Putting more wind power on the grid
2013-07-22 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: Wind turbines tend to be overshadowed by solar power projects, which get most of the attention from the public and policymakers. That's the case again in a new government plan for renewable energy projects in the California desert. Though the wind industry shouldn't get all the land it wants, the desert master plan should provide more and better space for wind farms. Despite its second-class status, wind is a much bigger producer of electricity than solar. According to the U.S. Energy Information...

10 ways wind power is beating fossil fuel power in India
2013-07-15 08:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Gigaom: Anyone who`s experienced - or even read about - the widespread blackouts in cities across India, realizes how much power generation India has to add every year just to maintain what its growing, and rapidly developing, population and domestic industries need. But on the brighter side of all that electricity growth is that wind power is making up an increasing amount of the new power generation added in the country because wind power is now competitive with, and in some cases even cheaper than, coal...
Wind Power Has Minimal Impact On Greater Prairie Chickens
2013-07-11 13:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
redOrbit: Wind power development does not strongly disrupt greater prairie chicken populations, and has no impact on nest site selection, female reproductive effort, nesting success or the overall population of these grassland birds, Kansas State University ecologists reported on Wednesday. These conclusions were based on an investigation of the impacts of wind power development on the demography, movements, and population genetics of greater prairie-chickens (Tympanuchus cupido) at three Kansas sites --...
