Wind power in America is growing like the Dubai skyline. T. Boone Pickens hasn't cranked up a single turbine and already another wind energy project promises to surpass his proposal by at least 1,000 megawatts.

Clipper Windpower and BP have entered into a joint venture to build a 5,050 megawatt facility in South Dakota that, when completed, would be the world's largest wind farm. The two partners' 50:50 agreement expands a previously-announced 1,550 MW project.

Called Titan, the ginormous facility will suitably use Clipper's powerful Liberty wind turbines as well, at a hefty 2.5 MW each.

Clipper's current portfolio of projects total 6,500 MW, so this new plan is a big step. James GP Dehlsen, the company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, says the development will power 1.5 million homes and offset 24 billion pounds of CO2.

Clipper appears fond of giving its wind developments noble names such as Endeavor, Victory, and Flying Cloud. The Titan project's previous name was Rolling Thunder, also the name of a Vietnam War bombing campaign. I'm pretty excited about the project, but you guys might want to take it down a notch before people start mistaking your renewable energy sites for domestic military operations.
