![]() Make A Windmill – Shockingly Simple Ways To Profit From A WindmillA strange though I suppose but if you are wanting to take advantage of the free and natural resource that is the wind, then you might be interested to hear this. ![]() Free Energy Generator – Revealed What The Energy Companies Didn’t Want You To KnowEnergy prices are always rising and every year, we are always expected to pay even more money for our electric bills. Even more frustrating is when we constantly hear about the vast profits these companies are making. ![]() Defending the Underdog: The Bright Side of Energy-Saving CFL BulbsThe switch to energy-saving light bulbs is still a gradual one, and even promotional incentives and giveaways can't ameliorate the situation. The problem with CFL bulbs in particular is that many consumers remember the old days (and much earlier technology) when these lighting alternatives cast an eerie, blue-hued glow. Light quality matters, which is why newer, more efficient light bulbs are making their way into the mainstream. ![]() What is a Renewable Energy Credit?Renewable energy credits (RECs) are tradable certificates of proof that one MWh of electricity has been generated by a renewable-fueled source. ![]() What is a Production Tax Credit?As an essential driver in the wind industry, the PTC is an inflation-adjusted tax credit based on the energy produced by qualified renewable energy technologies. ![]() What determines the financial viability of a wind farm?The efficiency of wind turbines depends on various factors such as location, geographical factors, mechanics, and turbine design. ![]() Wind turbine physics: factors affecting performanceThe efficiency of wind turbines depends on various factors such as location, geographical factors, mechanics, and turbine design. ![]() How many turbines do you need for a 100 MW wind farm?With wind turbines ranging in different sizes, a 100 MW wind farm would approximately need 40 to 150 wind turbines. ![]() How much power is lost when transported to distant users?Several key factors limit electricity transmission, such as transmission distance, transmission size, material used to carry the electricity, and the location of transformers and capacitors. ![]() How will cap-and-trade affect wind energy?The "Cap and Trade" legislation, if passed, will only bolster the longevity of the wind industry. ![]() The cost efficiency of wind energyInnovation and growth in wind energy generation will ensure continuity in the trend of falling costs. ![]() Why is the government promoting wind energy?Due to economical, social, and environmental benefits that wind energy provides, the government is devoted to promoting wind energy in all possible ways. ![]() What is community based energy development?A Community Based Energy Development (C-BED) is a scheme which maximizes the use of local resources primarily for developing renewable energy projects. ![]() What are the visual impacts of wind farms?Wind turbines are large structures, however a cohesive turbine layout can alleviate the visual impacts of a wind farm. ![]() How much noise is generated by wind farms?Due to advancements in wind technology and mitigation efforts, wind turbine noise is less of an issue than ever before.
