==Growth of Wind Power==

* According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the share of U.S. electricity generation from wind grew from less than 1% in 1990 to about 8.4% in 2020. <ref> https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/wind/history-of-wind-power.php </ref> In its Annual Energy Outlook 2021, the U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that the share of renewables in the U.S. electricity generation mix will increase from 21% in 2020 to 42% in 2050. Wind and solar generation are responsible for most of that growth. <ref> https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/aeo/</ref>

* In 2019, wind turbines in [[Iowa]] generated more electricity than the state's coal-fired power plants for the first time. [[Coal]] generated 35% of the state's net electricity, down from 59% five years earlier. During the same period, wind power grew from 29% of the state's net generation to 42% in 2019. <ref> https://www.eia.gov/state/analysis.php?sid=IA</ref>

* [[Texas]] leads the nation in wind-powered generation and produced about 28% of all U.S. wind-powered electricity in 2020. Wind power surpassed the state's nuclear generation for the first time in 2014 and produced more than twice as much electricity as the state's two [[nuclear power]] plants combined in 2020.<ref>https://www.eia.gov/state/?sid=TX</ref>
