Wind Turbines Could Tame Hurricanes

RedOrbit: In addition to providing a renewable source of energy and reducing societys carbon footprint, wind turbines may provide the added benefit of taming the power of a hurricane. According to a new study in the journal Nature Climate Change, thousands of offshore wind turbines could diminish hurricanes` wind speeds, wave heights and storm surge. "We found that when wind turbines are present, they slow down the outer rotation winds of a hurricane," said study author Mark Z. Jacobsen, a professor...

EcoWatch: A London college has evidence to dispel notions that wind turbines only have decade-long lives. According to new research from Imperial College, most turbines can last up to a quarter of a century. In fact, the United Kingdom`s oldest turbines, built in the early `90s, are still going strong, producing three-quarters of their original output after 19 years of spinning. That`s nearly twice the amount previously claimed, according to Imperial. Turbines on the Arnish Moor wind farm in the United...

Yale Environment 360: USGS Locations of wind turbines in the U.S. More than 47,000 wind turbines dot the U.S. landscape, predominantly clustered in the Midwest and Great Plains, as a new interactive tool developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) shows. The maps -- the first publicly-available, nationwide data set for wind energy generation -- show the locations of every turbine in the U.S., from large wind farms to single turbines, and are accurate to within 10 meters. The maps are part of the USGS's effort to assess...
Interactive Map Shows All 47,000 Wind Turbines in the U.S

EcoWatch: As wind energy advocates fight for the renewal of a critical, expired wind energy tax credit and hope for the development of an offshore industry, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has taken note of the onshore wind turbines installed around the country. All 47,000 of them. That`s the USGS` installation estimate for the country as of July 2013. To illustrate it, the federal agency this week released a highly interactive map that allows you zoom in and out of all 50 states to view data on each...
