BISMARCK, ND (2008-03-04) The state Public Service Commission says wind power is growing rapidly in North Dakota.

"I think it goes to show some of our worst wind resources are better than most of the wind resources in the rest of the country," said Commissioner Tony Clark. "You look at the southeastern states, and one of the reasons they've been opposed to a national renewable standard is they don't have anything anywhere that approaches what we have here."

Commissioners also credit the federal credit on wind power, as well as state incentives.
