The U.S. Energy Information Administration publishes data on U.S. electricity generation in the Short Term Energy Outlook.
If you have been following the news on Energy.gov, you may already know that 2011 was a banner year for the American wind industry. What you might not know is that the amount of electricity generated by the wind industry started to grow back around 1999, and since 2007 has been increasing at a rapid pace.
The growth of clean wind energy is great for American manufacturers -- 70 percent of the equipment installed at U.S. wind farms last year came from domestic manufacturers, doubling from 35 percent in 2005.
The data for this graph is provided by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. You can create your own charts and graphs based on the Short Term Energy Outlook using their Custom Table Builder.
