26,400 turbines to wean Britain off its carbon habit

By Michael Savage, Political Correspondent

Revolutionary plans for a massive expansion of offshore wind farms have been unveiled in a £100bn project designed to usher in a new era of green energy for Britain.

A quarter of the country's electricity needs would be met through wind power by 2020 under the strategy, with the construction of 6,400 turbines within nine sites dotted around the coast. The programme amounts to the biggest energy supply shake-up since the discovery of the North Sea oil and gas fields more than 40 years ago.

Enough wind power to blow us away: build the transmission lines

Posted on 03 Oct 2009

A new study claims that there is 16 to 20 times more wind power avaiability in the USA than is needed to generate all the electricity used, says Michael Goggin of the American Wind Energy Association.
He also introduces us to negative electricity prices (minus US$10 to minus US$20 per Megawatt Hour), courtesy of environmental ‘incentives’.  Pro-active construction of transmission lines will sort out the paradox of negative energy prices.

1500 gigawatts of wind power by 2020 and potentially much higher still

Posted on 04 Sep 2009

Faster and faster, renewable energy from wind power is becoming a means to global conservation. By 2020, 1500 Gigawatts of Wind energy capacity will be installed worldwide estimates Heinz Dahl of the World Wind Energy Association, and wind capacity could go much further than that still! Heinz also discusses the use of hydro and geothermal power to firm up wind power generation, and a new project in the U.S.
