Less then ZERO-ng- As it turns out George Carlin had wind power covered: youtube.com What percentage of electricity in the US is produced by wind power? In: Wind Power [Edit categories] Renewable Energy Systems Stay Up to Date w/ Latest Renewable Energy Techniques and Technologies. MassSave.com/Professional [Improve] Currently around 1% This number is high only because we ignore the idling fossil fuel plants that are behind these wind systems. If we include this power that is just lost, we have negative power introduction. They never produce enough power to build another system. They are never a positive power item on any grid, in the larger picture, when idling plants (which MUST be in place due to many of winds limitations) is factored in. In 2009 about 1.8 percent of the electricity generated in the United States was generated by wind power. This amount has been increasing by a fraction of a percent each year for the last several years. Texas generates the most power by wind of any state, over 14 billion kilowatt-hours in 2009. Iowa generates the most power by wind as a percentage of all the electricity generated in the state, 14.2% in 2009.
