[ZeroHedge] Wind power is the most productive renewable energy source in the U.S., generating nearly half of America’s renewable energy.
| Later in the article it is revealed that wind power provides nearly half of the renewable energy created in the U.S., that is to say 8.4% of the total. And Texas produces more wind energy than any other state, which is why they had that long power outage when it got so cold the wind turbines froze. |
But, as Visual Capitalist's Niccolo Conte details below, wind doesn’t blow fairly across the nation, so which states are contributing the most to U.S. wind energy generation?
This map uses data from the EIA to show how much wind electricity different U.S. states generate, and breaks down wind’s share of total electricity generation in top wind power producing states. |
