Building-Integrated Wind Turbines for Microwind Energy
Building-Integrated Wind Turbines
January 26, 2007
Blue Green Pacific is a renewable energy company that's working towards making microwind energy generation ubiqitous in the urban environment.
As an intial step, they've installed a small Windside turbine on a San Francisco residence. This is the first residental wind turbine installed in the city.
The heavily monitored, seashell shaped turbine is nearly silent, aesthetically unobtrusive, and does well in turbulent, shifty wind environments...

Environmentalists call for more wind power in Ohio
Environmentalists call for more wind power in Ohio
COLUMBUS, Ohio - New technology is allowing energy producers to capture speedier wind that environmental activists say has the potential to provide 20 percent of the state's electricity within 10 years.
What's new is a taller windmill that can catch gusts that are faster than those closer to the ground.

Northwest embraces wind for electricity needs
Northwest embraces wind for electricity needs
Blaine Harden, The Washington Post
PASCO - The Northwest is hardly alone as it chases the wind for clean power. Anxiety about climate change and surging demand for electricity have triggered a wind-power frenzy in much of the United States, making it the fastest growing wind-energy market in the world. Power-generating capacity from wind jumped 27 percent last year and is expected to do the same this year.
But it is in the Northwest where wind power, an often capricious source of electricity, meshes most seamlessly with the existing electricity grid, which relies heavily on hydroelectric dams, power managers say

Wind Energy Sweeping across Western Illinois
Wind Energy Sweeping across Western Illinois
By Stephen Elliott
What started with the Erie school district wind energy project has now exploded into a high-demand growth industry...Wind energy is being considered the panacea for all that ills some school districts and municipal governments. It is changing the way people think about future energy costs at hospitals and nursing homes.
It has given rural landowners incentives to lease property to companies seeking to harness wind energy to sell to large power companies. Some landowners are even working with private investors to put single towers on their properties....
