A consistent wind, with average speeds of approximately 11 miles per hour is required to make a wind energy system feasible.
Wind power is the world’s fastest growing energy source, averaging a 30% growth per year.
It is ironic, but wind power seems to be going full circle, from small-scale local generation through large-scale national projects and back to small scale again, with governments and multinationals having little say in the matter: a true democratisation of energy supply
Wind power is a clean, renewable source of energy which produces no carbon dioxide emissions or waste products.
One of the easiest and most attractive ways for farmers to benefit from wind power is to allow developers to install large wind turbines on their land.
The current issue is that one turbine generates quite a bit of energy, but not enough energy to make wind power cost acceptable. A considerable number of wind powered turbines need to be in place to make this happen.
Unfortunately, some people still believe that all wind energy generators are noisy and kill birds.
A summary of 42 polls conducted between 1990 and 2002 shows an average of 77% in favor and just 9% against wind power.
Wind power is also stable, because its cost does not fluctuate with the price of fuel.
Wind power is now the world's fastest growing energy source, according to Worldwatch.
The fastest growing alternative energy platform in the United States is the wind. No, I'm not blowing hot air. 28th October, 2008
Wind power generation may be on a very big scale, as with most commercial projects, or it may be on a very small scale which is the case with home owner wind turbines. 11th October, 2009
Follow these steps to find out if a wind energy generator can supply the electric power you need and help you reduce those high utility bills. 13th October, 2009
Wind power cost levels have fallen by around 80 per cent since the days when utility-grade wind energy units were used. 3rd October, 2009
Imagine your neighbors told you they were going to produce their own home turbine wind power? Would you be shocked? Well, very soon that may be the norm. 15th October, 2009
