| | Technology Smooths the Way for Home Wind-Power Turbines | | 2008-04-15 00:31:49 | | By JOHN CASEY
Wind turbines, once used primarily for farms and rural houses far from electrical service, are becoming more common in heavily populated residential areas as homeowners are attracted to ease of use, financial incentives and low environmental effects.
No one tracks the number of small-scale residential wind turbines — windmills that run turbines to produce [...] | | By: ArticlesModern | | |

| | The Wind Power and Solar Power Combination | | 2007-04-19 02:20:00 | | Part 4 in a series.Wind power is much like solar power; it’s a renewable resource, it’s pollution free during use, it can be stored locally, etc. But that means it also has many of the same disadvantages that solar power has—it’s not always there, during construction it may require fossil fuels, etc. But wind power and solar power combined together could be extremely useful.Usually when the sun is shining, it’s not very windy. When the sun isn’t shining, generally it is windy.Think about it. During storms when the sun is covered up (see picture), it is usually very windy. If wind power and solar power were united, energy could be produced almost continuously. One way this could be accomplished is by putting solar panels in the same area as wind turbines. Because of the massive size of wind turbines, they take up great swaths of land. The land in between the turbines should be used for agricultural purpose, some people have suggested. Instead, imagine putting solar panels in | | By: Thoughts on the World | | |
