The United States is currently facing an increasingly severe energy crisis. In addition to their rising cost, the environmental damage done by fossil fuel based power plants makes finding effective alternatives vital. On the other hand, these alternatives must be able to provide dependable and inexpensive energy to the American [...]

Surprise, surprise! A new report, published in Nature Climate Change, says that there is a form of renewable energy that can meet the needs of the global energy demand. Scientists have found, led by Kate Marvel of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, that there is enough surface-level winds (those that can be accessed by turbines [...]

There are reports that China is ordering its biggest electricity distributors to source up to 15 per cent of their power from renewable energy, including wind. And while this may seem like a quick boost for the wind power industry, many wind executives say it could be years before they [...]

There is no shortage of wind in the North of England. It is a natural step for professionals in an industry such as agriculture, which already runs off the land, to upgrade to a wind turbine in order to power their businesses.  Earthmill are the largest provider of endurance turbines [...]

The United Kingdom, as you might expect, uses a large amount of electricity each quarter. We use electricity to run our offices and workplaces, our homes and public spaces, meaning we’re constantly using electricity generated by numerous different resources. So how much energy is generated via renewables? How much is [...]

It’s becoming more and more common for energy suppliers to offer the option of brown or green energy contracts to their customers. A good example of this is Apollo Energy, for example, find it best to broker energy contracts for their clients in which they specify that they want green [...]

Breakthroughs in water filtration and wind turbine research have fused together to create an innovative machine that may very well change the landscape of third world countries for the better. The WMS1000 Wind Turbine, created by an eco-energy company named Eole Water, uses wind power to create an entirely autonomous [...]

Renewable energy is inexhaustible, clean and becoming increasingly cost effective. After an initial infrastructure investment, its main cost is maintenance. For decades, interest in renewables developed slowly due to low oil prices. Now, that development is picking up speed. As new power sources come onto the grid, the price of [...]

When watching green energy commercials, chances are you’ll see solar panels and wind turbines. In fact, wind is second only to solar energy as the most popular form of sustainable energy – and it’s no wonder. Wind energy is entirely green and completely sustainable; it has no harmful emissions because [...]

Have you ever wondered what the wind flows look like in the United States? Or better yet, exactly how many mph the wind travels at in a specific region? A new site has been created to let anyone find that out, and to help those interested in building wind turbines [...]
