I stood inside a “wind turbine graveyard” – and it changed how I feel about green energy #TX Picture this: endless fields of massive white blades, twisted and stacked like forgotten giants under the Texas sun. I drove out to Sweetwater expecting a quick look at some old wind tech, but what I found hit differently. These weren’t just scrap; they told a story the green energy hype often skips. Stepping amid the piles felt eerie, like wandering a relic of good intentions gone messy. Let’s unpack what I saw and learned there. You might rethink a few . . .

(archive: 2014) Altering turbine speed reduces bat mortality at wind-energy facilities Wind-turbine operations are associated with bat mortality worldwide; minimizing these fatalities is critically important to both bat conservation and public acceptance of wind-energy development. We tested the effectiveness of raising wind-turbine cut-in speed – defined as the lowest wind speed at which turbines generate power to the utility system, thereby reducing turbine operation during periods of low wind speeds – to decrease bat mortality at the Casselman Wind Project in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, over a 2-year period. Observed bat mortality . . .

Ballynisky Green Energy Ltd sought planning permission from Limerick City and County Council to construct six wind turbines with an overall height of 158 metres near the village. The rotors are projected to measure 136 metres wide, while work to facilitate the wind farm would see around 3.4km of new site acces tracks constructed. The energy firm, which is based . . .
