Small Wind Turbines
Over the last few years, wind and solar proponents have been battling it out to take the top spot in the clean energy discussion. However, when it comes down making a purchase on a smaller scale, solar is king. Solar panels are smaller, more discreet and, most importantly, they’re a proven commodity.
Still, that doesn’t mean they’re always the best option. According to Earth2Tech, the “small” wind turbine market is expected to double by 2013. By the way, I put “small” in quotes because were talking small in terms of output (100KW or less), not size. Look at the 100KW turbine in the picture and you’ll see what I’m talking about. More »

The production of energy through the usage of
Wind energy stocks provide an alternative investment option for individuals or companies who are looking at supporting the development of alternative energy sources throughout the world for both domestic and commercial applications. The ability to purchase stocks in companies that specialize in wind energy production (either pure wind energy or a combination of wind energy and an alternative) allows individuals to profit from the growing trend of alternative energy sources while at the same time supporting the production and development of environmentally friendly energy production worldwide.
As fossil fuels continue to diminish and climate change poses an ever-increasing threat, scientists around the world are searching for new and more efficient methods of generating energy.
We have been harnessing the wind’s energy for hundreds of years. From old Holland to farms in the United States, windmills have been used for pumping water or grinding grain. Today, the windmill’s modern equivalent—a wind turbine—can use the

With all the talk of going green, the question had been thrown out many times if there will ever be a time that we can use nothing but renewable energy to power our world. A small island in Denmark is trying answer that question with a resounding yes as they power up every single day via nothing but wind power. The Danish island is the ideal setting as the wind literally never stops blowing. The North Sea offers the perfect opportunity to capitalize on the winds that come off of the sea and for them to use
Wind energy is becoming very popular renewable energy sector, not only in United States but worldwide. As the
Wind energy is becoming more and more
Wind energy is much more environmentally friendly energy source than fossil fuels, though it also has certain (minor) environmental disadvantages that need to be mentioned. This means that wind energy can also have some negative impact on environment but this impact is definitely not enough for wind energy to be described as not being environmentally friendly. Through this article I will mention certain issues that worry environmentalists when discussing large wind power projects.
