Wind power generation sounds like a possible way to offset rising power bills, we look at the issues involved and if it is practical for you.

Offshore wind power boom helps push profit from land and property to more than double what it was two years ago

At a minimum, FWS should issue no new wind power eagle-kill permits until the glaring issues uncovered in this study are resolved. Accurate electrocution death rates must be determined. Given there are well over 100 million...

It looks like FWS has never implemented, or even publicly evaluated, any of DOE’s research products. The permits are issued under the Eagle Protection Act, which clearly calls for mitigating eagle deaths, and the DOE products...

Prioritizing these low-return investments while starving high-EROI energy sources will only drive costs higher for taxpayers, slow economic growth, and compromise grid reliability...

In late April and early May, mainstream media outlets ran dozens of stories discussing the findings of a recent study that showed Antarctica’s ice mass was growing...

Gas companies can be sent multimillion pound fees to generate electricity when wind and solar power is in short supply

Energy secretary speaks at launch of £1bn investment scheme to bolster jobs in offshore wind supply chain

From New York to California, state renewable electrical power dreams are collapsing. Power demands soar, while the federal government cuts funding and support for wind, solar, and grid batteries. Renewables cannot provide...

‘The target is ambitious, but it’s achievable,’ expert says of Labor’s 2030 renewables goal

Will the disaster of April 28 make European leaders think twice about abandoning our most reliable energy sources? Hardly. Following the devastating blackout, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said his government would...

We need to be honest with ourselves... wind and solar alone can’t provide energy security. Not today. Maybe not ever without massive redesigns. We have leaned too hard on brittle inverter-based systems and we’ve treated...

Wind power is not clean, not affordable, and certainly not reliable. It is, however, deadly to millions of birds, bats, and marine mammals. No more of these deadly turbines should be allowed to be built.

Wind turbines have become a financial lifeline in rural areas, but state legislators are now targeting them

If NERC is assuming major solar and wind output to meet peak need, their findings are ridiculously unreliable. The combination of using wind and solar with merely average conditions makes this so-called reliability assessment...

Danish developer shrinks five-year investment plans by £3bn blaming policy and planning delays
