The world’s longest wind turbine blade on the road to COP15!
See the worlds longest wind turbine blade undertake a journey from small-town Lunderskov to Danish capital Copenhagen where it will greet the world leaders at the COP15 Conference. Wind power works! That is one of the strong arguments from the wind industry at the COP15 conference in December 2009, symbolized by the physical presence of the world's longest wind turbine blade in serial production, the LM 61.5 P from LM Glasfiber. The blade is a demonstrable and clear evidence of the intensive development that has taken place within the wind industry. Just 25 years ago, the largest wind turbines had blades with a rotor diameter of 15 meters and were only capable of producing 50 kw of electricity. Today, the largest mass-produced wind turbine has a rotor diameter of 126 … Read entire article »

DIY Wind Power Generators & Turbines – Slash Your Energy Bills and Reduce Your Carbon Emmissions At the Same Time!
Wind power is an excellent weapon for fighting climate change because wind generation produces no carbon emissions at all. When you consider that every unit of energy generated by wind, is a unit of energy free of carbon pollution, wind makes sense. Producing just 10 per cent of electricity from renewables could cut carbon emissions by 2. 5 million tonnes a year. Small wind-electric systems can provide electricity to remote sites, or to houses that are also connected to the utility grid. But the prices! A small turbine can cost $US 2,000! A medium turbine $3,000! A large one can cost $8,500 - and that's without the rest of the equipment you will need, and installation costs! Although wind systems require some attention, if you build … Read entire article »
