According to our friends at the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA)—and this isn't just hot air folks—more than $9 billion in investments helped the nation's wind capacity grow by 45 percent in 2007.  

More cheers are in order for Texas once again (go ahead and throw out a random holler; it's really uplifting) as Texas electricity customers can hang our collective hats on the fact that our state continues to lead the rest of the pack in wind energy production. The Lone Star state increased wind capacity by an impressive 57 percent, from 2,768 megawatts to 4,356 in just one year.

Oh and by the way, Texas has more than 1,200 megawatts of wind power in construction. Can I get a booyah?
