USA's Wind Energy Potential Triples in New Estimate

Thanks to new wind energy generation technology, there has been a big jump in the potential of wind energy in this country. Last year 10 gigawatts was installed in the US bringing the total to 35 gigawatts. The newer technology means fewer actual numbers of windmills are needed as compared to what was installed a couple of decades ago.

I'm surprised that northwest Ohio is not considered a good site for wind farms.
