Will Power Laws Determine the Winners in Wind Power?

 From the American Wind Energy Association:

 “Shattering all its previous records, the

U.S. wind energy industry installed 5,244 MW in 2007, expanding the nation’s total wind power generating capacity by 45% in a single calendar year and injecting an investment of over $9 billion into the economy, according to an AWEA market report. This is the third consecutive year of record-setting growth, establishing wind power as one of the largest sources of new electricity supply for the country. The new wind projects account for about 30% of the entire new power-producing capacity added nationally in 2007. The U.S. wind power fleet now numbers 16,818 MW and spans 34 states.”
