Booming Wind Industry Creating American Jobs

摘要

The new green economy is expected to decrease the billions of dollars spent each year on foreign oil, reduce carbon emissions and create millions of new jobs for Americans. While solar energy is promising, wind energy is booming.rnLast year, the U.S. wind industry broke a record by installing 8,358 megawatts (MW) of new capacity, bringing our nation's total wind energy capacity to 25,170 MW. By doing so, the United States took the global lead from Germany, which finished second (23,903 MW at end of 2008).
