Short but Excellent Video on Wind Energy
Here’s Mark Z. Jacobson, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University and director of its Atmosphere/Energy Program. He is also a co-founder of the non-profit, Solutions Project, explaining the environmental and cost-related benefits of wind energy. Of course, …

Manufacturer of “Micro-Wind” Turbines Says, “Start Generating Wind Power on Your Roof Today!”
If you’re interested in this, you might want to ask yourself: Do I have good wind conditions 10 – 20 feet off the ground, surrounded by other houses and trees? Mustn’t there be a reason that real wind farms are …
Micro Wind
Energy from wind, generated right where you need it – that’s our SkyWind NG. The first independently tested micro wind turbine is efficient, quiet and Made in Germany. In response, a reader notes, “They chop up birds amazingly well.” That’s …
Wind Energy in Our Post-Truth World
When you and I were young, if someone said that Canada was south of the United States, or that vast numbers of penguins inhabited our Great Plains, they wouldn’t have been taken too seriously. Now, truth has ceased to matter …
German Engineering and Small Wind
At left we have something that illustrates why small wind is a concept in renewable energy that was abandoned about 15 years ago. Germans are respected around the world for the quality of their engineering. That’s good if you’re buying …

Concept in Small Wind
Here’s a concept in small wind for readers to check out. A few points: It’s not new. A few years ago, there was a nearly identical idea that came and went, when investors figured out that this concept, as all …

Small, Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs)
In preparation for my first book, “Renewable Energy – Facts and Fantasies,” I interviewed Ray Lane, then managing partner of Kleiner Perkins, one of the world’s great venture capital firms, who told me about his stance with his prospects, “You …

Germany Cranks Up the Volume on Renewable Energy
Germany finds itself in a unique position among the countries of the world, in that it’s gotten rid of both coal and nuclear and now depends quite heavily on renewables. Germany is the world’s third largest economy, behind the United …

More Crap re: Renewable Energy Breakthroughs
Obviously, this is pure crap. 1) Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are less efficient than their horizontal counterparts. More importantly: 2) Wind turbines are not cited in areas with buildings that block wind currents. 3) Cities are not built in …
