If you’ve driven south out of Pueblo in the last year, you’ve probably noticed the giant wind turbine sitting east of the highway. That’s the Vestas Pueblo plant. Continuing Wednesday’s visit by Danish wind energy giant to The Broadmoor, where it was trying to win over more than 150 investors and
Wind energy manufacturing may be sailing into the lakeside
city. A special meeting of council will be held on Wednesday to review and
discuss a staff report regarding a private industrial cluster
development centred around green industry. Council recently passed the final report approving the
Although Colorado Springs has so far been unable to attract any renewable energy manufacturers to the area, Danish wind energy giant Vestas made a visit on Wednesday to hold a conference for financial analysts at The Broadmoor. Vestas Wind Systems operates three large manufacturing facilities in
Recent data and analyses have made it clear that the emissions savings from adding wind energy to the grid are even larger than had been commonly thought. In addition to each kilowatt-hour (kWh) of wind energy directly offsetting a kWh that would have been produced by a fossil-fired power plant, new analyses show that wind plants further reduce emissions by forcing the most polluting and inflexible power plants offline and causing them to be replaced by more efficient and flexible types of generation.
R. Balaji Tamil Nadu success in the field of wind energy is a given, with more than 5,000 MW of generation capacity in place and more in the pipeline, it is a success story that is oft repeated. But the point in renewable energy sector is that the State is set to repeat this success in other
DAYTON — The sudden loss of UltraCell Corp. as a local fuel cell manufacturer still leaves a core of expertise for the technology in the Dayton area and across Ohio, according to officials. Although there is vigorous competition for funding to develop wind energy, photovoltaics and other
SIR – Nigel Baker’s claims (Letters, Aug 9) about wind energy are really becoming wearisome. Those honest members of the public he labels Nimby have mostly been converted to Namby (not in anyone’s back yard) now that the futility of these useless, noisy, intrusive, ugly, unreliable and costly wind
Re: Why wind power is more complicated than people imagine, Aug. 8 Wind power is complicated only in North America, where people worry too much about potential difficulties. It is not complicated in India, the fifth-largest producer of wind energy in the world. It is not complicated in
With challenges continuing to plague traditional manufacturing sectors in the U.S., many observers are looking to new industries, such as wind energy, to revitalize the manufacturing base. The wind industry, in fact, has already done much to bolster such hopes. As the U.S. wind market has grown, so has the wind industry’s commitment to developing a domestic supply base and creating new American jobs, with employment growing seven-fold since 2005. Today, well over 240 U.S. facilities supply to the wind industry, and thousands of announced manufacturing jobs are in the pipeline.
What some tout as the nation’s biggest wind power plant broke ground last week in the Mojave Desert, where its developers hope to one day spin enough giant wind turbines to equal the generating capacity of three nuclear power plants. The Alta Wind Energy Center being built by Terra-Gen Power of New
