Reply #35: Generation is in Thousand Megawatthours, not MMWH

[OnlinePoker]

Of that 7,945 TMWH generated in 2007, over half was generated in green house gas producing plants (burning wood waste, landfill gas, and biomass). Only 0.6% of all generation was produced by wind. I'm sure it's somewhat higher with the new wind farms online, but I can't see it making major inroads into the overall generation for some time to come. The problem is, this info is 3 years out of date so we don't know the current status. You would think the EIA would be able to produce data sets more rapidly than that.
