This is definitely in the realm of hypothetical computer modeling, but a pair of researchers at the University Maryland have determined that a really, really big wind farm could have a “butterfly effect” on air currents, and change the course of storms.
Right now the U.S. gets about 1% of our total electricity from windmills. The agency of Energy has a goal of increasing that to 20% by 2020, which means a couple of things:
a) someone needs to build a whole bunch of wind farms, and
b) no…

With day after day of poor economic news, it was heartening to about a new report from the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), Green Jobs: Towards Decent work in a Sustainable, Low-Carbon World.
UNEP reports that efforts to curb the climate change are aly creating new, green jobs in both developed and developing world economies, and project that that trend will continue, growing stronger as the industries mature.
The report defines “green” jobs as ones that “reduce t…

As many of us are starting to reach our collective saturation point for partisan election season politics, it’s nice to get some news that a couple of the leading minds of seemingly contrasting viewpoints might be bridging the gap. According to Hollywood gossip columnists, eco-minded actor/director Leonardo DiCaprio and oilman gone wind-energy mogul T. Boone Pickens might be joining forces on a upcoming documentary project.
Will the film turn out to be The 11th Hour Part Deux? The details ar…

In possibly a last ditch effort to save the company after being dumped by Daimler, Chrysler has recently announced that it has been working on some plans for an electric vehicle, and they plan to show them off to dealers that week. These plans are shrouded with secrecy still, but there is speculation that they will include more data on the RE-EV ecoVoyager. But don’t let the ‘electric vehicle’ moniker idiot you, the ecoVoyager is designed to run on hydrogen fuel cells, which is currently one…

Wondering what New York City will look like when Mayor Bloomberg gets his way and puts wind turbines on every available surface? While you’re probably envisioning a city skyline punctuated with giant windmills, British turbine start-up Quiet Revolution has a different concept for urban wind development. They raised $12.49M that year to start production on their innovative, and of course quiet, vertical-axis turbines.
So far, Quiet Revolution’s claim to fame has been its three-blade helix …

Next to getting stuck in bumper to bumper traffic — which is definitely one of the most rage-provoking ways to waste gas and spew CO2 — the second most annoying way to burn up all of your fuel is to get lost. Not only do you feel like an idiot for not consulting a map before you set out, but you have to watch that needle on your gas gauge count down towards ‘E.’ Now, imagine the pressure you’d feel whether you were lost for 5 hours and you were driving a bus load of school children.

At that point they’re still at the planning stages, but that proposed transnational potential grid, designed by Greenpeace, is pretty ambitious.
The basic notion: connect 10,000 wind turbines from by 100 different wind farms in seven countries scattered around the North Sea. That’s a lot of wind farms, countries and distances to figure out, but whether successful, that shared renewable energy could potential 70 million European homes.
The notion of using a massive grid to share wind-ge…
