Wind generated slightly more than 3 percent of total U.S. electricity in the United States during the 12-month period ending in May this year... a decade ago, it was one-tenth that.

Renewable energy sources -- wind, water, solar and others -- passed nuclear generation as a share of U.S. power in September, according to the Energy Information Administration ( Read more... )

Germany set another record with renewable energy.. in the first half of 2011, renewables accounted for fully 20.8 percent of power production... The goal... is to draw at least 35 percent of production from renewables by 2020... opposition parties claim that 40 percent or even more is realistic.

By the end of 2010, wind was 2.3 percent of U.S. electricity, up from 1.8 percent a year ago.

And

Wind equated to fifteen percent of Iowa's electricity in 2010, twelve percent of Minnesota’s, and ten percent of South Dakota’s.

((Flodesign's)) shrouded wind turbine design is expected to deliver more than three times the amount of energy as traditional wind turbines for the same size rotor. The rotors of its turbines are very small in size and they can be easily installed and utilized at places where there is high consumption of power but there is no space for ( Read more... )

"Large scale wind farms are more efficient because power generated is based on the cube of the wind speed and the square of the blade length."

The square of the radius of the blade seems reasonably intuitive,
but the cube of the wind velocity? Wow. That's a hell of a lot
of additional power for a small average increase in wind speed.
