A German wind-power lobby raised its forecast for the country’s wind turbine installations this year after expansion in the first half was greater than anticipated. Germany will add 2,400 megawatts of turbines, up from the prior estimate of 2,200 megawatts, Alexander Sewohl, a spokesman at the German Wind Energy Association,...

Wind-power capacity will more than double by 2016 as growing installations in newer markets such as India and Brazil counter weakness in the U.S., where additions are set to decline next year, according to an industry lobby. “The single greatest factor affecting the global market in 2012 will be the...

Firstly, this is not a scam – this chap has invented a hydrogen-based car, so essentially a sort of fuel cell I reckon. What is not clear from the report is how the hydrogen is generated from water. The explanation that “the water-to-fuel system employs technology in which ‘hydrogen bonding’...

While the wind industry is indeed heaving a sigh of relief after knowing that banking has not been abolished (even though it now costs higher), the overall feeling from the current hikes in the associated costs of running wind power plants in Tamil Nadu is that it will make wind...

In Europe, out of a total of 4 million T of copper used in all industries, the wind industry will consume about 22000 T, says this report. And then it goes on to add that wind has come to copper industry’s rescue. Well, I guess it is fine to have...
