This is a great site, I like all the pics you have. Wind energy is a super companion to solar. Combining wind energy and solar energy for homes can work great and save a lot of money. Keep up the good work.

Useful site!
Suggestions-
Show sources more clearly- Table looks like EIA or DOE.
For renewables show output per year as well as capacity. Good locations give up to nearly 50% annual output
(output in KWhrs over nameplate capacity in KW); poor locations much lower.
Wind generated electricity is unreliable. Experience in European countries indicates that its reliability is in the range of 15-20%. It also creates problems for transmisssion systems and base load power plants. Reduction in CO2 is not what the proponents like us to believe.
I think that we as a global population need to stop being so greedy and start helping one another make use of reusable resources because I strongly believe that we can really make difference. Why not put solar panels in arid deserts that get a lot of sun? Why not use countries that have excess land to produce methanol? Or a in a windy country develop wind farms?
I believe that developed countries should band together to help less developed counties convert their resources to usable ones. This could help to give lesser developed counties a exportable commode which could help them develop. By helping develop the world in a clean manner we are in essence lessening pollution, creating jobs, and reducing poverty. These all seem like bounces to me.
this is a great website for students doing projects! i should know bc im am in 6th grade and am doing a project on this! thanks for the info!
lovn science, at VA
True on what you saying but the ancient egyptians capture the wind to sail boats on the Nile River.
The first windmill known was in Persia and now called Iran.
If wind energy is a form of sun's energy, then why not going directly to the first energy source namely the sun.
wind turbines can produce more as much or more energy in a much smaller footprint than the equivelent amount of solar panels needed. Think big power, smaller package. However, the initial investment is usually higher but the proportion of scale allows the turbine to produce more power for less money. Problem is that turbines are restrictive of themselves due to their tower heights needed to overcome ground obsticles (See fluid dynamics, you are wrong if you think you can mount one on a home or below tree or hill lines) and civil ordinences severly restricting urban/sub-urban use. And for god's sake, do not ask about verticle axis turbines no matter what you read. simply pu without getting into the why is If billion dollar wind farm developers do not use them, there is good reason and you shouldn't either. No turbine design to date can beat the lifespan and generating capibilities of a traditional horizontal turbine.
I'm doing a science fair project on charging batteries with a windmill. This was such a helpful and useful site! I strongly believe that people should work together and use renuable energy. Thanks for the help. I learned a lot!

The statements on this site, are just that, Statements with no factual backing! Wind farms in the UK are producing at, on avareage, 15-20% of there potential output. They need conventional powerstations to provide power when their output drops due to lack of wind. These plants cannot be switched on and off as they are continuous processes. Therefore they still cost, even when not needed! The UK Government has enacted legislation to add huge surcharges to consumers electricite bills to pay for the exorbitant cost of wind power. Please, please use factual information, not slogans.
I work in a hydro dam in Washington State. When it is windy during the spring we stop the generators and spill extra water.
did you know?
* A single wind turbine can power 500 homes.
* Wind power is currently the fastest growing source of electricity production in the world
* wind mills have been used since 2000 B.C and was first developed in china and persia( iran)
* In 2012, the roughly 140 million megawatt-hours generated by wind energy avoided 79.9 million metric tons of carbon dixiode - the equivalent of reducing power- sector carbon dixiode emissions by 3.6% or removing 14 million cars from the roads.
* wind energy is one of the most low priced energy resouces;it does not cause pollution and is a very good source of energy as compared to others
