Wind Turbines: Hearing of UK Harbor Seals May be At Risk
2015-05-20 19:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Scientists are still working to figure out how various noise pollution affects marine animals, and now new research suggests that the building of wind turbines may be putting the hearing of UK harbor seals at risk. There are currently 1,184 offshore wind turbines located along the coast of the United Kingdom, collectively generating around 4GW of power. And last year, construction began on hundreds more turbines, the impact of which on sea mammals is still widely unknown. To figure out if nearby...

Many Wind Turbines Being Installed Critical Bird Habitat, Group Says
2015-05-20 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: More than 30,000 wind turbines in the U.S. have been installed in areas critical to the survival of federally protected birds and an additional 50,000 turbines are planned for similar areas, according to the advocacy group American Bird Conservancy (ABC). Those figures include 24,000 turbines in the migration corridor of the rare whooping crane and nearly 3,000 turbines in breeding strongholds for greater sage grouse, a species that has already declined by up to 80 percent in recent decades due to...

United Kingdom: Renewable energy target calls for 1,000 new wind turbines, inquiry told
2015-05-19 05:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: To meet the recently struck renewable energy target figure of 33,000 gigawatt hours 1,000 wind turbines would need to be built, a Senate inquiry has been told. The government and Labor reached a compromise on Monday on the 2020 target, dropping it from its original 41,000 GwH figure to 33,000. The Coalition agreed to scrap plans for a biennial review of the target, which had been a sticking point. The government-funded clean energy regulator will monitor the progress made towards reaching the...

Have wind turbines ruined Britains prized lobster haul?
2015-05-17 01:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Soon they will return. But when the small fishing boats of East Yorkshires Holderness Coast go back to Westermost Rough some time within the next few weeks, what they will find remains as murky as the waters they used to fish. This area of the North Sea is by far the UKs most prolific lobster ground. Before the boats were barred from entering it, in mid-2013, to allow for the construction of a 35-turbine windfarm, it provided more than 15% of the 3,500 tonnes of lobster taken from UK waters...

Ajax TOCCO Delivered (4) Four Portable Induction Bolt Heating Systems for On-Site Maintenance Service of Large Gas Turbines
2015-05-12 12:31:16| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
During the maintenance of large gas turbines, technicians must remove large bolts which have become corroded and difficult to unfasten. Typically a large cumbersome hydraulic wrench is required to provide the 6800 Nm (5000 ft-lbs) of torque required to break the corrosive bonds between the 100 mm heavy hex nuts and...
