Wind Farms Archives

I'm concerned because I have a vacation home on the beach and the govt is planning to build an offshore wind farm nearby.I'm also worried about the impact on my view. I figure this may not be quite as bad for the real estate value in the future as I might think now because of changing attitudes. But the noise would be a disaster.
Please only answer if you truly have experience with these blights.

Just wanna know your reasons why you are in favor or not in favor of wind farm installation in your area. Thanks in advance for your answers!

this illustrates which concept :-
a market system
macroeconomics
competition
opportunity cost

Many of the birds are protected species as well but somehow, its ok. Golden Eagles. ,000 fine and up to 5 years in the pen for shooting one but 200 are killed at 1 CA wind farm per year. Where is the EPA on this one?

Oil drillers are fined, wind farms are not. Oil drillers cover their equipment with nets now and have very few bird deaths.
No I didn't hug a tree but I did feed the birds.

A question about wind farms?

Positives and negatives about Wind Farms

Why do we need wind farms/wind turbines?

please tell me?
please tell me in detail.....
Why?How?What For?

Which are advantages of wind farms?

A) wind turbines are non-polluting
B) the price of wind power is competitive
C) wind is constantly blowing
D) wind is sustainable
E) all excluding C

It turns out, Kennedy's antipathy to furtive rules changes and backroom power plays stops at the water's edge -- specifically, the waters of Nantucket Sound, which separates Cape Cod (where the Kennedy family has an oceanfront compound in Hyannis Port) from the islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. A shoal in the center of Nantucket Sound is where Cape Wind Associates hopes to build the nation's first offshore wind farm -- an array of 130 wind turbines capable of generating enough electricity to meet 75 percent of the Cape and Islands' energy needs, without burning any oil or emitting any pollution. The turbines would be miles from any coastal property, barely visible on the horizon. In fact, Cape Wind says they would be farther away from the nearest home than any other electricity generation project in Massachusetts.

where are some good locations for wind farms?

The annual electrical energy demand is 300,000,000 KWh. Is it possible to build a wind farm that could provide electricity throughout the year? If so, how many wind mills will be required to build the wind farm. Average wind speed is 15 mph. A state-of-the-art windmill has a rotor blade length of 75 m and the practical efficiency of a wind mill is 40%.

OK. I'm looking for the website so my friend and I can figure out the prices for Riding Lessons.
Ok. The stable is a public riding stable, but you can board horses there and what not. It's located is Summerville South Carolina, and when it turns up on serch engines, it does not give the web address. I don't know what site it is, but I really need to find out.

what are different types of wind generators?

i am looking forward all kinds of generators which can be used in wind turbine(wind farms).
i search about real types and industrial of generators, not mankinds or labratoars ones.
thank you

what are the plans for wind farms in barbados?

please

How many wind turbines / farms are there?

I need to know many wind turbines / farms there are, preferably in the UK but world-wide would be OK too.

Also, does anybody know how many of these are at sea?

Thanks,

How to estimate the power output per square km of the wind farm?

Thanks!12

I was just wondering if anyone might know of any regulations or requirements to put up a small to medium sized wind farm in Alaska and if so where can I get the information about it?

I've got homework to do and want to know how many wind farms (not offshore) are in Denmark.

Wind Farms Environmentally Beneficial?

I have a debate coming up about the Wolfe Island Wind Turbine Project (The second largest wind farm in Canada). The debate is whether or not the Wolfe Island Wind Project, as well as wind turbines in general, are beneficial to the environment or not.

I know there are the simple answers that wind power is renewable and that it doesn't generate any pollution (except in production it does). What I am looking for (without much success) are the BIG reasons why wind turbines overall benefit the environment (looking at environmental, economical, social reasons, possibly compared to other types of energy). Can anyone help? Links to websites would be awesome as well.

How easy is it? To finance a commercial wind farm of about, say 10MW? And what would the bank require to approve such a project? Any companies (in South East Asia) you know which provide such loans? These info are for a small project i'm working on...

Ultra-green Denmark admits it has no idea what to with a worrisome mountain of old and broken wind turbine blades. The composite material can’t be recycled.
So now what.

@bibasa. You did read the story. The things are made of fiberglass that can't be recycled or dumped in landfills
@KP Who makes road out of fiberglass

science stuff:(

do taxpayers pay for wind farms?

hi, I'm writing an essay for school on whether South Australia should be using wind farms to generate electricity, and I wanted to know if the money it takes to put up wind turbines comes out of taxpayers pockets?

Help is greatly appreciated,

Chelsea.
