North Sea Wind Power Hub: A giant wind farm to power all of north Europe The harnessing of energy has never been without projects of monolithic scale. From the Hoover Dam to the Three Gorges—the world’s largest power station—engineers the world over have recognised that with size comes advantages. The trend is clear within the … Continue reading North Sea Wind Power Hub: A giant wind farm to power all of north Europe
Even as Wind Power Rises, It Falls Under a Political Cloud Wind farms, with their rapid geographic spread and technological advances, are reshaping the electric system, defying skepticism that they are steady or reliable enough to displace conventional power plants. “The fuel of choice right now, certainly for us, is wind,” said Ben Fowke, the … Continue reading Even as Wind Power Rises, It Falls Under a Political Cloud
OKLAHOMA is kicking butt with wind power Just over 6,600 megawatts of installed wind power capacity exists in the Sooner State – enough to meet about 25% of the state’s annual electricity needs – more than what coal provides. Oklahoma installed nearly 2,000 megawatts in 2016 alone. By the end of the year, Oklahoma became … Continue reading OKLAHOMA is kicking butt with wind power
Wind power surpasses hydro as top source of renewable energy American wind power just achieved its second strongest quarter ever for newly installed energy generating capacity according to a new report released today by the American Wind Energy Association. Wind power surpassed hydropower dams to become the largest source of renewable electric capacity in the … Continue reading Wind power surpasses hydro as top source of renewable energy
Wind Power Blows Through Nuclear, Coal as Costs Drop at Sea Water and electric power plants don’t mix well naturally, unless you add some wind. Water tends to corrode and short out circuits. So what’s happening in the the renewable energy industry, where developers are putting jumbo-jet sized wind turbines into stormy seas, is at … Continue reading Wind Power Blows Through #Nuclear, Coal as Costs Drop at Sea
Wind power is an attack on rural America Urban voters may like the idea of using more wind and solar energy, but the push for large-scale renewables is creating land-use conflicts in rural regions from Maryland to California and Ontario to Loch Ness. Since 2015, more than 120 government entities in about two dozen states … Continue reading Wind power is an attack on rural America
U.S. Grid can Handle More Offshore Wind Power and Reduce Pollution, Say Researchers The scientists discussed with PJM Interconnection, a grid operator supplying electricity to over 60 million people in 14 states, to make a computer model to simulate how the electric grid would respond to wind power injections from offshore wind farms along the … Continue reading U.S. Grid can Handle More Offshore Wind Power and Reduce Pollution, Say Researchers
Ikea Acquires Canadian Wind Farm On the Quest Toward Energy Independence Ikea is a trailblazer when it comes to investing in solar and wind power projects — and spent big on renewables even before they became cost-competitive with fossil fuels. Already claiming to be the largest retail wind power investor in Canada, Ikea boosted its … Continue reading #Ikea Acquires Canadian Wind Farm On the Quest Toward Energy Independence
Wind power prospects may hinge on gas price, government Fresh government support and growing interest from the utility industry is building expectations that wind power will thrive in the U.S. in coming years. Among the latest such assessments is a new report from Fitch Ratings, which sees the industry steadily expanding its share of the … Continue reading Wind power prospects may hinge on gas price, government
