The United States of America was once on the leading edge of renewable energy generated from wind power. Now it seems this drive is starting to blow itself out. Last year, 2009, the USA installed a quite massive 9.8 GigaWatts of wind generating capacity. In 2010 this may drop to just 7 GigaWatts of new installations. It is not clear [...]

The Indian Mobile Phone company Airvoice Group and the public sector body Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam have joined in a venture to use Wind Energy and Solar Power to produce 13GW of power  in India. Karnataka district located in the southwest of India is the region for the development. Using multiple sites for the development  project aims to produce up [...]

Renewable energy generated from wind power is increasing each year with some areas of the world developing this resource faster than others. The United States of America is out in the lead with a total wind capacity of  35.2 Gigawatts of installed wind turbines. Around 10 GW of that was installed last year. Second place goes to Germany with 25.8 [...]

Wind Turbines have been sprouting up around the country like massive weeds. There is no doubt that these can be an eyesore if done on a large scale and environmental impact can be massive both to the land and wildlife. But with proper consultation, suitable areas can be found and be much more beneficial. Domestic wind turbines, much smaller than [...]

The US department of the interior recently stated that Wind Turbines off the coast of the USA could produce enough electricity to meet the whole country’s needs.  Which is probably true, with enough offshore wind farms around the coast this is theoretically possible. Creating forest of windmills does have its downsides, rushing in on an idea is always going to [...]
