That represents a decrease in
wind energy installations overall when compared to the 10 gigawatts that were installed in 2009 in the U.S., and the 8 gigawatts in 2008.
The region is also a major
energy producer, the source of 75 % of the state's oil production and 65 % of its gas production.18 Kern County is the third most productive oil - producing county in the U.S., 19 accounting for one - tenth of overall U.S. oil production and three of the five largest U.S. oil fields.20 Kern is also home to the world's second largest onshore wind farm, the Alta Wind Energy Center, 21 and construction is underway there on what will be the world's largest solar PV installation, at Antelope Val
