FRENCHGLEN, Ore. — Ruggedly beautiful Steens Mountain stands in an area of southeast Oregon so isolated that it's barely changed since cattle king Pete French arrived in the late 1800s. Coyotes yelp at sundown. Drivers are so few that they wave to each other as they pass. Campers, hunters and bird-watchers trek from across the state to breathe in the majestic emptiness and to gaze from the Steens summit across a seemingly endless tapestry of high desert and open range. The scenery will ... Read More

Wind power on the rise, China taking the lead again! China has added thirteen thousand MW of wind energy capacity in 2009, accounting for just over a 3rd of the 37,466 MW added in the year. India occupied the 5th slot in capacity addition during 2009. According to the Global Wind Energy Council, wind energy capacity grew by 31 % in the year, taking installed capacity to 157,899 MW. The change in energy policies and energies role in economic recovery ... Read More

Approximitely fifty farmers and property owners from northwards Benton County  are considering to bring a 300 megawatts wind farm onto their twelve thousand acres. The idea is spearheaded by dairy and chicken farmer Mark Chamberlin, who has been looking at the possibility for over 5 years. Wind levels are substantial in northwards Benton County, similar to those near wind farms in southwest Missouri. Innitially the proposals are looking at 125 wind turbines in the north part of the county, generating up to three hundred ... Read More

A damming report by the engineer Prof Dough King has been published in th UK. Professor King is speaking out against rooftop turbines. In his report he states that rooftop wind turbines in the UK are little more then “Eco Bling” and those big enough likely to produce enough energy  would damage the structure of a house through extensive vibration. It is fair to say that badly installed rooftop turbines don’t produce energy and judging by what we have seen popping up in UK urban areas we agree with the report. Take for ... Read More

Commercial Grade Wind Turbines often reach innitial life spans of 20 years when they are being well looked after.  That is however often not the end of a Wind Turbine. On the contrary; a wind turbine can get a new lease of life through professional refurbishment, often adding another 20+ years of life.  A refurbished wind turbine can qualify for new warranties and therefore often qualifies for state incentives or government grants such as a new wind turbine would. During a refurbishement a Wind Turbine is stripped to its bare ... Read More

The brand new wind farm, which because of the winter darkness could only be build during the summer months, has just gone live, feeding electricity at full time. The farm consists of 3 Wind Turbines generating up to 1MW of power. It is likely to cut diesel use by 120,000 Gallons and reduce carbon dioxide by 1,370 tonnes annually, turbing the Antarctica at least virtually green. The Wind Turbines have been manufactured by Enercon, Make/Model E333. Click this link to find the best collection of Alternative ... Read More

[ad]     A super sized wind farm contract has been awarded in the UK. The wind farm is to be located off the East Yorkshire coast and will provide four-per-cent of all electricity demand in the UK. The Hornsea zone, to be built off the Hornsea coast, will generate 3,000 mega watts and power three million homes. The Hornsea zone is one of nine offshore wind farms, part of a $162bn project to build up to 5,000 giant wind turbines around Britain's coast. One of the companies ... Read More

[ad] Denmark's Vestas, the world's largest wind turbine maker, is enjoying a large number of orders recently to come back from a very shaky 2009. Vestas announced last Wednesday that German company Nordwind Handels GmbH & Co. ordered 40 V90 turbines for installation in eastern Germany. Each turbine has a capacity of 2 MW. The contract includes delivery, installation and commissioning as well as a 10-year service agreement, the company said. "Installation of the turbines will start during the fourth quarter of 2010 and the project ... Read More

[ad] BEIJING - China's Goldwind Science & Technology Ltd. is one of the world's biggest makers of wind turbines - a cornerstone of the booming clean power business - but is unknown outside its home country. By Joe McDonald - Associated Press - Goldwind aims to change that. In a Minnesota farmer's cornfield, the company is erecting three 20-story-tall windmills in its first American project and hopes it will help to woo other buyers. "There are a lot of leads and we are following them ... Read More

[ad] By Poornima Gupta - SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Technology giant Intel Corporation is seeing big opportunities in wind forecasting for power generation, and in information management for electric vehicles, John Skinner, Intel's director of marketing for its Eco-Technology division said on Tuesday. Intel already sells microprocessors to wind turbine manufacturers and this would be an expansion of that business. Adoption of wide-scale wind power would rely on accurate forecasting, such as when the wind would blow and how fast, he said. "There's a lot ... Read More

    [ad] By Camille Ricketts - Engineering giant Siemens has made its presence felt in the wind business, winning six contracts to build 565-megawatts worth of wind turbines, valued at more than $900 million. About 250 of the turbines will be installed in Ontario Canada, with the other 750 (enough to power 170,000 homes) destined for wind farms in California, Oklahoma, Washington and Wyoming (for a project owned and operated by Duke Energy). Having first entered the wind market five years ago, Siemens is steadily climbing ... Read More

Jay says it right: "Every couple of month something new and exciting comes out..." This is the MagWind from Enviro-Energies. It magnetically levitates and starts with almost no wind! Same Turbine on Ed Begley's house. Jay has so far cut his elecrtical bill by 2/3! Read More

[ad] GALWAY, IRELAND - 15th September 2009 - The world's first full-scale floating wind turbine, StatoilHydro's 'Hywind,' took to the high seas last week for a two-year trial that will lead to wind turbines that can be deployed in much deeper waters than currently possible. Is the future of wind power floating off the Norwegian coast? Floating wind towers may someday allow turbines to be installed far offshore out of view from land, outside shipping lanes and where ocean winds are strongest. The primary intention ... Read More

[ad] Alternative Energy - The Facts - Tidal Energy - Part 5 TIDAL ENERGY Even the power of the tides can be harnessed to produce electricity. Similar to the more conventional hydroelectric dams, the tidal process utilizes the natural motion of the tides to fill reservoirs, which are then slowly discharged through electricity-producing turbines. The former USSR produced 300 MW in its Lumkara plant using this method.   Advantages • Tides rise and fall every day in a very consistent pattern. • Economic life of a tidal power plant. A plant is ... Read More

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY [ad] Geothermal energy is an alternative energy source, although it is not resourceful enough to replace more than a minor amount of the future's energy needs. Geothermal energy is obtained from the internal heat of the planet and can be used to generate steam to run a steam turbine. This in turn generates electricity, which is a very useful form of energy.   There are many Geothermal hotspots which are volcanic features found all around the world. Basically a hotspot is an area of ... Read More

Concentrated Solar Power Systems use concentrated solar radiation as a high temperature energy source to produce electrical power and drive chemical reactions. Concentrating solar power (CSP) systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. The concentrated light is then used as a heat source for a conventional power plant or is concentrated onto photovoltaic surfaces. The first recorded use of such a technique was in 212 BC when Archimedes is said to ... Read More
