The Queen has decided to go green, while relying on the benefits provided by a hydroelectric project worth £1.7 million (€2.03million/$2.65 million), expected to supply the Windsor Castle as well as 300 homes with clean green energy.
It seems that this initiative was announced years ago, but funding was ... |

Siemens knows bigger is always better, when it comes to wind turbines. The company has launched what it likes to call a “different breed of wind turbines, Turbina Sapiens,” aiming to provide more clean wind energy to several eco-conscious European nations.
The main goal of the company is to install 50 g... |

It would appear that, in producing electrical energy, scale is everything. Take the Three Gorges Dam for example, which is the largest hydroelectric power plant in the world. But if all countries would build such structures, then we would soon run out of significant rivers. Many individuals trying to extract energy f... |

Most existing inland and offshore wind farms have accustomed us to a landscape where we see the tall and elongated, three-blade turbines spinning gently into the breeze. This design, coupled with the fact that the entire plant is built in an area prone to intense wind, ensures that the energy output is maximized. Now... |

Shifting wind and varying intensities in the way air hits the blades are just two of the main reasons why wind farms lose a great deal of efficiency and produce current at fluctuating levels. But a new development in turbine blade technology could lead to an increased efficiency, and could finally make the wind a res... |

Everyone knows that hydroelectricity can only be obtained via the use of hard-to-build and expensive water dams, which create a lot of nuisance around them, in that people need to be evacuated from their basins, and the threat of them breaking always hangs over the heads of those living downstream. However, now, near... |
