michael B. McElroy. Only the U.S. has enough wind resources to cover wind technology with 16 times its electricity demand. (more…)
