Abstract

Along with environmental deterioration and scarce of traditional energy sources, clean and renewable energies are becoming more and more important. As the second largest clean energy source, wind energy account for a big proportion of renewable energy. However, current wind energy production is not enough for us to promote energy transition. Traditional energy, fossil fuels, still dominate the energy market. We urgently need further development in the wind energy industry to meet our demand of renewable energy. US wind production has huge investment support and significant development these years, but the supply chain is very weak, and the policy is unstable. This paper introduces US current situation of the wind energy and describes the further development prospect by using SWOT analysis.
