North Sea Wind Farm Has Positive Net Impact On Fauna, Researchers Say A North-Sea wind farm has few negative effects on fauna. Most birds avoided the wind turbines, although rotating blades can have a significant disruptive effect on some species of birds. It turns out that a wind farm also provides a new habitat for … Continue reading
A milestone in the history of renewable energy occurred in the year 2008 when more new wind-turbine power generation capacity was added in the U.S. than new coal-fired power generation. The costs of producing power with wind turbines continues to drop, but many engineers feel that the overall design of turbines is still far … Continue reading
Green energy too comes out of the electricity socket, but to get there it has to travel a long journey - from wind turbines in the North Sea or regional solar, wind and biogas power plants. On the way to the consumer lots of energy is lost. New electronic components will change things in future. Cars and trucks race down … Continue reading

Home Wind Power: No More Energy Bills to Pay! Read on to Learn More Over the past years, most people never considered wind power as a serious source of generating energy and electricity, that too, for domestic purposes. In fact, wind was perceived as just another natural phenomenon with very limited usage in life. People … Continue reading
The sky might literally be the limit for wind power — rotors spinning miles high could help supply electricity worldwide. "There is a huge amount of energy available in high-altitude winds," said researcher Ken Caldeira at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology in Stanford, Calif. "These winds blow … Continue reading
Homeowners this fall will be able to buy a wind turbine at hardware stores that tackles the small wind industry's bete noire: slow wind. WindTronics, based in Muskegon, Mich., has developed a wind turbine sized for individual homes that it says can operate at speeds as low as 2 miles an hour. It will be sold for … Continue reading
