Where is the wind?

Where can I find information regarding locations where wind is adequate for generation? To start with, I am specifically interested in Frio County and Brewster County, Texas, where we have land.

Here are three links to get you started. However, be aware that there are more issues than simply generation potential. Transmission is also a big problem.

If induction generator is used, reactive power supply can be done through capacitors and hence there would be no need of grid.
