Wind Energy Industry Applauds U.S. Senate Passage of Renewable Energy Credits

Wind Energy Industry Applauds U.S. Senate Passage of Renewable Energy Credits: "the wind industry is on its way to charting another record-shattering year of growth.

560 Bcf of natural gas (about 9% of the natural gas used for electricity generation)."
