Wind energy facts are beginning to bear witness to what proponents have said all along about wind energy being a viable option. Below is a list of the top 5 wind energy advantages.  Continue Reading »
Wind Energy Association
The Wind Energy Association was created as a national trade association. It represents the developers of wind developers, services providers, parts manufacturers, utilities, researchers, and so many more involved in the creation of wind energy advantages. The American Wind Energy Association provides up to date information and wind energy facts to the people of the United States as well as to the world.  Continue Reading »

Faa Wind Turbines
In a surprise move, one that reverses a decision made by the FAA at an earlier time, a new decision was made about the approved FAA wind turbines, which were scheduled to be erected in the state of Massachusetts. This wind energy story started with a proposal made by the Massachusetts Army National Guard to place 17 wind turbines at the Massachusetts Military Reservation on Cape Cod. At first, eight of the FAA wind turbines were approved, but within a week this decision was reversed and only three of the original eight approved were found to meet standards for FAA wind turbines. According to the agency, the five that were approved and then later denied posed a safety hazard because they would stand 400 feet tall, leading the charge that they were dangerous at over 200 feet to aircraft in the area.  Continue Reading »
Vestas
Who is Vestas, and why is this company important? Vestas wind systems is the leader and the number one name when it comes to wind power, and for very good reason. Vestas wind production in China is ever expanding, and the company has spent almost four hundred and fifty million US dollars to build a large production base in China. This is not the only country where vestas has the lead though, it is worldwide. The company has a twenty three percent market share, the largest of any alternative energy company out there, and they have installed more than thirty five thousand wind turbines all around the world. One reason that they are a leader is that they do not just install alternative energy equipment and turbines, they supply wind power solutions.  Continue Reading »
Vestas Wind Production In China
Vestas wind production in china has increased significantly, and vestas wind system is a company to watch. Vestas is number one worldwide when it comes to wind power, and the company recently announced plans to open the largest integrated wind production base to date. The base will be built in TEDA, which stands for Tianjin Economic Technological Development Area. Vestas wind production in china is just a further expansion for the company, and proof that when it comes to wind power vestas can not be beat. Vestas wind systems started in TEDA in the year 2006, with a single blade factory, and it has continuously been expanding since then. The new expansion includes a control system factory, a machining factory, generator factories, blade factories, and a supply and logistics center which is new as well.  Continue Reading »
Texas Leads With Wind Power
When it comes to renewable energy sources in the US, Texas leads with wind power. In this state wind energy and wind turbines are commonplace, and more than half a million homes are powered with green energy from this source every day. There are a number of these farms and projects, both new and those already established. One of the reasons that texas leads with wind power is that this state has increased their wind energy capacity more than any other state, but that is only one reason. Another is that the state produces more power from wind turbines than any other state in the country. The second largest producer in the country only generates one third of what Texas does with this equipment.  Continue Reading »
Oregon Wind Power Project
When it comes to wind energy and wind turbines, an Oregon wind power project is one of the most numerous in the country right now. This state stands only behind one other in the United States when it comes to available wind power for residents, and the number one leader in this area is the state of Texas. Thanks to a number of Oregon wind project completions in the past, currently seven percent of the energy used by residents of the state comes from the wind, and other renewable energy sources also play a part. This makes it a leader that many other states in this nation need to follow. Domestic renewable energy sources like wind and solar power can play an important role in energy and domestic security, as well as keeping the environment clean and protecting the earth from damage.  Continue Reading »
Battle Against Wind Farms
One Ontario farmer has decided to battle against wind farms in the area, and has taken this battle to court. In an original and never before seen move, farmer Ian Hanna from Ontario has filed an application for a judicial review. This is just the last step in a long line of actions brought by Hanna which includes petitions to the government over this alternative energy business. Investing in solar power is fine for this farmer, but the battle against wind farms is a whole different story. The argument for the judicial review is that there is uncertainty in the scientific community about the health effects of wind turbines on people who live close to these turbines. There are some physicians who back up the claims of this farmer, and who have been urging for a full investigation and study of the health effects that living near wind farms can have.  Continue Reading »
Mitsubishi Wind Turbine Plant
The new Mitsubishi wind turbine plant, slated for construction in 2011, is a big step forward for the state of Arkansas. This alternative energy business will make wind turbines, and as many as four hundred people may be employed at the plant. Using wind power instead of fossil fuels is one of the easy ways to reduce air pollution, because there are no greenhouse gas emissions or particulates released into the air. Wind turbines are eco friendly, clean, and effective. The opening of the Mitsubishi wind turbine plant will help the economy of Fort Smith, and the state of Arkansas, and protect the environment while providing the power needed. Governor Mike Beebe has been very supportive of the proposed plant, and the proposed cost for the new plant is estimated at one hundred million dollars.  Continue Reading »
