This article from the John Birch Society tells you what you want to hear.

OTOH, an article this morning at Fuel Fix points out that the US led the world in adding windpower in 2012.

40% of the new power capacity added in the US during 2012 was wind. 32% was nat gas, and the remainder was coal, nuke and other renewables.

That is not a good thing!

Wind power adds nothing to our generating capacity, because when we add wind capacity we have to add an equal amount of conventional back-up for it to be reliable; wind just doesn’t blow consistently. Wind power is foolishness unless it is used to lift pumped storage. JBS speaks the truth that you don’t want to hear. They’ve been doing that for 55 years without a single error.

And your point would be what?

I suspect that is 40% of squat. Given the current administration, very little new capacity was added. Just another repeat of the failed Carter administration.

“After CEO Bob Dudley announced that BP was abandoning the solar market last month, the oil giant will be selling its $3.1 billion worth of wind assets in the United States, as reported by Bloomberg.”
