China overtook the U.S. at adding the most wind energy capacity annually, by building 13.8 gigawatts of capacity in 2009 vs. 10 GW here, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Still, the 10 GW the U.S. added last year represented a 40 increase from 2008's new capacity. The U.S. has the most total wind energy capacity in the world with 35.2 GW vs. No. 2 China with 25.8 GW.

The U.S. solar power industry added just 481 megawatts of capacity last year.
