Wind energy is becoming a key part of America’s renewable future, with over 70,000 turbines operating nationwide.

Meanwhile, North Carolina and Pennsylvania face major shortfalls, needing thousands of additional turbines. Experts emphasize that modernizing existing turbines and expanding adoption are critical next steps for closing the renewable energy gap.
