From MasterResource By Steve Goreham “The green movement calls for a shutdown of coal and gas power plants. At the same time, it demands a switch to electric vehicles, electric…
The fatal flaw is that New York City requires dedicated resources to replace existing generation when it is needed to keep the lights on.
Very strong trade winds developed yesterday, as a large pressure difference (gradient) formed between a strong subtropical high and hurricane Dora to the south.
Wind power, like solar power, is finally cheaper than fossil fuels, but there aren't enough wind farms to supply clean energy to everyone. To combat climate change and complete the sustainable clean energy revolution, the...
Virginia has approved the largest U.S. offshore wind array in spite of cost concerns. State utility regulators approved Dominion Energy's 2.6 GW plan after a suspension last summer caused by "unfeasible" performance guarantees....
Big news in renewable energy production: The world's largest floating wind farm has just successfully produced its first power.[...]
Lower costs, cheaper wind turbines and hurricane safe. That's the future of offshore wind energy promised by SeaTwirl, a company that makes vertical wind turbines. These new turbines have capabilities built into their sturdy...
A Norwegian company wants to help Norway reach its goal of harnessing 30,000 megawatts of offshore wind by 2040 with its new vertical turbines. World Wide Wind claims it has developed a turbine with a maximum output of 40...
Climate models may be underestimating the impact climate change will have on the UK, North America and other extratropical regions due to a crucial missing element, new research has shown.
Siemens Gamesa claims to have created the world's first recyclable wind turbine blades. The RecyclableBlade turbine blades are ready to be used offshore. The new blade design allows the parts and materials to disintegrate...
Tobias Trübenbacher, a design student from Berlin, has created a wind-powered lamp post that uses an integrated wind rotor to generate energy and a motion detection system to create an insect-friendly light spectrum.[...]
A modern problem of the off-grid and outdoorsy lifestyle is how to keep your devices powered. Battery packs are one option, but they have limited use and can be heavy and bulky. The team at Aurea Technologies has come to...
The Biden administration has struck a deal with the Department of Defense to open the California coast to wind power. The coast of California is richly endowed with wind, which can be harnessed for carbon-free energy. The...
Research carried out by Oxford Brookes University has found that vertical turbine designs could make large wind farms more effective. In the study, the researchers compared traditional wind turbines to vertical turbines to...
If you believe that lithium-ion batteries and pumped hydro are the only viable energy-storage options and that long-duration storage technologies are a long way from commercial reality, think again.For instance, UK start-up...
