MUNCIE -- The American Wind Energy Association says the state Legislature is on the verge of taking a "solid first step forward" in welcoming the industry to Indiana.
Indiana already ranks 11th in the country in wind power, despite the lack of a state regulation requiring increased production of energy from wind, according to AWEA's latest annual report, released last week.
