Facts About Wind Energy
Visit: http://www.windturbines.com/ Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form of energy, such as using wind turbines to make electrical power.Wind energy is the kinetic energy of air in motion, also called wind.Large wind farms consist of hundreds of individual wind turbines which are connected to the electric power transmission network. Europe accounted for 48% of the world total wind power generation capacity in 2009. In 2010, Spain became Europe's leading producer of wind energy, achieving 42,976 GWh. Germany held the top spot in Europe in terms of installed capacity. In 2010, more than half of all new wind power was added outside of the traditional markets in Europe and North America. This was largely from new construction in China, which accounted for nearly half the new wind installations (16.5 GW). Compared to the environmental impact of traditional energy sources, the environmental impact of wind power is relatively minor in terms of pollution. Wind power consumes no fuel, and emits no air pollution, unlike fossil fuel power sources. The energy consumed to manufacture and transport the materials used to build a wind power plant is equal to the new energy produced by the plant within a few months. While a wind farm may cover a large area of land, many land uses such as agriculture are compatible, with only small areas of turbine foundations and infrastructure made unavailable for use.

”7 in 10 people support wind power”. In some countries 10 in 10 support wind power with tax.

WIND FACT ........ Before the invention of the Steam Engine .......the whole world's Trade depended on Wind :-)
-
How can wind farms spoil the view when wind farms ARE the view?
-
So we only need to take into consideration the NIMBYs and Luddites!
-
TOOOOOO fast!!
-
Fact is .....We need days of "no wind " to build the Turbines !!! ......you can't crane anything in a Howling wind !!Another Fact :- First Test Turbines were 660 kw .........we are now above 7MW with Intelligent Turbines with on board Computers !!!In Denmark all Turbines are gradually being replaced by the bigger versions thereby reducing the numbers of Turbines and achieving better efficiency.As wave , pumped Hydro and Tidal come on stream there will be enough Backup not to mention Solar, Biomass etc ...........We don't need Hydrocarbons or Nuclear Fission at all !!!

What the various detractors (nimbys etc) fail to realise is that wind-turbine technology is now at the Ford Model T stage. How many years later did Ford design the Focus? We have to start somewhere; preferably before it becomes urgent!
-
Im sure you can build it too guys. Just look for InpliX page click the PIG and build it too
-
wind mills is a fraud..... its the new way to TAX consumers ,,..and politicians to steal millions..
-
Nice vid
-
"the UK is the windiest country in Europe" LOL, not anymore!
-
I'm using my old electric fan motor for my wind turbine.. and I got some awesome result..
-
The Wind Mills that General Electric built are a hoax and use electricity instead of producing a useful product they are wasting the space and materials.
-
good
-
Here are some facts: google on
"tysk el oktober 15" -
What program did they use to make the video? I want it.
-
These are the facts the source wants you to believe not all the facts you need to know.
-
6 months before energy parity... I don't believe it. Those numbers stink of manipulation. My money says they only took a fraction of the energy involved making that windmill into account.

OMICS International cordially invites all the participants from all over the globe to attend the “World Congress and Exhibition on Wind Energy” at Berlin, Germany during June 15 – 17, 2016 with the theme of “Future Wind Energy Technologies”. Wind energy is extracted from air flow using wind turbines to produce electrical power. Wind energy as an alternative to fossil fuels, is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation and uses little land. The effects on the environment are generally less problematic than those from other power sources.This conference is all about Planning, Operating, Grid integration, Aero dynamic noise cancellation, Urban wind Energy promotion, and future prospects of wind energy. Wind Energy – 2016 will also include advancing international knowledge transfer in Ice monitoring and early protections, challenges and case studies of wind energy.
