Wind farm
New installations place the U.S. on a trajectory to generate 20% of the nation’s electricity by 2030 from wind energy. Growth in 2008 channeled some $17 billion into the economy, positioning wind power as one of the leading sources of new power generation in the country, along with natural gas. Wind projects completed in 2008 accounted for about 42% of the entire new power-producing capacity added in the U.S. during the year.
Wind power in the United States
In 2016, Nebraska became the eighteenth state to have installed over 1,000 MW of wind power capacity. 
Texas, with over 22,000 MW of capacity, about 15% of the state's electricity usage, had the most installed wind power capacity of any U.S. state at the end of 2018. 
Texas also had more under construction than any other state currently has installed. 
The state generating the highest percentage of energy from wind power is Iowa, while North Dakota has the most per capita wind generation.
