US Wind Energy Industry Sees 39 pct Growth in 2009
January 26, 2010 /EIN PRESSWIRE/ Despite a whirlwind recession, a gust of stimulus has expedited the growth of wind energy in the US, which saw a 39% growth in capacity in 2009.
According to a report to be released by the American Wind Energy Association, the country is now close to having 2% of its energy provided by wind turbines.
