New York has as much wind energy potential as California.
Wind energy is the fastest growing energy technology in the world.
Electricity production from wind power is clean, quiet and efficient and reduces acid rain, mercury, smog and climate change pollutants. Wind energy development is an excellent economic growth strategy for upstate NY, delivering construction jobs, expanding the tax base for municipalities and producing income for farmers and landowners. WPNY is sponsored by a growing partnership of private companies. WPNY seeks to bring the brisk wind development that has occurred nationwide to New York. The surge of installed capacity reflects the growing acceptance of wind across the country, with new wind farms placed in twelve states.
