At over 114K megawatts in 2014,China far and away leads the
world in wind energy production,thanks to its long coastline and
large land area.

The American wind industry isgrowing at about 25% each year.Even though it accounts for under
5% of energy nationwide, itgenerates over 10% of the energy
in several states.

German wind energy accounts for10% of the world's output, with39,000 megawatts. It has been
making strides in harnessingoffshore wind, and in 2010 opened
its first offshore wind park in theNorth Sea.

Even though Spanish wind energygrowth has leveled off, it stillaccounts for over 20% of the
country's energy output, ahead ofcoal and behind gas and nuclear
energey.

#5INDIANEW KID ON THE BLOCK

Even though wind energy is newthere, India is almost on par with
Spanish wind power capacity.Even though it provides just
under 2% of Indian electricity, it'stotal capacity is expected to
almost triple.
