According to the 2008 Annual Report from the Commissioner of Public Lands in New Mexico revenues earned from leases for wind, solar, and biomass energy development on trust lands have jumped more than 300 percent. New Mexico is producing 496 megawatts of wind power, but according to the American Wind Energy Association has dropped to twelfth in the nation for installed wind capacity.
Why do you think this is? Is this a bad place for New Mexico to be?

can someone give me a site that has like quotes that will tell you that wind energy is good for IL. And if you have quotes tell me what sites you got the info from. I want the info from reliable sources like American Wind Energy Assocaition(AWEA) and U.S Department of Energy
