Kentucky environmental lawyer Sanders says Kentucky lacks natural wind resources to develop wind energy, as DOE map clearly shows.

After reaching 1,000 MW of wind energy in 1985, it took more than a decade for wind to reach the 2,000-MW mark in 1999. Since then, installed capacity has grown to 26,274 MW (as of January 31, 2009). Today, U.S. wind energy installations produce enough electricity on a typical day to power the equivalent of more than 6.5 million homes.
