How will King Charles balance his previous high-profile climate activism with the expectation that he will remain politically neutral as head of the Royal Family. So far, he hasn’t stifled his public proclamations about climate pollution significantly.
Floating offshore wind turbines raise the stakes for nuclear energy stakeholders, with shorter construction time from start to finish.
Chaozhou — a city in China’s Guangdong province — has revealed ambitious plans for a 43.3 gigawatt facility in the Taiwan Strait. Operating between 75 and 185 kilometers off the coast of Chiuna, the new offshore wind farm will be 10 kilometers long and feature thousands of powerful turbines. Because … [continued]
The National Offshore Wind Agreement sets industry on a course to build an equitable offshore workforce with family-sustaining careers
Researchers Are Collecting the Most Comprehensive Data on How Winds Move Through Wind Power Plants To Help Design More Efficient Plants and Reduce Wind Energy Costs “Windmills,” Bob Kerr said, “don’t eat.” Through years of drought, Kerr, an Oklahoma cattle rancher and wheat farmer, watched the ponds on his farmland … [continued]
The race is on to prevent catastrophic global warming, and if all goes according to plan, the Danish children’s toy maker Lego can pat itself on the back for lending a hand. Denmark also happens to be the home base of the leading wind turbine manufacturer Vestas, which is taking … [continued]
I expect that when the large oil companies transition into energy companies and buy up all the renewable generation — thus continuing their oligarchy — the FUD will cease around wind turbines. Very few people cared that birds died from the pollution caused by coal-fired power stations, but one sparrow … [continued]
Bird fatalities associated with wind farms has long been a focus area of “concern trolls” who primarily don’t want to see the industry grow.
Re-powering existing wind farms with the latest turbines can increase output by 25% and extend their useful life by a decade or more.
