Following up on my “Top Wind Power Countries In The World Per Capita” rankings and article, below are “Top Wind Power Countries In The World Per GDP” rankings for total installed wind power at the end of 2012 as well as newly installed wind power during the year 2012. Top … [continued]
The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) recently published its final update of 2012 global wind power installation numbers. As such, I am now able to update my “Top Wind Power Countries” lists. If you’ve been a CleanTechnica reader for awhile, you know that I’m all about looking at relative rankings … [continued]
This article has been reposted from the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland website (image added). Wind energy capacity is growing rapidly in the cold climates of the world. According to the latest forecasts, between 45 and 50 gigawatts of wind energy will be built in cold climates by 2017, which would … [continued]
It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that wind power is growing fast in the United States (and worldwide). Under the Bush administration, a goal of getting 20% of our electricity from wind by 2030 was set and we are currently ahead of schedule on that. However, a lot of people wonder, where are these wind turbines being made? Is this creating jobs in the U.S. or in China?
If you haven’t gotten the picture by now, wind power has been blowing up in recent years and it is expected to continue on that trend for several years to come, at least. Here’s a look at some projections for world wind power, China wind power, India wind power, U.S. wind power, and Europe wind power growth in the coming decades.
