America Closes 2008 as World's Largest Wind Power Producer. By Stacey Feldman, SolveClimate.com, December 30, 2008. "It was a bad year for US carmakers, corn ethanol and EPA rollbacks. But not for wind. For the nation's most promising clean energy source, it was another record-breaking 12 months, says the American Wind Energy Association, in its take on the industry's 2008 accomplishments. America surged past the 20,000-megawatt installed capacity milestone in the summer months. It struck the 21,000 megawatt-mark by September's end. And it closed the year with a sprint to the finish, beating out Germany to become the largest generator of wind energy in the world."
