Dominion Virginia Power won't build offshore wind farm on tract it leased unless cost drops

2013-09-15 15:36:22| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Washington Post: Dominion Virginia Power drew a lot of favorable publicity this month by leasing a patch of the Atlantic Ocean off Virginia Beach to construct an offshore wind farm hailed as a clean-energy milestone for the state. Too bad there's good reason to believe Dominion will never build it. Even as Dominion executives publicly stressed wind power's potential, their statements and company documents showed they have no intention of building anything larger than a small, two-turbine offshore test project...

Western Wind Power May Soon Compete With Natural Gas

2013-09-12 21:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Climate Central: Wind power is cheap where the wind blows, and by the middle of the next decade, the wind farms that dot the landscapes along the highways in Rocky Mountain states could become major regional sources of electricity without federal subsidies, according to a new National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) study. Western renewables, primarily wind, could begin to compete on their own with electricity generated at natural gas power plants by 2025, the study said. That will happen as government mandates...

Calculating Energy Required To Store Wind, Solar Power Efficiently

2013-09-09 22:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

RedOrbit: Stanford University scientists, publishing a paper in the journal Energy and Environmental Science, calculated the energy required to store wind and solar power on the electrical grid to determine the total amount of fuel and electricity required to build and operate storage technologies. "We looked at batteries and other promising technologies for storing solar and wind energy on the electrical grid," said Charles Barnhart, the lead author of the study and a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford`s...
