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 Kingdom
Wind power delivers a growing percentage of the electricity of the United Kingdom and by mid-December 2018, it consisted of 9,391 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of over 20.5 gigawatts: 12,628 megawatts of onshore capacity and 7,899 megawatts of offshore capacity. 
This placed the United Kingdom at this time as the world's fourth largest producer of wind power. Polling of public opinion consistently shows strong support for wind power in the UK, with nearly three quarters of the population agreeing with its use, even for people living near onshore wind turbines.
