Wind Energy Marketing Views

So you are probably saying to yourself why should I rush to order service for a ‘renewable energy’ related vanity toll-free number? Well, let’s start by saying that your SMART competitors are contacting us...more

Into the Wind - The AWEA Blog (blog)

Simon Chapman, emeritus professor of Public Health at The University of Sydney, has just published an important and well-timed book. In “Wind Turbine Syndrome – a communicated disease,” Chapman and his co-author Fiona Crichton focus on noise and health

CleanTechnica

While shifts in wind patterns is concerning enough, the study has massive implications for the wind energy industry, which often bases its wind energy resource estimates on today's current climate, rather than taking into account the potential shifts

The Port of Corpus Christi in Texas has had plans approved to build a 10-hectare laydown area for storage of wind turbine components and other breakbulk cargo. The approval comes as the port expects to handle for the first time more than 3000 wind

Kankakee Daily Journal

But the second study, published Monday in Nature Geoscience and apparently the first comprehensive look at wind energy resources under climate change, projects forward to the future using 10 climate change models. And it finds more of the same across

Windpower Engineering (press release)

The team then used a “power curve” from the wind energy industry to convert predictions of global winds, density and temperature into an estimate of wind energy production potential. While not all of the climate models agreed on what the future will

Windpower Engineering (press release)

“This work will further DOE's goal to accelerate the development of offshore wind technologies by supporting fundamental research to reduce the costs of offshore wind energy to successfully compete in regional energy markets.” The U.S. is capitalizing

Scientific American

"And ultimately it's a recognition that the baseline wind energy resource can't be considered a constant." It's already known that climate change can affect global wind patterns. One reason winds exist is because certain parts of the planet receive

Wind energy is a big part of the drive to reduce the world's consumption of fossil fuels like oil, natural gas and coal, which release heat-trapping greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. Atmospheric scientist Kris Karnauskas and two of his colleagues

CleanTechnica

A new study has found that wind and solar indirect lifecycle emissions are not only on the lower scale compared to other generation technologies, but would result in only minor indirect greenhouse gas emissions if a full decarbonization of the global

HuffPost

As technology has improved, wind energy is now the cheapest form of electricity across much of the U.S. The career of “wind energy technician” is now the fastest growing job in country. When new energy is called for or old, polluting sources like coal

"But not as much focuses on the impact of climate change on energy production by weather-dependent renewables, like wind energy." Wind powers only about 3.7 percent of worldwide energy consumption today, but global wind power capacity is increasing

North American Windpower

“We applaud America's corporate sector and companies like Kimberly-Clark, who through the purchase of wind energy demonstrate leadership in the drive for a low-carbon economy,” says Ryan Pfaff, executive vice president of EDF RE. Kimberly-Clark

Dutch test the water for subsidy-free offshore wind farms

At the Netherlands' two previous auctions for offshore wind power last year, subsidies granted fell by a quarter, as a combination of surging demand for wind energy, low interest rates, technological progress and competition among turbine makers made
