We’ve been tracking the progress of the world’s largest offshore wind turbine since GE Renewable Energy first revealed its plans for the enormous machine in 2018, and the Haliade-X keeps on going from strength to strength. The company has now revealed … Continue reading World’s largest off-shore wind farm to welcome the first 14-MW turbine
America’s first “commercial scale” offshore wind energy project has decided to use GE’s colossal Haliade-X turbines, the world’s largest and most powerful. Standing 853 ft (260 m) high – as tall as an 85-story building – with a 722-foot (220 m) rotor, … Continue reading Massive 853-foot-tall wind turbines are coming to America’s East Coast
It’s really beginning to feel as though the problem of climate change is a huge boulder rolling down a steep hill, and we have the Sisyphean task of trying to reverse it. While we definitely need to switch as much of the planet over to clean, green energy as soon …read more

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a new type of wearable electric generator, which harvests energy from the wind as you walk. The team says it’s low cost and efficient enough to power small sensors and LEDs.Continue Readin… Continue reading Tiny wearable wind farm harvests energy from flapping plastic strips
The wheels have begun to turn on an interesting new form of wind turbine in Sweden, with the country’s first wooden power-generation tower now complete. Built from sustainably sourced materials and said to offer comparable performance to traditional wi… Continue reading Sweden welcomes its first wooden wind turbine tower

German company Sinn Power has proposed a hybrid offshore power generation platform that combines wind turbines, solar panels and wave energy harvesters to generate off-grid electricity for people living close to the coast.Continue ReadingCategory: Ener… Continue reading Floating ocean platform harvests wind, solar and wave energy
Wind turbine towers have become a familiar sight in many parts of the world, but if Ampyx Power has its way, they could be replaced with fleets of tethered drones. Supported by ESA’s Navigation Innovation and Support Programme (NAVISP), the Dutch compa… Continue reading Tethered high-altitude drones designed to replace wind turbines
There appears to be no shortage of reasons to hate on wind farms. That’s especially the case if you live close by one, and as studies have shown, their general acceptance indeed grows with their distance. Whatever your favorite flavor of renewable energy might be, that’s at least something it …read more
