Wind power is now responsible for generating 43% of all new electricity capacity in the USA, according to new findings from the country’s energy department.
Renewable energy generation has doubled in the last four years, following the Barack Obama administration’s drive towards green electricity supply.
And a new infographic produced by the US government illustrates the rapid growth of the wind industry in the American energy market.
“The tremendous growth in the U.S. wind industry over the past few years underscores the importance of consistent policy that ensures America remains a leader in clean energy innovation,” said US energy secretary Ernest Moniz.
“As the fastest growing source of power in the United States, wind is paving the way to a cleaner, more sustainable future that protects our air and water and provides affordable, clean renewable energy to more and more Americans.”
