1/09: US had 25GW wind power, EIA predicted 40GW by 2030. Today @awea announced 50GW. Tnx, #stimulus!

“It is amazing that 50,000 megawatts of our nation’s power is generated from clean and affordable wind energy,” said U.S. Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK). “This is a very big milestone for the wind industry, and I am proud the Rocky Ridge Wind Project has contributed to this great success. As a leader of Congress, representing Oklahoma’s Third Congressional District, I have supported the wind energy in the past, and I will continue to support it in the future.”
