Those who have a few minutes to spare and also happen to be fans of clean energy will be glad to hear that, with the help of the US Geological Survey (USGS), they can pass the time stalking wind farms currently operating across the country's territory.

Thus, the USGS has recently released an interactive map that shows some 47,000 wind turbines that are now up and running in this part of the world.

According to Tree Hugger, the map was pieced together using information obtained with the help of the Federal Aviation Administration and high-resolution aerial imagery.

When exploring it, one can zoom in or zoom out. Besides, the map provides information concerning the size and electricity output of the wind farms it documents.

In case anyone was wondering, the wind farms included in this project are the ones built in the United States by July 2013.

Head over to USGS if you feel like checking out this interactive map.
