Germany Sees Its First Offshore Commercial Wind Farm, Baltic 1
Germany was recently at a crossing point between 2 options: going ahead with nuclear energy or turning to green resources. Fortunately, the nation learned its lesson from the Fukushima disaster and chose to go green instead, forcing authorities to take notice.
Global Warming Won’t Change Wind Power Potential, Indiana Researchers Say
Wind power is the most use form of clean energy that nations around the world are now harnessing as one of their most valuable asset. It has been speculated, though, that power extracted from wind will decrease while global temperatures will rise during the next decades. A study performed by Indiana University Bloomington researchers proves this theory is wrong, and encourages decision makers to pursue their existing plans.
$1.5 Million Paid to UK Wind Power Companies for Extra Electricity They Haven't Delivered
Usually, one man's garbage is another man's gold, as they say. The rule does not always stand up when the latter pays 20 times more than he should, and there's so much of it that it can't be carried from one to another. That's the case with some Scottish wind farms that just provided too much energy and had to be disconnected recently, but the wind power companies had to be paid anyway.
Blimp Wind Turbine Can Generate Power at 2000 Feet Above the Ground
As you may know, many people became experts in generating wind power in recent years. Even so, they are still searching for more powerful, more consistent winds. For this purpose, some graduates from MIT came up with a new concept: if we can produce wind power on the ground, why not try to do the same thing in the air?
China’s Wind Industry to Become a Leader In The Field
Progress also means failure and challenges also mean new solutions. This about resumes China's struggles with its developing wind industry, although efforts to make it efficient are currently under way.
First Offshore Wind Farm in the U.S. To Start Construction This Fall
Every project has a good side and a downside. In the case of the first American offshore wind farm, these sides seem equal. The construction of the facility is expected to begin this fall in Nantucket Sound, Massachusetts, upsetting locals and high personalities.
$500 Million Invested by Google & Japanese Companies in Oregon Wind Farm
Frequent readers of this site may recall another article being posted about Google's investment in solar power plants in the Mojave Desert. And you may also recall their vow to look out for more ways to obtain clean, renewable energy. Well, it looks like they're bound to their word. Next on G's "to do" list is the Shepherds Flat Wind Farm in Oregon, U.S.
Uruguay Set to Start Construction of 50 MW Wind Power Plant
With the help of Spanish company Abengoa, which has now been present in the country for more than 30 years, Uruguay will have a 50 MW wind power plant right in its center, in the village of Peralta, Tacuarembó.
BP Wind Energy to Build 150MW Wind Farm in Texas
By the end of the year, we expect to see a new wind farm in Texas, USA, according to global brand BP Wind Energy. In a way, this is the company's "baby," because it is entirely owned and operated by them.
Germany Replaces Nuclear Power Plants With Wind Turbines
Apparently, Japan has opened many eyes regarding the risks of nuclear energy to the world: first China, now Germany. In the aftermath of the Japan disaster, the German government decided to reexamine the 17 nuclear reactors, while Chancellor Angela Merkel insists on doing away with the power plants quicker.
