The state of Texas is far and away the leader in wind power generation. When the oil market started to dry up they made a move on wind energy. Generating 9400 MW of wind electricity. The nearest competitor is Iowa with 3600 MW. This means more jobs and more money injected into the economy. It is home to the Roscoe Wind Farm, the largest wind power plant in the world. The farm generates nearly 800 MW of wind power.
Wind power supplies affordable, inexhaustible energy to the economy. It also provides jobs and other sources of income. Best of all, wind powers the economy without causing pollution, generating hazardous wastes, or depleting natural resources—it has no "hidden costs." Finally, wind energy depends on a free fuel source—the wind—and so it is relatively immune to inflation.
