COMMENTARY     

Ed Peschko
27th January 2006
Note, this isn't truly accurate - the true measure of wind is the amount of energy produced yearly, not the installed capacity. The average utilization factor for the wind listed is about 12% - listing it as above vastly inflates the amount of true wind potential.
