Map of wind resources in the United States


This map/chart shows its audience where in the United States would benefit or not benefit from having and using wind for energy. The places where it would be beneficial to have wind turbines would be along the Aleutian chain in Alaska, Kodiak, and several islands off of the northwest coast of Alaska.  The places that wouldn’t benefit from this possible alternative source of energy would be Florida, Lousiana, and the other southeastern states.  The chart's key explains what each color represents and how much wind speed power is available in a given location.
