As per the report from Los Angeles Times, The American Wind Energy Association says China's total capacity to create electricity from its wind turbine installations come to 41,800 megawatts, while American-based turbines can put out 40,180 megawatts. Thus U.S. is behind China in wind power energy

The association said the U.S. wind market ended 2010 with 5,115 megawatts of new installations, just half of the record amount put up in 2009. And as 2011 began, about 5,600 megawatts of wind power capacity was under construction.
To date, 38 U.S. states have built utility-scale wind projects, with Texas at the top with 10,085 megawatts of capacity.
