Are there wind turbines in every state?
Today, a total of 40 US states, including Hawaii and Alaska, use utility-scale wind farms for electricity generation.

U.S. total production:
2019-generation produced----7.29%, of the WM production towards GWh
2020- generation produced---8.42%, of the WM production towards GWh
2021- generation produced---9.74%, of the WM production towards GWh
Electricity generation with wind
Total annual U.S. electricity generation from wind energy increased from about 6 billion kilowatthours (kWh) in 2000 to about 338 billion kWh in 2020. In 2020, wind turbines were the source of about 8.4% of total U.S. utility-scale electricity generation. Mar 17, 2021

California would have a higher wind capacity except half their turbines are derelict pieces of junk.

Maybe we should get all of our windbag congress critters to talk in the general direction of these wind turbines and increase the the kwh 10 fold.
