As the world has moved towards sustainable energy sources over the last few years, it’s increasingly common to be close to a wind turbine. The huge turbines visible on the horizon from where this is ...
Wind turbines are incredible pieces of technology, able to harvest wind energy and deliver it to the power grid without carbon emissions. Their constant development since the first one came online in ...
The claim cherry-picks the words of a geoscientist writing about putting turbines where the wind blows. Multiple studies show that within a couple of years, windmills produce more energy than it takes ...
This spring, researchers at a quarry near Draperstown, Northern Ireland, undertook what amounted to a massively scaled up version of the type of science experiment you might see in a middle school ...
The now-familiar sight of traditional propeller wind turbines could be replaced in the future with wind farms containing more compact and efficient vertical turbines. New research has found that the ...
Every year, hundreds to thousands of megawatts’ worth of wind turbines across the United States get a facelift. These aging turbines have their rotors swapped out, their blades replaced, and key ...
A joint venture (JV) created to develop large-scale offshore wind projects said it plans to use what at present would be the world’s largest wind turbines at two projects located between Spain and ...
As swimmers enjoy the beach this summer, massive chunks of debris, including sharp fiberglass shards, have been washing ashore on the once-pristine coast of Nantucket island, Massachusetts. The ...
