The number of people willing to alter the way they live in the hope of making a difference to global warming fell by around 10 per cent last year. There was also a sharp drop in those who regarded themselves as ‘fairly concerned’ about climate change. The figures, released by the UK Government ... Read More »

Has a study been done to determine the CO2 costs to the environment of producing and servicing these turbines? It is a fact that they are unreliable generators of power as policy makers must build in traditional energy production redundancy so that families stay warm when the wind stops on a cold ni...

Hello everyone! I have recently been very much into the ideas of sustainability and natural energy. I have read stories of people in Denmark that run their entire house on electricity that they generate from wind turbines. They heat their water from a copper pipe cluster in their back yard. Or p...

Sources say that Mercedes Benz is developing an all electric mid sized car. You can either charge it in an outlet or charge a charger that can charge the car while its driving. It will have 105 Miles per charge. This got me thinking... If turbines require wind to spin it and the spinning produces e... Read More »

Not counting the wind factor of course, but assuming the blade was moved via something other than wind, would the turbine still produce energy? Jill read the additional detail :( Ok I guess I didn't make myself clear enough -- I am asking if something SIMILAR to a Wind Turbine - aka motion to energ... Read More »

The main parts of a wind turbine is the blades, the rotor, the generator, the tail and the tower. But where (and how) can "gold" be used in one of these parts (or others) when the properties of gold is put into consideration? Thank you for your answer, but if you HAVE to use gold in a wind turbine w... Read More »
