Wind Energy

Wind Energy in the form of Wind Farms 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. Find links to posts about new projects from various countries around the world on this page. Governments, scientists, engineers, philanthropists, communities, and individuals are all driving this vitally important renewable energy source. To help and inspire, we want to do all that we can to share news and developments within the industry, so more can embrace the wind energy industry on a small or large scale.
