Denmark, a world leader in wind energy production and consumption, has built the world’s largest offshore wind park in the North Sea as it aims to generate 75 percent of its electricity needs with wind power by 2025. picked by AutumnLotus 3 years ago

One of wind powers drawbacks is no one wants it to mar their view. They want it to mar someone elses of course. Placing the turbines far off shore could help alleviate the problem. picked by 2manyusernames 1 year ago

John Hutton, Business Secretary has announced plans to build 7000 offshore wind turbine generators in the next 12 years, increasing the amount of energy generated from wind 30 times. picked by pocksucket 2 years ago

The station has offset its electricity with 100 percent certified energy certificates, according to station officials.

That means every bit of power used at the studios on the 2400 block of North First Street in San Jose is replaced on the grid by clean energy created by wind farms. picked by johnnytitan 2 years ago

They used to mine coal Carbon. Now this patch of Wyoming is a battleground in the debate over the clean energy source of the future: wind power.

At the heart of the dispute are plans that conservationists fear could disrupt threatened habitat such as sage brush, a dwindling piece of the region's fragile ecosystem picked by Bingo 4 months ago

Everybody wants to have a cleaner Earth, but few of them take any actions. One of those people is Doug Selsam, who designed high-power wind turbines that can generate enough energy to power a home. The wind turbines measure about 14-18 inches in diameter and they can generate an impressive amount of 200 watts for a 20 mph wind, but the wind turbines could do better if the winds are stronger. picked by sandossu 2 years ago

What's more important to Vermont residents when it comes to the environment? The preservation of their picturesque mountaintops or renewable energy? The plans for windmills may mar the landscape, but perhaps the benefits are far greater. picked by ybne1else 3 years ago

The wind, a favorite power source of the green energy movement, seems to be dying down across the United States. And the cause, ironically, may be global warming - the very problem wind power seeks to address. picked by kakana 6 months ago

Other countries have unveiled plans recently for large-scale renewable energy projects, but the U.S. has some impressive projects of its own. Trade Wind Energy is planning a very ambitious wind farm in Iowa. One that will cost $1.5 billion and, when completed, will generate 500 MW of energy. picked by D8493001LL 11 months ago

Hydrogen generators can be used for clean energy and used in all sorts of applications including automotive, backup power, industrial and even for large power plants. picked by hydrokevin 2 years ago

T. Boone Pickens, a man who made his fortune in oil-soaked rocks, is now looking at Alberta's windy hills for another investment. picked by chinook 5 months ago

Northern Ireland’s potential to lead the way on green power could be threatened by fears of health dangers to people living near wind turbines.
Dr Nina Pierpoint has warned that living too close to wind turbines can cause heart disease, tinnitus, vertigo, panic attacks, migraines and sleep deprivation in groundbreaking research due to be published later this year. picked by Bingo 4 months ago

It turns out wind power, solar power and lunar power are not the only possible renewable energy sources for our future. Dirt power might be next. picked by Bornbad 1 year ago

There is tremendous energy locked up in even the gentlest of waves. Harnessing that energy has been wrought with problems. A new and simple device invented in the UK make make it a lot easier and lot less expensive to utilize that boundless energy. picked by 2manyusernames 1 year ago

As the sizes of sensor networks and mobile devices shrink toward the microscale, and even nanoscale, there is a growing need for suitable power sources. Because even the tiniest battery is too big to be used in nanoscale devices, scientists are exploring nanosize systems that can salvage energy from the environment. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

"In a revolutionary leap that could transform solar power from a marginal, boutique alternative into a mainstream energy source, MIT researchers have overcome a major barrier to large-scale solar power: storing energy for use when the sun doesn't shine." picked by ybcool 1 year ago

A British engineer has smashed the world land speed record for wind powered vehicles, becoming the fastest naturally powered human on the planet. picked by topofall 8 months ago

A man had to deliver some sand.

Unfortunately there were power lines in the way.

Fortunately his truck fit under the power lines.

Unfortunately he raised the back of the dump truck, hit the power lines, and set his truck on fire.

Fortunately he was already at the fire station.

Unfortunately they had to watch the truck burn for 45 minutes until the power could be shut off. picked by Fanatic 3 years ago

I didn't know there were so many ways to try to get energy from waves. There are a couple of videos showing how some of the systems work. picked by JFargo1688 11 months ago
