World generating
capacity is now over 27,000,000 kw. Global capacity grew
by 28.8% last year. This is a 36% increase over 2007. The USA
became # 1 in wind power generation! New USA wind energy
installations totaled 8,358,000 kw. This is an increase of 50%
over all prior installations.
The $4,000.00 limit on the
Federal Tax Credit for small wind installations has been removed in
the recently passed stimulus package. This year small wind (100
kw and less) will do even better.
