New England Wind Forum. A Wind Powering America Project. Volume 1, Issue 1, January 2006.

DE2006875325

Publication Date	2006
Page Count	16
Abstract	New England is the birthplace of the U.S. wind power industry and home to a number of wind industry firsts, including the first large-scale electricity-producing windmill and the world's first wind farm. Today, wind power is the fastest-growing energy source in the country and the world. In New England, wind energy is poised to help diversify the region's electricity supply mix, reducing the energy dependence of a region that is traditionally a major energy importer. A new wave of development activity, including traditional wind farms, community-scale development, and efforts to tap the world-class winds off our shores, is underway throughout the region.
