Thankfully, as the author points out, "more and more equipment [wind turbines] is being manufactured in the U.S. Where 70% of wind power equipment used to come from Europe just a few years ago, it 's down to about 50% today."
Denmark and Germany have been the leaders in building wind turbines for years, and it's a positive development that US companies are getting into the market, especially since shipping the parts for those big things is costly.
What needs to also happen is some type of support and/or equal playing field for smaller-scale wind farms that help rural communities, as is discussed in this related article (HERE).
