Deployment
Accelerating the deployment of wind technology is a key goal of the Department of Energy's Wind Program. Wind Powering America is the program's primary deployment initiative.
Wind Powering America 
Wind Powering America is a commitment to dramatically increase the use of wind energy in the United States. This initiative will establish new sources of income for American farmers, Native Americans, and other rural landowners, and meet the growing demand for clean sources of electricity. Through Wind Powering America, the United States will achieve targeted regional economic development, enhance our power generation options, protect the local environment, and increase our energy and national security.
