California No Longer Tops In Wind Energy.

Texas has passed California as the top producer of wind energy in the United States. California, which had held the title since 1981, has a production capacity of 2,323 megawatts, 47 megawatts fewer than Texas's capacity of 2,370.

California officials shrugged off the development, noting that in 2005 nearly 11% of California's overall energy production came from renewable sources.
