The current NG prices vary around the country:

Although the Agency does not yet put out a weekly report on renewable energy, it does provide a wind map of the country that I have already used (the second of the two following). They are based on ranking available wind power in one of 7 categories:

If there is no color then the wind has no value. Normally it has to be over 3 to be useful. In one map they look at Federal Land and its potential (the grey is Federal land, the blue and pink are areas with suitable wind within 20 miles of a power line but rated relative to whether they are (blue) or are not (pink) on Federal land.).

While a more generalized wind map, from the NREL, would give:
