Wind energy policy mostly comes from a state level due to the limited access to relevant federal incentives. [citation needed] Most states in the US have energy policies to help support wind energy development. State policies offer incentives and tax credits for both producers and consumers to make wind energy more affordable.
The commission estimates that about 17,000 Michigan acres are now used for wind and solar projects and close to 210,000 more acres could be needed to meet the new goals, Scripps told the Senate ...

Colorado has the potential to install 387,220 MW of wind power generating capacity according to a 2010 U.S. DOE study. [8] The graphs below show the growth in the installed capacity (measured in megawatts (MW) along with the growth in the actual electrical energy produced (measured in gigawatt-hours (GW·h) within the state for more than the past decade.
An Associated Press analysis of county tax data from local governments in Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska — states either with many wind farms or a high potential for wind power — found wind ...
The 2011 NREL report, Large-Scale Offshore Wind Power in the United States, analyzes the current state of the offshore wind energy industry. According to the report, offshore wind resource development would help the country to achieve 20% of its electric power from wind by 2030 and to revitalize the manufacturing sector.
