Fast Facts (p. 3):
Over 10,000 MW of wind was installed in 2009, the largest year in
U.S. history . . .
Current U.S. wind power capacity is over 35,000 MW. Wind provided 39%
of all new generating capacity in 2009.
[I'll bet both figures are nameplate, only. Adjusted that would be
roughly 13% of new capacity and 12 GB, which are still impressive]
U.Wind energy provided 1.8% of U.S. power in 2009. . . .
[Up from ~1% a few years ago]
Look at the graph on p. 4. That's what we need to see with cold
fusion research funding if we are ever going to get anywhere.
