Wind energy was the source of about 9.2% of total U.S. electricity generation and about 46% of electricity generation from renewable energy in 2021.

@9FDH47X2yrs2Y
Yes, but only it can provide the same level of power as natural gas, oil, and nuclear power.
@95L3M733yrs3Y
No, government should be funding nuclear power
@93GTDDM3yrs3Y
Yes, but we should be prioritizing nuclear power over wind power
@8XC2KWG4yrs4Y
No, but provide incentive for its expansion
@8TMJK5C4yrs4Y
Just give them tax credits
@8TCNPC2Constitution4yrs4Y
No, the government has no business picking winners and losers in the market.

@8PGGKX74yrs4Y

Yes, and nationalize the wind and power industry.
@salazarpeGreen4yrs4Y
