Milestone: 10 Gigawatts of Solar Panels in 2010, Part 2 The wind industry installed 27 gigawatts in 2008, 38 gigawatts in 2009 and has a total installed base of more than 158 gigawatts compared to PV's installed base of about 20 gigawatts. 2010 will see more than 200 gigawatts of installed wind and the Global Wind Energy Council expects that to double to 400 gigawatts by the end of 2014. Boy that paragraph just JUMPS out at me. Solar is the glamor boy in Alt Energy but wind is doing the heavy lifting. 20X as much. Probably the most enlightening post I've seen here in some time. My guess is that most casual investors (much less the general public) would not have a clue as to how much more Wind is being installed vs Solar. Heck I would not have guessed that and I sit here and read about this stuff every day. I love to find this kind of general misconception. There are multiple high profile Solar companies to invest in but only one wind company (AMSC) in my bag of interests. _______ Which wind companies are interesting to those here? Who has any kind of interesting advantage? Other than AMSC the wind companies I know about are not specific enough.
