SD House axes wind energy tax revenue sharing plan (AP via Yahoo! Finance)

The South Dakota House defeated a bill to give townships a slice of the wind energy tax that now goes to counties for wind farms located within their borders.

The REAL Cost Of Wind Energy

It is safe to say that wind energy is essentially free energy. It comes from the heating effect of the earth’s surface by the sun. This heating effect is irregular because of the uneven surface of the earth. It therefore gives rise to airstreams that move between the cooler zones and the hotter zones. This [...]

Wind Power Generators – A Realistic Alternative

With the world starting to shift toward green living many are looking into conserving energy. Many people think of solar panels first as this is the most common choice for residential customers. I don’t know about you, but in my area of the world the wind is always blowing. Nothing compliments solar panels than a [...]

What is a Wind Turbine ?

Dotted across landscapes throughout the world, one can now see small, stick-thin structures with three spokes poking out from the central column. These structures are alarming, and almost sinister, the first time you see them. The world now recognises them as wind turbines, and their presence in the modern world is becoming more apparent.
Wind turbines [...]

Solar Energy…when Will it be Affordable to the Average Homeowner?

Introduction:

Global warming impact to our quality and cost of living is large and very catastrophic. Homeowners are well aware of the increasing energy costs to heat, cool and illuminate their homes. The increasing costs of oil and other fossil fuels are daily headlines. The insatiable demand for energy to fuel world growth guarantees that the [...]

Wind Energy

Wind energy is a converted form of solar energy. The sun’s radiation heats different parts of the earth at different rates—most notably during the day and night, but also when different surfaces (for example, water and land) absorb or reflect at different rates. This in turn causes portions of the atmosphere to warm differently. Hot [...]

Facts About Solar Energy

Solar energy consists of the light and heat emitted by the sun, in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
With today’s technology, we are able to capture this radiation and turn it into usable forms of solar energy – such as heating or electricity.
Although one could go into technical dissertations on the subject of electromagnetic [...]

Wind Power Generators – All Natural Power Plants

While the technology for using wind power has been with us for thousands of years, the use of this alternative power source for the generation of electricity has never really gone mainstream. Coal and natural gas-fired power plants are efficient and convenient, but they use fossil fuels, and these fuels are definitely finite resources. Wind [...]
