Where are the most suitable locations in America to install a wind generator? Which states generate the most wind? Is it worthwhile to install a wind generator on my land? These are questions that many consumers are asking themselves.

If you are planning to install your own wind turbine or wind farm, you must know if the amount of wind in your location is adequate. View a collection of state wind maps located in the U.S. (U.S. Dept of Energy)

Are we utilizing the wind in America anywhere near the potential? How does the U.S. fare compared to other countries?

The United States is starting to gain ground in wind power, but the potential is far greater than what America is investing. This could be better.

And what state is wind power king? That state would be Texas, according to a report prepared by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Iowa is second, and California is third.

For the past two years, Texas has been the top wind producer in the United States, with over 3,953 wind-generated megawatts (MW) installed. (SECO)
