Whooping cranes have waged a valiant fight against extinction, but federal officials warn of a new potential threat to the endangered birds. Because wind energy has gained such traction, whooping cranes could again be at risk, either from crashing into the towering wind turbines and transmission lines or because of habitat lost to the wind farms. picked by MandolinOrange 2 years ago

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

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

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

The dam project, which would be located over a gorge at Lake Lagoda in north-west Russia, is believed to be the first of its kind. It will generate renewable energy by funnelling the wind through an attached turbine. picked by wildminou 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

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

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

Wind power generation is expected to be a clean and environmentally friendly natural energy source, but a new kind of environmental problem has surfaced as infrasonic waves caused by windmills are suspected of causing health problems for some people. picked by kakana 5 months ago

Every other news agency on the planet is going for the UFO angle on this story, but there was one lone reported sighting of a tentacle, so that seals the FSM deal for me.

Actual story: Wind turbine has broken, no-one knows why as investigations have yet to be concluded and some people saw some lights. picked by pocksucket 11 months 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

With the power of the wind, a knitting machine knits from the outside towards the inside of the building. The knitted material is harvested from time to time and rounded-off in individually packaged scarves. Each scarf has its own label which tells you in how much time it has been knitted and on which date. picked by suebe 5 months ago
