Is Wind Energy Poised To Rebound from Its Sharp Decline Last Year?

Wind EnergyHere’s an article summarizing where the world is with respect to the installation of wind energy.  2013 saw a dramatic decline in the overall implementation of wind, based largely in the U.S., where new installations were down 90% from the previous year.

The real issue, of course, is the whipsawing of federal tax incentives.  If  U.S. law-makers could have some level of stability and predictability, the big players (and the little guys) contemplating clean energy investments would be far more comfortable making commitments than they are now, where this subject is constantly under attack in Congress, and the fossil fuel industry is spending heavily to make sure renewable energy fails.
