Hawaii is working on a pilot project using smart grid controls to balance out power loads during wind power fluctuations. The trailer for a documentary that purports to show the “dark side of wind power” plays more like propaganda. The Searaser takes a novel approach to wave energy generation. New owners Ecotricity – pioneers of wind power in Britain – are aiming for mass deployment in the next five years. Currently the US has only one offshore wind power project approved, and none built, while constuction pushes ahead in Europe and China. From record investments in energy investments made by US states, to East Africa’s largest wind power project, Chicago’s smart gridization, to Chevron’s huge fine being upheld, here’s what we’re reading today. Will a consumer label make you more likely to buy stuff built using wind power? In the next five years even middling wind power projects will produce electricity at a similar cost to natural gas. Which we should choose more of should be obvious Learn how Tony Hall fights for solar and wind power energy provisions at Capitol Hill; John Gofman investigates the effects of radiation; and Jim Channon starts The First Earth Battalion. |
