Magnetically levitated wind turbine that can generate one gigawatt of power
More than 31,000 MW of new wind capacity was added worldwide in 2008, a record that can be described as an absolute milestone in the modern history of wind power development. Fortunately that build up — and the dip in overall wind market demand that [...]

Small-scale wind has been taking a beating lately, with local zoning ordinances throughout the United States that fly in the face of the technology.  People confuse small wind power in residential areas with big, commercial blades, and have concerns about noise and aesthetics, mostly.  An art project could solve that.

Researchers merged meteorological and wind-turbine modeling to map China’s wind-energy potential.  Potential output of 1.5 MW wind turbines is shown as a percentage of maximum output over time.
China has doubled its installed wind power capacity every year for the past five, and is on pace this year to supplant the Unied States as the world’s [...]
