Wind Energy

Wind Energy has developed into a strong resource among renewable energy technologies from giant wind farms on land and sea to solutions for individuals and everything in between. Below are some links that pertain to various developments in wind power technology in all shapes and sizes. We will also highlight new projects from various countries around the world. Governments, scientists, engineers, philanthropists, communities, and individuals are all driving this vitally important renewable energy source and we want to do all that we can to share the news and inspire anyone we can to embrace the wind energy industry on a small or large scale.
