U.S. wind energy reaches major milestone

U.S. wind energy installations now exceed 10,000 megawatts (MW) in generating capacity, and produce enough electricity on a typical day to power the equivalent of over 2.5 million homes, the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) announced. A megawatt of wind power generates enough to serve 250 to 300 average homes.
