And you thought by 'football' in my title I meant football? Pssh. I do love me some obscure European soccer news. So with no further ado: Scottish soccer team powers its stadium floodlights with wind power! Swiss soccer team has the world's largest stadium-integrated photovoltaic system on the roof of the Stade de Suisse Wankdorf Bern! Heh heh. Wankdorf.

Wind Power Cards, Whole Foods, and you Are the wind credit cards deceptive?	David Roberts	04 Nov 2006	Gristmill
A kerfuffle has broken out in the green blogosphere. The state of play thus far: Steve Johnson noticed the new "Wind Power Card" from Renewable Choice Energy, available now at a Whole Foods near you. He is not a big fan: When you buy a card, you don't get any wind-generated electricity delivered to your home however. In fact, all you get is a card that doubles as a refrigerator magnet. Actually, you don't even get any credits, it's just a word they ...

Showin' in the Wind Could a wind-energy art exhibit shape public opinion?	Mark Baard	13 Jun 2006	Arts and Minds
As an artist, Mark Beesley is drawn to subjects that others might find repellant. Beesley lives only a few miles from the Sizewell nuclear power station in Britain, and has occasionally made the plant the subject of his work. Despite his opposition to nuclear power, Beesley admits to a fascination with the plant's design. "When you drive by it, you see this semicircular dome looming over t ...

Breaking Wind U.K. Military Accused of Thwarting Wind-Power Development		01 Mar 2004	Daily Grist
Breaking Wind U.K. Military Accused of Thwarting Wind-Power Development The U.K. Ministry of Defense is blocking efforts to expand wind energy in the country, said a group of top scientists today. The MoD objected to 48 percent of applications to build land-based wind turbine farms in 2003 because it doesn't want turbines within 46 miles of air defense radar installations. While the MoD ...

Windy Cities		27 Jan 2003	Daily Grist
Windy Cities Wind power is usually generated in vast, open spaces -- mountaintops, prairies, or offshore in shallow waters. But the Netherlands is taking wind power to new heights, literally: the rooftops of buildings in metropolitan areas. With light, quiet, efficient designs that often blend into the surrounding architecture, these urban windmills are built to take advantage of the severe t ...

Bird Slaw		22 Jul 2002	Daily Grist
Bird Slaw Compared to traditional energy sources (coal, oil, natural gas), wind energy seems like an environmentalist's dream come true: It doesn't pollute the air, land, or water, and it's infinitely renewable. Indeed, wind energy has a reputation as being one of the greenest energy sources out there. So why are environmentalists trying to put a stop to the constr ...

On Wednesday, Vilsack suggested spending $50 million of the $438 million settlement to help cities in Iowa build renewable energy plants such as wind turbines. The governor said his goal was to develop statewide energy resources, reduc ...
