Wind farms are extremely lucrative when strategically placed in areas with high wind, but output still depends on varying factors such as terrain, turbine size and time of day. However, if the turbine were able to track wherever the wind may blow in any particular hour of the day, it would be more cost-effective and energy efficient than the standard stationary turbine. The Mobile Wind Turbine, created by…

Gottlieb Paludan, a Danish architectural firm, has come up with a revolutionary plan to store green energy which may solve the world energy crisis. The firm has proposed to take the world’s uninhabited islands and turn them into Green Power Islands, in which power would be generated on land through wind or solar — depending upon the climate — and the surrounding water would be used to store the power using pumped hydro. Pumped hydro is an efficient and feasible way…

On top of the dangers of fighting a war against a terrorist-ridden nation, a huge challenge for the soldiers in Afghanistan is obtaining power, diesel fuel and clean water for military bases around the rural countryside. Soldiers sent out to refuel and gather clean water are put at major risk of attack. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has been working in Afghanistan to uncover other sources of power and diminish the necessity of such trips — which are costly, dangerous…

Cannon Power Group and Gemesa Technology Corp., Inc. recently announced that they have combined resources for the development of a string of wind farms known as the Aubanel Wind Project in Baja California, Mexico – roughly 60 miles east of San Diego. As part of a 10-year agreement, Cannon Power Group will…

According to a report published yesterday by Blue Green Canada, Canadians have lost out on roughly 66,000 new jobs because the nation’s federal government has failed to pursue renewable energy investing. The survey, entitled, Falling Behind: Canada’s Lost Clean Energy Jobs, is the first analysis concerning the employment impact of Canada’s failure to invest in renewable energy projects and was released yesterday at the Good Jobs, Green Jobs Conference in Washington, DC. “Canada’s federal government keeps saying…
