The future of renewable energy might be in the sky. Researchers in China have reportedly tested a new, gravity-defying wind turbine system that they say could generate power from the airspace above ...

(AGL), winds are stronger and much, much more consistent than they are at surface. Even if the Earth were a perfect sphere, there’d be a sluggish boundry layer at ...

Imagine if renewable energy infrastructure created permanent waste streams. That’s wind energy’s uncomfortable reality: those massive turbine blades reaching end-of-life have nowhere to go but ...

The world’s largest wind turbine—currently being tested off the coast of China—has blades that are more than twice as long as a Boeing 777’s wingspan. It can generate 26 megawatts (MW) of energy, more ...

Eco anxiety is very real, so we share this year's most uplifting stories to prove there’s hope for our climate. View on euronews ...

Harnessing the wind is not a new idea. Picture any pioneer-era farm on the Great Plains, and you'll likely find a windmill used to pump groundwater to irrigate crops. Hundreds of American companies ...

We calculated restrictions on wind and solar energy projects by looking at the restrictions states and counties imposed on their development.

The simplest definition of wind is air in motion. Wind is generated by uneven pressure in the atmosphere, which is caused by uneven heating by the Sun, land, and oceans. The air closest to the ground ...
