Wind Power Opponents May Be Blowing Hot Air
2013-04-17 16:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Opposition to windmills often centers on health effects, but what is it about wind power that causes people to feel ill? According to recent research, it may not be the infrasound from wind-energy installations but, oddly enough, the warnings from opponents. For a study published in the American Psychological Associations Health Psychology journal, researchers from New Zealands University of Auckland showed readily available anti-wind-power film footage to 27 people. Another 27 were shown interviews...
US wind power grew 28 per cent in record-breaking 2012

BusinessGreen: Wind power was the top source of new electricity generation capacity installed in the US last year, as the market grew by 28 per cent and investment across the sector soared. That is the stark conclusion of a new report from the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), detailing the industry's progress during a record-breaking year that ended in a rush of investment sparked by uncertainty over the future of the government's Production Tax Credit (PTC) incentive scheme. The report stated that...
World Wind Power Set to Top 300,000 Megawatts in 2013, After Record 2012
2013-04-03 12:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Even amid policy uncertainty in major wind power markets, wind developers still managed to set a new record for installations in 2012, with 44,000 megawatts of new wind capacity worldwide. With total capacity exceeding 280,000 megawatts, wind farms generate carbon-free electricity in more than 80 countries, 24 of which have at least 1,000 megawatts. At the European level of consumption, the worlds operating wind turbines could satisfy the residential electricity needs of 450 million people. Several...
