U.S. Passes Germany as Top Producer of Wind Power. By David Downey, San Diego Times, July 29, 2008. "For a country with a reputation for being addicted to fossil fuels, it may come as a surprise that the United States is now the world leader in one green-energy category. During the first half of 2008, the U.S. surpassed Germany in total amount of electricity generated from the wind, according to the American Wind Energy Association… Germany still has the ability to generate more electricity at any given moment, but the U.S. is getting more out of its windmill-like turbines, said Ryan Wiser, a scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory who tracks wind power."
