Scott Walker has found a way to chase off investors AND destroy alternative energy infrastructure. Wind-powered developer cancels plans to build in Wisconsin. NICE WORK GOP! http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/business/118397164.html 39 comments 23/3/2011 politics

Sailing into 2022 with wind-powered cargo ships. Sails, kites, wings and tubes are all set to appear on cargo vessels over the course of 2022, harnessing wind energy to reduce ships’ use of dirty diesel fuels. Experts count nearly two dozen new projects in the works. https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/sea-transport/sailing-into-2022-with-wind-powered-cargo-ships 22 comments 4/1/2022 energy

Conservative Think-tanks Launch Campaign to Turn Americans Against Wind Energy: Documents show for the first time that local anti-wind groups are co-ordinating and working with national fossil-fuel funded advocacy groups to wreck the wind industry. http://www.alternet.org/environment/155359/conservative_thinktanks_launch_campaign_to_turn_americans_against_wind_energy/?page=entire 2532 comments 11/5/2012 politics

Opinion | The Renewable Energy Revolution Has a Power Line Problem | To tap the potential of renewable energy, the United States needs to dramatically expand the electric grid between places with abundant wind and sunshine and places where people live and work. And it needs to happen fast. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/04/opinion/nepa-permitting-reform.html 5 comments 4/5/2023 climate

Inflation is at a 40-year high. Is clean energy the solution? It's an idea that economists and experts say could work — at least in the long-term. The argument is that while fossil fuels are inherently inflationary, clean energy sources like wind or solar power are inherently deflationary. https://grist.org/economics/inflation-is-at-a-40-year-high-is-clean-energy-the-solution/ 4 comments 15/3/2022 energy

The air around us contains energy. These researchers discovered that by placing the nanowires between electrodes they could generate a charge. They're calling the device the "Air-gen." Lovley says. "It works 24/7. It doesn't need the Sun. It also doesn't need wind. It can work indoors." https://www.inverse.com/innovation/researchers-figured-out-how-to-produce-electricity-from-the-air-around-us 8 comments 18/2/2020 energy

Can you guys please take my high school engineering survey for my senior EDD project. We’re working on developing portable/consumer wind energy for communication and low power source tech. https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=bzm8c9c5gkagb_3ye_ph_yujqriiuvjbkjvm1r89nuvumuntqkrgn1pquuhzovnivkdznkncttvunc4u 7 comments 7/10/2019 science

America's First Offshore Wind Energy Makes Landfall in Rhode Island | Five turbines are first of a proposed $50 billion regional build-out promising 11,000 jobs, but still a far cry from manufacturing capacity and work force in Europe. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/28042017/block-island-wind-farm-deepwater-wind-renewable-energy-climate-change 3 comments 1/5/2017 technology

Obama's Last SOTU: Strong on Climate and Energy | He pointed out that wind power is now cheaper than fossil fuels in many locations and that solar employs more people than coal.
