This is the most recent wind maps for the USA. The northern tier of states in the Midwest carries the best performance for wind.

Partnered (click here) with AWS Truepower,  the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the Energy Department’s Wind Program released maps in December 2014 that highlight the potential for wind energy development using more advanced wind turbine technologies with higher hub heights of 110 and 140 meters. The resource potential maps show that as wind turbine technology advances and can be installed at higher hub heights, areas with previously limited wind resources–such as the southeastern United States–have the opportunity to add new wind power capacity using taller utility-scale wind energy technologies....

The Midwest and East have the second best performance in wind potential. While the West Coast is ranked behind the rest of the country, it is still a viable wind option.

Latham-based alternative energy company AWS Truepower (click here) is part of a consortium that is looking how to best harvest energy from winds sweeping in from the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Long Island.
AWS Truepower will be helping to analyze wind speed data being collected by Deepwater Wind, a Rhode Island-based company that is studying a potential 210-megawatt wind farm — the equivalent of about half of a traditional fossil-fuel power plant — in the ocean off Montauk at the eastern tip of Long Island. The turbine project is among proposals being considered by the Long Island Power Authority....

AWS is considered a professional consulting firm. They have held a recent meeting for interested parties to investment. This is from Bloomberg.
