Wind power to grow massively until 2030Brussels (UPI) Oct 12, 2010 Wind power could satisfy more than one-fifth of the global power demand by 2030, an industry group and environmental organization Greenpeace said Tuesday. Total wind power capacity would rise to 2,300 gigawatts within the next two decades in the most optimistic scenario of a study released Tuesday by the Global Wind Energy Council and Greenpeace. That's up from just less than 200 GW this year. Investments in the sector could rise to $280 billion in 2030, up from $71 billion in 2009, the ... read more |

Minneapolis MN (SPX) Aug 19, 2010Mortenson Construction has started construction of White Oak Energy Center (White Oak) near Bloomington, Ill., adding 150 megawatts to Illinois' approximate 2,000 megawatt wind generating capacity. Located in agricultural terrain in central Illinois along the McLean and Woodford County lines, the wind power facility, developed by Chicago-based developer Invenergy Wind LLC (Invenergy), will consi ... more 
Fredericton, New Brunswick (UPI) Aug 6, 2010 Energy companies in Canada's Maritime Provinces say they are studying ways for their customers to help them utilize wind energy more efficiently. Wind power is environmentally friendly but unpredictable compared to carbon-fueled sources of electricity, which are always available as needed, Canadian Broadcasting Corp. News reported Friday. A $32 million Power Shift Atlantic projec ... more 
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Aug 04, 2010The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) Board of Water and Power Commissioners approved a long-term agreement to receive over 100 megawatts of new wind energy from Milford Wind Farm Phase II at its meeting on July 22, 2010. The project is consistent with the LADWP's long-term strategy and marks a strategic shift in the LADWP's renewable energy program, which seeks to tap into ... more |

Study Shows Stability And Utility Of Floating Wind TurbinesCollege Park MD (SPX) Jul 06, 2010 Wind turbines may be one of the best renewable energy solutions, but as turbines get larger they also get noisier, become more of an eyesore, and require increasingly larger expanses of land. One solution: ocean-based wind turbines. While offshore turbines already have been constructed, they've traditionally been situated in shallow waters, where the tower extends directly into the seabed. That restricts the turbines to near-shore waters with depths no greater than 50 meters - and precludes their ... read more |
