Wind power accounted for 35% of new power generating capacity in 2007. It won't be long before America overtakes Germany in terms of absolute wind generation capacity. I don't have the data for solar, however, but I believe there are significant strides in that area as well. Well from the article.... Almost five gigawatts of new solar-thermal projects — the equivalent of five big nuclear plants — at various stages of permitting were being held up because of a lack of financing. “All of these projects will now go ahead,” said Woolard. “You are talking about thousands of jobs ... We really got something right in this legislation.” Solar thermal looks like it's getting well established where it makes sense. Distributed solar not so much.
