An Arizona State University student has 
a novel design to mount HORIZONTAL wind turbines on overhead highway signposts. By modifying the existing signposts they can be become wind energy sources. See mocked up picture at RIGHT >>>
Desert based wind turbines will deliver their power via the new 4,500 MW Tehachapi
transmission lines to Southern California Edison. …
… “Renewable energy developer Terra-Gen Power is constructing the site in several phases and we’ll provide $55 million to finance the 102 MW Alta IV project. Citibank, which has underwritten the equity for Alta Projects II-V, is also investing in this project.” …
Oahu could shift a significant portion of its energy requirements to solar and wind if
improvements are made to address variability in renewable power generation, such as wind forecasting, ramp rate management, weather monitoring, load control, and fast-start generators. …
Altaeros found a way to capture the wind energy available at higher altitudes. They use a helium filled "ring-wing" to bring a turbine to altitude and keep it stable.
They were a semi-finalist in the 2010 Clean Energy Contest sponsored by MIT.
" … producing clean power at a cost that is competitive with non-renewable resources."
by GE to support implementation of taller towers. The tower technology has been optimized for more efficient installation and transportation. …
… “The space frame tower technology is a highly engineered and optimized structure that will handle the unique static and dynamic loads generated by wind turbines.
GE will supply wind turbine technology for renewable energy projects in Romanian wind farms. …
… “Developing wind farms is a cornerstone of Romania’s effort to reach its renewable energy commitment to the European Union.
The target is to have 24 percent of its energy produced from renewable resources by 2020.
concepts designed by Cornell Professor Francis Moon, a mechanical engineer. The wind panels integrate with piezoelectric material to convert the mechanical energy into
electricity. The research project requires a multi-disciplinary collaboration of experts in nonlinear vibrations,
fluid mechanics, computer fabrication, sensor mechanics, and architectural design. …
Today is the last day of the North American Offshore Wind Conference & Exhibition in Atlantic City, NJ. It is an appropriate location as there are wind turbines in Atlantic City.
" … only event of its kind that truly brings together the thought-leaders of the wind industry for a dialogue on offshore wind development …"
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar grants first lease for an offshore wind farm in federal waters to Cape Wind. …
" … West Texas total 9,300 megawatts of capacity, … trapped in Texas due to the state’s grid configuration."
West Texas has lots of wind and wind farms – and no good way to get this energy to the South East US. Pattern Energy is looking to build a 400 mile transmission line to the Atlanta area from " … the nation’s No. 1 wind state."
