The 21st century can count on wind power’s incredible capacity, say scientists
“Historically, wind turbines are placed on Earth’s surface, but high-altitude winds are usually steadier and faster than near-surface winds, resulting in higher average power densities,” said the study, called Geophysical limits to global wind power. A new US scientific study released in the past few days reveals that wind energy’s vast potential could more than … Continue reading The 21st century can count on wind power’s incredible capacity, say scientists

Wind energy could meet many times world’s total power demand by 2030
In 2030, if all energy is converted to clean energy, humans will consume about 11.5 terawatts of power every year, all sources combined. If there is to be a clean-energy economy based on renewable energy, wind power will no doubt have to help meet much of that demand. In a new study, researchers at Stanford … Continue reading Wind energy could meet many times world’s total power demand by 2030

Wind energy could meet many times world’s total power demand by 2030
Wind energy could provide up to half the world’s power supply with little environmental impact, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Delaware and Stanford University. The study debunks previous assessments that suggested wind wouldn’t be a feasible way to power much of the world’s grid due to environmental and power … Continue reading Wind energy could meet many times world’s total power demand by 2030

Wind energy can power the world, says two new studies
The potential is there, if we can build enough wind turbines,” said co-author of the PNAS study Mark Z. Jacobson, a civil and environmental engineer at Stanford. Wind power is up to the challenge of providing more-than-enough energy for global society, according to two new and unrelated studies. Both studies, one published in Nature Climate … Continue reading Wind energy can power the world, says two new studies

Wind energy can meet global energy demands
As the number of wind turbines increase, the amount of energy that is extracted increases. But at some point, the winds would be slowed so much that adding more wind turbines will not generate more electricity. Using models, the team was able to determine that more than 400 terrawatts (TW) of power could be extracted … Continue reading Wind energy can meet global energy demands
