In a surprise move, one that reverses a decision made by the FAA at an earlier time, a new decision was made about the approved FAA wind turbines, which were scheduled to be erected in the state of Massachusetts. This wind energy story started with a proposal made by the Massachusetts Army National Guard to place 17 wind turbines at the Massachusetts Military Reservation on Cape Cod. At first, eight of the FAA wind turbines were approved, but within a week this decision was reversed and only three of the original eight approved were found to meet standards for FAA wind turbines. According to the agency, the five that were approved and then later denied posed a safety hazard because they would stand 400 feet tall, leading the charge that they were dangerous at over 200 feet to aircraft in the area.

When it comes to renewable energy sources in the US, Texas leads with wind power. In this state wind energy and wind turbines are commonplace, and more than half a million homes are powered with green energy from this source every day. There are a number of these farms and projects, both new and those already established. One of the reasons that texas leads with wind power is that this state has increased their wind energy capacity more than any other state, but that is only one reason. Another is that the state produces more power from wind turbines than any other state in the country. The second largest producer in the country only generates one third of what Texas does with this equipment.
