Only 2.9%, right now.
solar power comes from the sun and is generated from solar pannals. wind power comes from the wind and is generated from wind mills.
Wind power is generated by the force of wind turning turbine blades. As the blades rotate, they drive a generator to produce electricity. The electricity is then fed into a power grid for distribution.
Hydroelectricity (generated from water), geothermal electricity (generated from the landmass), solar thermal power (generated from the sun) and wind power. (generated from wind)
Currently (2010) around 2.4% This number is increasing yearly because of new installations of wind turbines. These are often constructed in areas with low population density and with high average wind speeds. In 2009 about 1.8 percent of the electricity generated in the United States was generated by wind power. This amount has been increasing by a fraction of a percent each year for the last several years. Texas generates the most power by wind of any state, over 14 billion kilowatt-hours in 2009. Iowa generates the most power by wind as a percentage of all the electricity generated in the state, 14.2% in 2009.
China has the most electrical power generated by wind globally. China has been investing heavily in wind energy development and has the largest installed wind power capacity in the world.
The wind is collected in gigantic windmills which turn and spin to generate power.
Wind power is not generated by countries, it is a global phenomena.

Wind power isn't stored. It is immediately generated into electricity that goes straight into the power lines. This is why there has to be power lines in and area for it to be able to have a wind farm.
Because of alot of high wind in the mountains
Yes, wind power and wind energy are often used interchangeably to refer to the electricity generated from harnessing the power of wind. Wind power is a renewable energy source that comes from converting wind into electricity through wind turbines.
