WIND TECHNOLOGY DRIVING WIND GROWTH
Turbine Tech Advances Played Key Role In U.S. Wind Power Growth, Cost Decline
March 14, 2014 (North American Windpower)
“…[O]ver the past five years, U.S. wind energy capacity grew from 25 GW to over 61 GW, a 140% growth rate, yet electricity generated from these wind turbines grew at a rate of 200%, exceeding capacity growth and making wind energy cheaper than ever…[T]he increasing performance and production of wind turbines is the result of technological innovation and operational improvements [allowing taller towers and longer blades], which have effectively driven down the costs and allowed development to occur in lower wind speed regions…” click here for more
