Reworking traffic lights may not be the first thing that comes to mind when local governments consider ways to save money. But a project in Lincoln, Neb., is researching if traffic lights could pay for themselves by feeding renewable energy into the power grid. A solar and wind powered traffic light project at the University […]

Fish thriving around wind farms

Gabriel — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 18:58:52 +0000

The first Danish study into how one of the worlds largest wind farms affects marine life is now completed. It shows that the wind turbines and the fish live quite happily together. Indeed some species of fish have actually increased in number. As work is just beginning on Denmark’s newest and so far largest offshore […]

Rising demand for wind turbines and electric vehicles could strain supplies of some rare earth metals

Gabriel — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 19:21:50 +0000

As the world moves toward greater use of low-carbon and zero-carbon energy sources, a possible bottleneck looms, according to a new MIT study: the supply of certain metals needed for key clean-energy technologies. Wind turbines, one of the fastest-growing sources of emissions-free electricity, rely on magnets that use the rare earth element neodymium. And the […]

Higher potential for wind energy in India than previously estimated

Gabriel — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 20:21:41 +0000

A new assessment of wind energy in India by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has found that the potential for on-shore wind energy deployment is far higher than the official estimates— about 20 times and up to 30 times greater than the current government estimate of 102 gigawatts. This landmark finding may have significant impact on […]

A team of engineers has harnessed a sophisticated weather model to optimize offshore wind plan

Gabriel — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 19:07:20 +0000

Using a sophisticated weather model, environmental engineers at Stanford have defined optimal placement of a grid of four wind farms off the U.S. East Coast. The model successfully balances production at times of peak demand and significantly reduces costly spikes and zero-power events. Politics aside, most energy experts agree that cheap, clean, renewable wind energy […]
