Is there any one who can give this information.
I need to get the wind data for every 5 minutes within US for a year.
Which web site can give me such information?

Graduate Researcher in Wind Integration
Are you interested in becoming an organizer in your area?
Yes
Tell us about your experience with alternative energy:
I have joined US four years ago and having an immense previous worldwide experience in engineering, technology investment.
Beeing an electrical engineer, I have joined the wind industry as a technician. I did realised that I have more to give than beeing a technician. Then I have decided to stop my job and will be completing a master degree in electrical engineering in the second electric power university in US. I will be focusing on Wind Farm designing as I understand that this the future of US. For coming 30 years, Wind should deliver 20 % of electricity in US. That suppose more wind plants, more electric lines, more infrastructure.
The wind industry should be developped within other sources of electric power generation to provide a stable cheap stable source of energy. The developement of wind should suport as well the research on cars using electricity as the big challenge of energy as pertoday is the transptation industry.
What excites you about this campaign?
I have decided to join this campaign to talk to people in US. I can use my experience as Professor of University, International Conference speaker, Investment negociator, Environment protector, Economic Engineer to convice american and get their adhesion to the Wind Industry.
I have skills to talk with Government and show them why wond and how help the wind industry.
I will be talkin to universities to support and introduce the wind power plants in their courses and research. The development of winds all over America is a question to be discussed within the specialist. It has not to a question left at this day in some colleges. The university must follow the society and the society has to help the university stay on the same page. Wind power plant is a multidisciplinary science and we need to get a university school to handle this.
I am ready to start this!
What do you want to do to help?
I will help to make people, government, universities, municipalities adhere to the project.
To implement a wind in a location requires a municipality agreement.
Wind business is as well an global industry. Your movement has not to be local, more wind in Canada, more wind in China, more wind in France will help save the planet!
I have a great experience for beeing in four continents developping engineering business!

Zoning is going to be dependent on state, county and local codes. A company like Tierra Right of Way Services could probably provide information on that for specific projects. The American Wind Energy Association at www.awea.org will have any general information you're looking for.

'Green-collar' jobs a growth area, U.S. group says
Companies are stepping up their environmental initiatives, and that may mean a boom in "green-collar" jobs.
A recent forecast by the American Solar Energy Society found that renewable energy and energy-efficient industries were responsible for the creation of nearly 8.5 million jobs in 2006, and by 2030 that number is expected to reach 40 million.
Colleges and universities are taking notice, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc., a job placement consulting group.
Many have introduced specialized degree programs in eco-commerce, environmental accounting, green and social marketing, and ecological economics.
"The demand for 'green-collar' jobs is really exploding, especially as the cost of energy continues to climb," said John Challenger, the group's chief executive. "Students need to start thinking about developing skills that will give them an edge for these types of careers that did not even exist until recently."
Popular jobs include urban planners, forestry professionals and environmental lawyers, Challenger said. There is also a growing demand for architects and engineers with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit.
