Wind Power

Wind power is arguably today’s fastest growing energy sector.  Wind power is an exciting feature of the quest to produce 20% of all the US electric power needs through renewable sources by the year 2010.  Year 2007 saw the US add more wind power than any other country, putting in a record breaking 5,250 mW.  Asia, Europe, Latin America as well as islands of the world have additionally made large gains in wind power production.

Huge additional growth from wind power production continues to reveal its potential.  Yet in spite of rapid wind power growth the US has only tapped 1.6% of its total potential.  Europe leads and yet has itself only tapped 13% of its potential from wind.  It has been said that if the potential from wind alone in the US in just its 12 windiest states were tapped and the energy stored in the form of hydrogen or another energy fuel, all the electricity needs of the entire country would be met producing an energy independent nation.

Looking to the future, it is projected that the US will consolidate its position as the world’s most active wind market.  Asia, Europe and Latin America show evidence of continued rapid growth as well.  Brewer Energy, with it’s collective ownership in Joshua Tree Wind Farms along with American Environmental Energy, is positioned to move forward decisively in the wind power arena for the benefit of all in general and American Environmental Energy investors specifically.
