Global Warming Reduces Available Wind EnergyWashington DC (SPX) Nov 11, 2010 A switch to wind energy will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions - and reduce the global warming they cause. But there's a catch, says climate researcher Diandong Ren, a research scientist at the University of Texas at Austin in a paper appear in the AIP's Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy: rising temperatures decrease wind speeds, making for less power bang for the wind turbine buck. The prevailing winds in the "free" atmosphere about 1,000 meters above the ground are maintained by a t ... read more |
