Wind Energy Stocks - Are there any?

Since I posted the list of solar energy stocks a few days ago, I have come up with a list of wind energy stocks per requests from readers. The following are a list of the pure plays and semi-pure plays in the wind energy field. Companies which have a very small portion of their business in wind were excluded (e.g. GE, FPL, TXU). The list shows the name of the company, the stock market symbol, what exchange the stock is traded on, and their business. Some of these stocks are very speculative and none are recommendations.
