Wind Bags The company behind a highly controversial proposed wind farm off the coast of Cape Cod announced yesterday that the project could be 14 percent smaller than previously anticipated, thanks to technological improvements. Under the revised plan, Cape Wind Associates would build 130 rather than 170 wind turbines over 24 rather than 28 square miles of ocean. The resulting project would still p ...

Tilting at Windmills Activists are split on a proposed wind project off Cape Cod	Amanda Griscom	19 Dec 2002	Powers That Be
Look there, friend Sancho Panza, where 30 or more monstrous giants rise up, all of whom I mean to engage in battle and slay, and with whose spoils we shall begin to make our fortunes. For this is righteous warfare, and it is God's good service to sweep so evil a breed from off the face of the earth." "Look, your worship,'' said Sancho. "What we see there are not giants ...

A Blow to the Solar Plexus		09 Dec 2002	Daily Grist
A Blow to the Solar Plexus Renewable energy use in the U.S. dropped sharply in 2001, according to a new report by the Department of Energy. Much of that decline stems from a drought that cut hydroelectric power generation by 23 percent, but the DOE's Energy Information Administration also found that in 2001, solar equipment was retired faster than it was replaced. The bulk of ...

If You Drive Alone, You Drive With Saddam		22 Nov 2002	Daily Grist
If You Drive Alone, You Drive With Saddam For some U.S. citizens, solar panels, wind turbines, and fuel-efficient cars have become the ultimate patriotic statement. With a war looming in the Middle East, green groups are framing the cause of energy conservation in terms of national security. They are issuing reports, creating websites, and hitting the airwaves with the message that true se ...

Oh My Cod!		09 Oct 2002	Daily Grist
Oh My Cod! Cape Wind Associates has been given the green light on a project to build a data-collection tower that could lead to the largest renewable-energy plant in the United States -- 170 windmills off the coast of Cape Cod, Mass. The collection tower, opposed by locals for its possible harm to tourism and the environment, will collect information on air and water turbulence, the direction and veloci ...

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 ...

Gross Out		19 Jul 2002	Daily Grist
Gross Out If Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack (D) has his way, a part of his state's share of the national tobacco settlement will be used to fund alternative energy projects. 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 ...

Let It Blow, Let It Blow, Let It Blow Wind power is now cheaper than coal in the U.S., according to a study published in the journal Science. The study's researchers, two Stanford engineers, priced wind power at 3 to 4 cents per kilowatt hour, already competitive with the market price for coal power. After factoring in health and environmental costs, they put the true price for coal power at 5.5 to 8.3 cents per kilowatt hour. For wind p ...

There's Something in the Wind Farmers are reaping rewards from wind energy	Lester R. Brown	21 Aug 2000	Soapbox
Farmers and ranchers in the United States are discovering that they own not only land, but also the wind rights that accompany it. A farmer in Iowa who leases a quarter acre of cropland to the local utility as a site for a wind turbine can typically earn $2,000 a year in royalties from the electricity produced. In a good year, that same plot can produce $100 worth of corn. Double your pleasu ...
