The wind Industry roaring down the Plains with the goal to meet 20 percent of the nation's power generation by 2030.
Quote:
Installations of 8,300 megawatts last year brought the U.S. wind capacity to 25,170 megawatts.

Yet, in the first quarter this year, 2,800 MW have been installed — more than a fourth of all installed last year.


The state Department of Commerce expects the wind industry to create almost 7,000 jobs within the next five years and 18,000 by 2020 — most coming from the state manufacturing sector.


Those jobs are expected to create $1.46 billion in personal income to be created. Total economic activity will be greater than $2.48 billion.

Excellent news! Let's hope.

I wonder? Unforseen consequences? For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. What effects could thousands of square miles of turbines have on wind & weather pattrens?
