Dix mille éoliennes … pour à peine 10 % d’électricité : ce que révèlent les chiffres #FRA [Wind power works differently: its production depends entirely on the wind. Some days, wind turbines produce a lot. Other days they produce very little, if at all.] L’éolien fonctionne différemment : sa production dépend entièrement du vent. Certaines journées, les éoliennes produisent beaucoup. D’autres jours, elles produisent très peu, voire pas du tout. La France compte aujourd’hui plus de 10 500 éoliennes réparties sur son territoire. Pourtant, malgré ce déploiement spectaculaire, l’éolien ne fournit qu’un peu plus de 10 % de l’électricité consommée . . .

Film industry in rural Kilkenny village could be in jeopardy if eight-turbine wind farm gets the green light #IRL Some residents of a rural community in south Kilkenny have joined forces to oppose the proposed construction of eight “mega” wind turbines in the area, with some of the turbines expected to stand as close as about 700 metres from family homes. Plans for the proposed Curraghmore Windfarm by Empower Renewables would see eight wind turbines constructed on elevated land at Mount Alto and along the ridge adjacent to the South Leinster Way, overlooking the picturesque Co Kilkenny village of . . .

Record wind output helps shield the UK from worst of Iran war fallout Record output from wind farms has helped boost total clean power supplies in the United Kingdom to new highs so far in 2026, and allowed power firms to pare use of fossil fuels to multi-year lows.

The Sunrise Project funnels millions from overseas to push net zero #AUS Revealed: How Australia’s richest environmental lobby group is using foreign millions to push renewable projects that are causing widespead destruction. Secretive Sydney-based charity The Sunrise Project has raked in hundreds of millions of dollars in donations from cashed-up overseas financiers to spearhead the push for net- zero emissions, allowing it to fill the coffers of Australian conservation groups turning a blind eye to mounting concerns about the environmental impacts of renewable energy projects. Investigations by The Australian reveal that conservation . . .

Has any country recently pivoted towards #renewables in the wake of the #IranWar?
It seems like most governments are just running around madly like chickens with heads chopped off and approve half-assed measures to reduce the price of gas for a couple of weeks. Instead of doubling down on #solar […]

Vestas has laid a "foundation for controlled growth" after a bumper first quarter of wind turbine orders boosted by major UK offshore deals, according to Danish banking giant Sydbank #windpower www.windpowermonthly.com/article/1953...

I never understood the anti-wind turbine mentality from those who don't work in (or in the pocket of) the fossil fuel industry.
They always seemed to be a better option to me!

(archive: 2014) Acoustic interaction as a primary cause of infrasonic spinning mode generation and propagation from wind turbines Abstract. Relatively balanced load related pressure waves from the rear surface of each rotor blade, are at a frequency of 1 per revolution of the turbine and are phase shifted by 120 degrees from each other. The superpositions of these infrasonic waves destructively interfere. This action results in a non-propagating rotor locked mode, however, the shielding (reflecting) effect of the tower as each blade passes, interrupts the balanced destructive interference for a small portion of rotor angle three times per . . .

Texas saw a $50B future in clean energy. Then the political winds shifted. Clean energy brought income to ranchers and to counties buffeted by boom-and-bust oil cycles. Federal policy changes threaten that momentum.

Expansive view of the flatlands of Colorado. Yellow-green prairie is eclipsed by a dramatic sky. Rain is on the horizon in the center of the photo, with dark blue-gray clouds reaching from the ground upwards and to the left. Slight clearing at the left-most horizon reveals heavy rain lines coming from the dark clouds above. The right side of the photo features a wind farm, with a relatively close turbine reaching from the horizon line to the top of the photo. Lined up behind it, two additional turbines create a diagonal line downwards to the center horizon line. The horizon to the right is lined with more distant turbines. The sky to the right of the closest turbine is partially clear, allowing the sun to create glare on the remaining lighter clouds.

Gone with the Wind.
