Wind Energy Catches On In Chile

It would a great exaggeration to say that Chile is “big” on wind energy. This renewable source of energy — which is now one of Europe’s biggest energy producers — currently accounts for only 2 Megawatts (MW) of Chile’s 12,700 MW of energy production capacities.
Still, it is fair to say that Chile is beginning to [...]

History of Using Wind Energy

We have been using the energy of the wind for thousands of years. There were boats propelled by wind sailing along the Nile River in 5000 B.C. By 200 B.C., there were simple windmills in China pumping water. At the same time Persian were using vertical-axis windmills with woven reed sails to grind grain.
People continued to find [...]

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 [...]
