Renewables are a solid bet in the development of a coal-free society. Even if the role of wind farms has been underestimated by skeptics, claiming that their power is unreliable and cost-inefficient, while wind turbines are ugly and represent a mere 'fairytale,' they are still installed all across the Globe... |

A researcher from Case Western Reserve University thinks he has found a new key element aiming to revolutionize wind power industry. He has come up with a lighter, stronger turbine blade prototype.
Even though wind turbines provide an effective, safe method of producing clean energy, they have a few disadvantages ... |

A user published images allegedly obtained as a result of hacking a wind turbine administration system on a public mailing list, but subsequent investigations from the security community suggest a hoax.Someone using the online moniker "Bgr R" sent an email containing details of the supposed hack to the Full Security ... |

A Canadian company may have developed a prototype for a new generation of wind turbines. Rather than relying on complex gearboxes to convert wind energy into electricity, the new design, of which a scale model has already been built, makes use of friction forces to do exactly the same thing. The innovation, if applic... |

The new wind farm, one of the largest in the United States, is scheduled to be completed sometime in 2012 and will by then be one of the largest such installations in the world. It will be more than 7.5 times larger in production capacity than the biggest wind farm in Africa, a French-financed project in Ethiopia. Wi... |

Noise has always been the main obstacle in the wide-scale implementation of personal wind turbines on private homes. The high number of decibels didn't allow for too much sleep at night, and that was coming from just one turbine. A whole block of them, and there wouldn't have been any more windows. But now,... |

New researches conducted on the impact wind turbines have on biodiversity proved that the European Commission has nothing to worry about. Farm birds are not about to be decimated by the turbines, as doom-sayers “foretold.” The findings are actually quite important, as the Commission has plans of supp... |

Think of a conventional wind turbine. You will most likely imagine a giant platform towering several tens of meters in the air on which a 15 meter long blade spins wildly. It doesn't seem to be very practical, does it? That's because it's not. The solution may be in scalable wind turbine designs, which... |
