Over Two Thousand Wind Turbines 2,020 Clipper Liberty wind turbines, each with a capacity of 2.5 megawatt, will add up to a total of more than 5 gigawatt of

The following day, a White House report on the $ 787 - billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act highlighted how portions of those funds were driving significant progress in reducing the costs of solar power and batteries for electric cars, and in increasing the nation's
renewable energy production capacity.
Furthermore, renewable
energy production capacity has increased, adding 5.5 gigawatts of wind from 2016 - 17, and 9.6 gigawatts of solar capacity in the past three years.
