The wind power industry is in a period of significant growth, both globally and in the United States. In the U.S. alone, the wind power market added over 8,300 MW in 2008 of new capacity - 31 percent of the global total - and equating to approximately $17 billion in installation investment. Current projections suggest annual wind capacity additions will increase at more than double the 2008 rate in magnitude within the next 3-5 years.
