Live in a wind turbine? Now you can! With the Tiny house, Vattenfall demonstrates how materials can be reused in innovative ways.

A Windturbine recorded with two contact microphones at the bottom. They mainly picked up the sound from engine inside the turbine, and not the rotor blades full recording available on bandcamp: https:

Mega Windforce werkt aan een innovatief ontwerp voor windturbines dat tot doel heeft windenergie goedkoper te maken.

Terwijl de prijs voor zonne- en windstroom op de energiemarkt sterk schommelt, krijgt De Windvogel een vaste prijs van 8 cent per kilowattuur voor stroom uit windturbine de Gouwevogel in Gouda. Dat is te danken aan onze deelname aan de Schiedamse energiegemeenschap Zorgzaam Samen. Deelnemers van dit collectief kopen en verkopen sinds januari onderling stroom.…

East Riding of Yorkshire Council has refused an application for the turbines, each reaching 488ft (about 150m) high, near Burton Agnes, over concerns for the landscape and local residents. Carol Bliss, a local artist and campaigner against the plans, said: "We're glad that common sense has been brought to bear." Richard Barker, project manager for developer Ridge Clean Energy, said he was "disappointed" with the decision after the company went "above and beyond" to engage with communities over the proposals. Plans for the Three Oaks Renewable Energy Park were submitted to the council in July last year, and would have combined the turbines with an already approved solar farm. Residents raised concerns about the visual impact of the park, but the developers said it would have no adverse impact on the character of the wider landscape and would produce renewable electricity for 24,000 local homes. The council's decision notice said the development would have had a "negative impact" on heritage sites nearby, such as Burton Agnes Hall, as well as the potential of causing "unacceptable harm" to any archaeological remains in the area. The proposed turbines could also have had "unacceptable adverse effects on visual amenity for the proposed location...

Current conditions: Churning off Mexico’s west coast, Tropical Storm Vance is strengthening into the 11th major hurricane to hit the eastern Pacific this year • A magnitude 7 earthquake that struck a remote corner of northeast Tibet killed at least 18 people and injured dozens more • A series of offshore storms in the Atlantic are hammering the East Coast with dangerous swells. THE TOP FIVE 1. Trump whiffs on tariffs on wind turbine components President Donald Trump issued a proclamation Thursday declaring that imported wind turbines and their parts “threaten to impair the national security of the United States,” affirming the findings of an investigation the Department of Commerce opened last summer. But the White House stopped short of imposing the tariffs the agency recommended. It’s tempting, of course, to interpret the White House’s decision to punt on tariffs as a concession to win Democratic votes in Congress for the bipartisan infrastructure deal. In keeping with Trump’s famously chaotic negotiating style, the Department of Justice in the past week reopened permitting decisions on two major offshore wind farms while the Pentagon advanced two of the droves of onshore wind projects amid the bureaucratic blockade that has stymied the sector...

Niet enkel in Wervik is er protest tegen een geplande windturbine met een tiphoogte van 200 meter hoog. Ook in Zonnebeke zien ze de komst van de windmolen niet zitten. "Dit bevestigt onze vrees dat men langs de A19 een windmolenparadijs wil creëren", stelt burgemeester Koen...
