SA to invest $1.2bn in wind energy
Home Wind Energy: Will it Survive Your Own Cost-Benefit Analysis? />Thinking about installing a Wind Energy system, but not sure if the payback period on your investment meets your financial needs? I began thinking about this question last week when our old friend (and my real old friend) bobbyb sent me an article about a couple who’d installed a Wind turbine at their home in Great Britain. He noted that the numbers provided in the article (a £20,000 initial outlay for £500/year Energy savings) didn’t make financial sense: “That’s a forty-year payback period!” He’s right… that kind of cost-benefit analysis doesn’t really work. If you’re going to put up tens of thousands of dollars for a Wind system (or a solar Energy system), you probably want to see a return on that ... Read more
SA to invest $1.2bn in wind energy Irish company Mainstream Renewable Power has signed a €850-million (about R11-billion) joint venture deal with South African firm Genesis Eco-Energy to build Wind farms to generate an initial pipeline of over 500 MW of Energy in the Eastern, Northern and Western Cape provinces by 2014....

Emission Free: 5 Huge Renewable Energy Projects to Watch For /> In February, President Obama called for a doubling of the US renewable Energy capacity within three years. Yesterday, Obama visited a Wind Energy company in Newton, Iowa and again emphasized the importance of new forms of power generation: “Now, the choice we face is not between saving our environment and saving our economy. The choice we face is between prosperity and decline. We can remain the world’s leading importer of oil, or we can become the world’s leading exporter of clean Energy.” With billions in stimulus dollars heading toward improving the electricity grid and building sustainable Energy infrastructure, emission-free power may be coming to your neighborhood sooner than you think. Here are five of the biggest, most amb... Read more
Spain Approves New Offshore Wind Power Farm />Earlier this week Spain’s government approved a map of offshore areas to lease for Wind Energy development. This move will help Spain to further cement its status as an alternative Energy giant. Spain is already the world’s #3 Wind power producer (it trails the U.S. and Germany) and is also the world’s #2 producer of solar power (only behind Germany). Until now, Spain has not used its extensive coastline to develop Wind power in a significant way. Read more of this story »... Read more
Wind Turbine Output Boosted 30% by Breakthrough Design /> Passive structure design of “Wind Energizer” by Leviathan Energy reportedly increases Wind turbine efficiency 30% in field tests. Technological advancements in Wind Energy efficiency have generally come incrementally and usually made via a process of increasingly large Wind turbine blades. Put simply, the model has been: longer blades = more output per turbine. But that pattern of incremental improvements may be a thing of the past if Leviathan Energy has anything to say about it. Leviathan Energy has completed initial testing on their Wind Energizer unit and is reporting gains in Wind turbine output in the ballpark of 30% — and as much as 150% at lower Wind speeds. The principle theory at work is that by placing passive objects around a ... Read more
Leviathan Launches US Sales Efforts for Wind Energizer />Diversified renewable Energy solutions provider Leviathan Energy announced today that it will officially commence US sales and marketing efforts for the Wind Energizer, its patented technology for increasing the power output of large Wind turbines. Speaking from the American Wind Energy Association’s annual conference and expo in Chicago, CEO of Leviathan Energy, Dr. Daniel Farb, said he expects “that with the very fast return on investment the Wind Energizer can deliver, sales will be quite strong.” Read more of this story »...

Join the buzz start by establishing your own renewable energy today, Earth 4 Energy recently published eBook entitled Earth4Energy earth 4 Energy bonus has produced quite a buzz on the internet over recent weeks.The book is about something that is basically quite simple — using Wind power and solar Energy in your own home to yield electricity. Already there are people making use of these technologies, so why has the book been acceptable with such open arms? The main cause is that, up until now, solar power and Wind Energy have been quite cost preventive. Generally, they have only been setup by individuals who were either in areas with no secure electricity supply or by environmentally aware individual/people with big chequebooks. With the price of home Energy beginning to skyrocket — helped in no part by the high fossil fuel pr... Read more
