They’re in a fight that could shape wind power in Ontario,
billions of dollars of investment and the green reputation of Dalton
McGuinty’s Liberals. Two UWO academics are clashing over wind farms, each accusing the
other’s followers of demonizing their cause and bastardizing
science. A champion
Sir: Re: The article “Opinion split on wind farms, mayor
says” (The Observer, Aug. 28, 2010) I attended the Green Breeze Energy public information meeting for
the Brooke- Alvinston Wind Farm. Of the half-dozen or so wind
proponent meetings I have been to, I would have to say that this was

Kerr McGregor is being disingenuous when he suggests that people who object to onshore wind farms see coal and nuclear as the only alternatives (Letters, September 2). He knows as well as I do that there are renewables offering much more reliable and less environmentally damaging alternatives to
Colorado, with its high mountains and broad plains, has expansive wind resources. With an estimated six million acres of windy lands in Colorado, most of which are located on the eastern plains, Colorado ranks 11th in the United States in wind energy potential. To take advantage of its substantial renewable energy resources, Colorado has created a regulatory environment that makes it attractive to develop wind farms and other renewable energy projects within its borders.
As the number of wind farms increases in Ontario, so does the
controversy that surrounds them. It seems people either love them or
hate them. If all goes to plan for Samsung CT, the company will build and
operate a wind and solar cluster in South Cayuga. The Grand Renewable Energy Park is one of
ENERGY chiefs have signed off on a deal to create one of the country’s largest wind farms, it emerged last night. The Cloosh Valley site near Moycullen in Co Galway will supply electricity to more than 60,000 homes. The project will be located on lands owned by forestry firm Coillte – who will
The wind-energy industry exerted undue influence in setting new noise levels for the country’s wind farms, opponents of the standard say. Meeting minutes and voting papers of the Standards New Zealand committee on wind-farm noise, released under the Official Information Act (OIA), show: Six of 12
IT’S been claimed more than half of britain’s wind farms have been built where there’s not enough wind (Mail). These projects get paid only when they generate electricity. The windier the site, the more carbon-free power they will produce. Project developers have to find a balance between sites
Renewable energy production and demand growth is gaining momentum in many ways across the world. There is a booming demand of wind power today and all wind energy equipment manufacturers are gearing up to meet the demand and take advantage of it. Wind power capacity growth will be reaching 447GW in the next five [...]

This week the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (”PSC”) received a final report from the Wind Siting Council (”Council”) that outlined their recommendations to standardize statewide rules to site and permit wind farms. As required under 2009 Wisconsin Act 40 (”Act 40″), the PSC appointed the Council to research and discuss various wind energy siting issues and provide recommendations that the PSC will utilize as they work to develop final rules to site and permit wind farms.
