“The foundation is being laid for the emergence of both wind and solar cells as cornerstones of the new energy economy. World wind generating capacity grew from 7,600 megawatts in 1997 to 9,600 in 1998, an expansion of 26 percent. At a national level, Germany led the way, adding 790 megawatts of capacity, followed by Spain with 380 megawatts, and the United States with 226 megawatts. In the past, U.S. wind generating capacity was concentrated in California, but in 1998, wind farms began generating electricity in Minnesota, Oregon, and Wyoming, broadening the new industry's geographical base.” WorldWayStatesPastEnergyLevelsUnitedUnited StatesEconomyWindGrewIndustryPercentCapacityFoundationCellsAlternativesCaliforniaGermanyFarmsExpansionElectricitySpainEmergenceCornerstonesMinnesotaOregonWyomingNew EnergyWind FarmsSolar Cells Author:Lester R.
