He began with a statistic that
wind power was # 1
in new US electric generation
capacity last year.
Even amid policy uncertainty
in major
wind power markets,
wind developers still managed to set a
new record for installations
in 2012, with 44,000 megawatts of
new wind capacity worldwide.
Indeed, as the European Union actually saw net reductions
in coal and nuclear generating
capacity in 2009,
wind accounted for close to 40 percent of all newly installed
capacity, making it the region's number one
new power source for the second straight year.
The Utilipoint article apparently was stimulated by the recent announcement of FPLEnergyís intention to add more windmill
capacity and, particularly, its plan to build a 204 MW «
wind farm»
in New Mexico and sell the
power to Public Service Company of
New Mexico.

The projects
in the pipeline had enough momentum to carry development into 2012 when $ 1.6 billion was invested and 823 MW of
wind power was installed, but since 2013 there has been essentially zero investment and no
new wind capacity installed
in the state.
State renewable portfolio standards require utilities to bring
new renewable
capacity onto their grids no matter how much it depresses markets, and renewable subsidies further erode electricity prices, especially
in Midwestern states where subsidized
wind farms bid very low — even negative — prices for their
power.

While spending on renewable
power capacity was flat between 2011 and 2015, electricity generation from the
new capacity rose by one third, reflecting the steep cost declines
in wind turbines and solar PV.
Over the past few years,
wind, solar, and natural gas have made up nearly all
new electric generating
capacity in the U.S. And earlier this year,
wind energy surpassed conventional hydropower to become the country's largest renewable resource, with enough installed to
power 25 million homes.
Wind power capacity edged out coal for the first time in the Texas history last week after a new 155 - megawatt wind farm in Scurry County came onl

New wind power projects contributed roughly 25 % of the new nameplate capacity added to the U.S. electrical grid in 2010, compared to 42 % in 2009, 43 % in 2008, 34 % in 2007, 18 % in 2006, 12 % in 2005, and less than 4 % from 2000 through 2

Huge
new wind farms accounting for thousands more megawatts of
capacity are
in development as we speak, and estimates put 20 percent of the nation's electricity coming from
wind power by 2030 [source: The Oregonian].
On the other side,
wind power, which use to more than double solar's
new installed
capacity each year before 2011, has been slowing down
in Europe, the U.S. and China,
in good part because of lack of clarity on energy policy.
