According to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), a few of the key wind industry’s top accomplishments of 2008 are highlighted below:

• 20% by 2030 Report: In May, the U.S. Department of Energy reported that wind could provide 20% of U.S. electricity by 2030, supporting 500,000 jobs and reducing greenhouse gas emissions as much as taking 140 million vehicles off the road, and saving 4 trillion gallons of water (a 40-year supply for a city with a population of 1.5 million).
• U.S. becomes "Number One" in wind: During the summer of 2008, the U.S. wind industry launched past the 20,000-megawatt (MW) installed capacity milestone, achieving in two years what had previously taken two decades (the 10,000-MW mark was reached in 2006). Also this summer, the U.S. passed Germany to become the world leader in wind generation. By the end of September, the U.S. had over 21,000 MW of wind capacity up and running. With additional projects coming on line every week since, the wind industry is on its way to charting another record-shattering year of growth. That 21,000 MW of capacity will generate over 60 billion kWh of electricity in 2009, enough to serve over 5.5 million American homes and eliminating the burning of:
• 30.4 million short tons of coal (enough to fill two 1,000-mile-long coal trains),
• 91 million barrels of oil per year, or
• 560 Bcf of natural gas (about 9% of the natural gas used for electricity generation).
• A growing national commitment to clean energy: After nearly a year of anticipation and uncertainty, Congress approved a one-year extension of the federal wind energy production tax credit (PTC), which enables utilities, wind energy developers and manufacturers to continue their investments in new wind farm construction in the U.S. The PTC is the main federal policy for encouraging investments in wind. AWEA is committed to working with the new Administration and the 111th Congress to achieve a long-term, full value PTC as a first step toward establishing a long-term, national commitment to developing our homegrown clean energy resources.
