Potential areas for wind farms
The top ten potential states for wind energy are:
State MW of wind turbines WInd power
Texas- 1,901,530 6,527,850
Kansas- 952,371 3,646,590
Montana- 944,004 3,228,620
Nebraska- 917,999 3,540,370
South Dakota- 882,412 3,411,690
North Dakota- 770,196 2,983,750
Iowa- 570,714 2,026,340
Wyoming- 552,073 1,944,340
Oklahoma- 516,822 1,788,970
New Mexico- 492,083 1,644,970
"The annual production of 365 quadrillion Btu (quads) from wind energy would be the energy equivalent of all proven oil and natural gas reserves in the USA."
