					<description><![CDATA[<p>One of the main environmental impacts of wind farms is that birds get killed when they collide with turbine rotors. This becomes even more serious when the wind farms are located within the distribution range of bird species already endangered or threatened with extinction. This is the case, for example, of the Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagles, [&#8230;]</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>According to a Karlsruhe Institute of Technology&#8217;s researchers, climate change poses a big challenge for wind energy production in Europe. They have used spatially and temporally highly resolved climate models. The results have shown that stronger seasonal fluctuations and a more frequent occurrence of low wind are expected. However, only a slight change will happen. [&#8230;]</p>

It offers a total levelized price of $65 per megawatt-hour. The price is astonishing, it is 18 percent cheaper than other alternatives and much cheaper than other offshore wind&#8217;s costs. For instance, the cheapest US [&#8230;]</p>

A study conducted by a team of scientists from Stanford University, established that the U.S. can go 100% renewable if everything- homes, cars, factories, etc., runs on electricity.

Renewable energy generation continues to expand, from residential solar power installations to off-shore wind power, to the point where some locations could even eliminate their dependency on fossil fuels, if not for one little problem.

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Contrary to popular belief, wind power is the cheapest energy option across the globe. In fact, last year, the US installed more wind power capacity than capacity from any other energy source. The news comes from a recent report prepared by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and released by the US Department of Energy (DOE), which [&#8230;]</p>
