As the world has moved towards sustainable energy sources over the last few years, it’s increasingly common to be close to a wind turbine. The huge turbines visible on the horizon from where this is ...

Discover the future of wind energy with our in-depth comparison between vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) and traditional ...

Humanity has been harvesting energy from the wind for centuries. The practice goes back at least to 8th century Persia where the first known historical records of windmills came, but likely extends ...

The claim cherry-picks the words of a geoscientist writing about putting turbines where the wind blows. Multiple studies show that within a couple of years, windmills produce more energy than it takes ...

I remember one particularly dark night while growing up. A nasty thunderstorm late in the afternoon had knocked out the power, and we couldn't milk the cows. It was too cloudy and rainy for moonlight ...

Taller than the Golden Gate Bridge, new offshore wind turbines are drawing warnings from the federal government and experts over reliability. When the Interior Department in late August approved ...
