China has more installed wind capacity than the next 3 (USA, Germany and India) put together. On a per-capita basis, Denmark has the most wind, with 1,000 watts of capacity per person, and Germany (!!) the most solar at 500 watts per person.
I can't remember where I got the chart below, but it gives you a good idea of just how rapidly wind capacity is growing--23% per annum compound. Because solar is now cheaper than wind, wind capacity growth is likely to slow. But, as I say here, to get to 100% renewable energy by 2040, we only need to grow the percentage generated from renewable energy by 10% per annum.
