A couple weeks ago, I wrote about China’s new policy to focus on buying (almost entirely) “ China-grown ” wind turbines and wind turbine technologies with Chinese patents. That policy wasn’t a big hit internationally and China is back-tracking. However, is it changing its stance out of international moral pressure or a major financial incentive (recent deal) in the US? And...

Cape Wind: NIMBYism Is Just Part of the Problem - Environmental Capital - WSJ What really makes offshore wind power expensive is the additional cost of building wind farms at sea: about 64% of the total cost of offshore projects comes from the platforms to hold the turbines, the need for new undersea transmission cables, and the extra maintenance costs. Record Low 2009 Tornadoes, LA 10/29 Was Big But...

When we talk about wind energy, we don’t specifically mention ocean winds. But global satellite maps from NASA promise a new hope. Nearly a decade of data from NASA’s QuikSCAT satellite gives us hope that we can harness ocean’s wind for energy generation. These maps can help in locating and planning the offshore wind farms for producing electric energy. QuikSCAT , was placed in the orbit in 1999. It...
