Adding to the 50 wind farms are currently in operation around Australia, Capital Wind Farm was officially launched by Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, NSW Premier Nathan Rees and Minister for Climate Change, Senator Penny Wong.
The Capital Wind Farm is the largest wind farm in New South Wales. It will boost Australia’s wind power capacity [...]

Statoil has constructed the world’s first full-scale floating wind turbine two hours off the coast of the oil town Stavanger, in the hope that one day vast wind farms could be constructed far offshore in water depths of up to 700m.
The most interesting aspects of the turbine can be found in the depths of the [...]

There’s almost no better way to reach more people so easily and quickly than in the world of the web. That’s why using the web to spread the word about everything that wind powered energy has to offer can raise awareness for hundreds, thousands, maybe millions of people. Since it is so easy to start [...]

According to a new report by the American Wind Energy Association, an extra 1,210 megawatts of wind power was moved to the nation’s power grid in the second quarter of 2009.
Leading the pack, of all places is Texas. The oil state continues to lead the nation in wind power generating capacity, with 454 megawatts [...]

The Hywind, a 2.3 megawatt wind turbine built by Siemens, combines technologies from both the wind farming industry and the oil and gas sectors, and will be tested off the coast of Norway for two years. Statoil’s Alexandra Beck Gjorv told reporters that the technology, called the Hywind, “should help move offshore wind farms out [...]

Global wind capacity grew by 29 percent in 2008 with America passing Germany to become the world’s leading wind power generator. Worldwatch, a Washington-based research organization said that global wind capacity rose by over 27,000 megawatts, to 120,798 MW last year. Wind now provides 1.5 percent of the world’s energy demand, up from 0.1 percent [...]

The total wind power generating capacity in China is currently 12,000 MW, but the nation, which is growing at the most rapid rate among all the countries in the world, wants to raise it to 20,000 MW by next year. This is an increase of its goal for wind power generation capacity by the year [...]

Wind power is being harnessed in New York at an unprecedented level now with a new record being set after hitting 1,000 megawatts last week.
February 19 saw wind power output hit a level high enough to supply almost five percent of all of the 21,000 MW required by New York. To put into a more [...]

Dell relies on various forms of renewable energy for about one-third of its power requirements at its American facilities and now wind power is responsible for even more of their energy needs.
The Dell customer service center in Oklahoma City has just contracted OG&E to provide power for 100 percent of the building’s needs.
This will make [...]

Not to be the bearers of bad news here, but scientists are saying that climate changes are occurring more rapidly than previously predicted. Scientists recently revealed that industrial greenhouse gas emissions have increased more quickly than expected, while emissions from burning fossil fuels since 2000 are much higher than previously estimated.
“We are basically looking now [...]
