(Natural News) One of the most unique and biodiverse forests in the world is about to get clear-cut to make room for a massive new “wind park.” The Reinhardswald, located in the beautiful hilly region west of Göttingen in Germany, is widely recognized as the “treasure house of European forests.” Some people also call it […]

(Natural News) In an executive order issued on Wednesday, June 9, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper has committed the state to developing 2.8 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind projects by 2030 and eight GW by 2040. Achieving those wind energy targets will provide enough electricity to 2.3 million homes by 2040, according to a statement from the Democratic governor’s office. To generate offshore wind projects, […]

(Natural News) The power that icing can cause wind turbines to lose up to 80 percent of their power generation, according to a new study published in the journal Renewable Energy. Lead researcher Hui Hu, a professor of aerospace engineering at Iowa State University, and his team carried out a field study of a Chinese wind farm after a decade of performing lab […]

(Natural News) A strategic plot of land in Texas that is greater in size than the entire city of Tulsa, Okla., is owned by a billionaire Chinese “carpetbagger” with strong ties to the communist Chinese regime. Sun Guangxin’s 130,000-acre parcel is actually a wind farm, and it is located just a stone’s throw away from […]

(Natural News) The world is now, after a few long years, slowly starting to come around on the concept of renewable energy. While it’s true that the idea of using renewable energy sources has been around for literally decades now, it’s only now that it has become truly economically viable. In fact, it has become […]

(Natural News) Offshore wind farms might produce clean energy, but they do have negative effects on the environment. For one, their construction causes noise that might be disturbing, driving out, or even harming local wildlife. In a Science Daily article, European researchers have devised a computer model tool to determine the possible effects of such […]

(Natural News) The world awaits the first comprehensive performance reviews of offshore wind farms that are currently in operation. Now, it looks like it will finally get a first glimpse at this highly awaited information, and it’s quite encouraging. Hywind, the world’s first commercial offshore wind farm that’s operating out of Scotland, is slowly but […]

(Natural News) The title of world’s largest offshore wind turbine could one day go to General Electric (GE), whose renewable energy division has recently announced it is developing the skyscraper-sized Haliade-X model, according to an article on EcoWatch. Standing at a height of 853 feet, Haliade-X is as tall as the Transamerica Pyramid building, the second tallest structure in […]

(Natural News) Does size matter? When it comes to wind turbines, the answer is — yes it does. Indeed, that appears to be the consensus based on all the research that has been conducted on them so far: The bigger the wind turbines are, the more they will be able to offer their unique benefits. […]

(Natural News) The largest wind farm in the United States is coming soon to Oklahoma, reported EcoWatch, now that the Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO) has reached an arrangement with Walmart and Arkansas state agencies to guarantee the project. The state’s famously-shaped and windy panhandle region will be hosting the Wind Catcher Energy Connection project. A huge […]
