Two recent stories illustrate how far wind power can go in terms of efficiency and mechanics.

First, let’s take a look at what Japanese researchers have come up with.

According to Mother Nature Network, scientists at Kyushu University in Japan have come up with an (more…)

During the first half of 2011, Germany for the first time generated more than 20 percent of its electricity from renewable sources, a new report says.

While the country’s total electricity demand remained stable during the first six months of 2011, the share generated by renewable sources increased from (more…)

Brazil is often associated with ethanol when it comes to alternative energy, but 78 new wind power projects expected to generate around 2,000 MW are starting to make the country’s renewable energy mix a little more varied.

On Monday, Mauricio Tolmasquim, president and (more…)

Wind power is often criticized for the harm wind turbines can cause to birds. Now the American Wind Energy Association has launched a campaign to counter claims that turbines are bird-grinders and that, in fact, wind can be beneficial to wildlife.

“Expanding the use of wind power improves (more…)

Duke Energy has announced its intention to build a large-scale wind farm in Willacy County.

When the 200-megawatt facility comes online, it will generate enough electricity to power roughly 60,000 homes.

Duke Energy’s Los Vientos I wind power project, (more…)

Offshore wind power as an industry is set to undergo intense growth over the next 10-20 years. The EWEA (European Wind Energy Association) has established targets of 40GW of offshore wind power production by the year 2020, and 150GW by 2030. This move towards a European grid represents a (more…)

The offshore wind energy industry is set for a boom over the next ten to twenty years. The UK’s round 3 of offshore development saw the crown estate award licenses to various wind power firms to develop wind farms at several sites around the UK; with the ambitious target of achieving 32GW of power (roughly a quarter of UK (more…)

Charging an electric vehicle with solar or wind power is a renewable energy dream come true. And this is the promise that comes attached with the Sanya Skypump.

The device, a collaboration between Urban Green Energy (UGE) and GE Energy Industrial Solutions, was presented by Inhabitat. In short, it is a solar/wind mix that takes the guilt out of the electric car experience. It combines the GE WattStation (more…)

Offshore wind power is undergoing intense growth in order to meet the European energy targets laid out for 2020. Research and development is being carried out into all aspects of the industry as it attempts to emerge as the main source of renewable energy throughout Europe. (more…)
