GE's wind division is chugging along.

General Electric has received orders for 2,400 megawatts of new wind power capacity worldwide so far this year, an amount that should generate $2 billion in revenue, or 300 percent more than during its first-year of wind operations in 2002. The company has received orders for 1,600 wind turbines, 1,100 of which (1,650 megawatts) will be in the United States. Wind power is "the fastest growing segment of the global energy industry," says Mark Little, vice president of power generation at GE Energy.
