The United States jumped the world's largest wind power country

Global Wind Energy Association (GWEC) 2 Day said that the global wind energy in the 28.8 percent surge in 2008, when the end of last year, the global wind power capacity has increased to 120.8GW (1 GW for the 10 billion watts), especially in the United States and China fastest growing. However, Germany's total wind power generating capacity ratio, is still far higher than the United States.



Climate change concerns with the countries interested in renewable energy to last year's global wind power28.8%, the installation of wind turbines as high as the market value of 36.5 billion euros (47.5 billion U.S. dollars).



GWEC the Secretary-Generalsaid: "The figures will speak, not emissions from all over the world on wind power at the huge demand. Wind energy is the only way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions of wind power generation technology."



8.35GW of the United States last year, new wind power capacity, the original production capacity of up to 50% of total production capacity now has reached 25.1GW, accounting for one fifth of the global wind power generation, and has gone beyond Germany's 23.9GW, to become the world's first strong wind power .



China last year about 6.3GW of new wind power generation capacity, wind power capacity doubled to 12.2GW, this year's production capacity is expected to increase nearly twice as likely. China and stepped up production of wind turbines and gradually with the current masters of the wind energy market rival European manufacturers.


If this pace of development, China in 2010 will exceed that of Germany and Spain, to become the world's second largest wind power country.



Europe last year 8.9GW wind power capacity, most areas areAmong them, Germany, Spain, Italy, France and Britain the fastest growing
