Norwegian oil company StatoilHydro will build the world's first deepwater floating wind turbine next year off Norway's coast, it said on Thursday.
When you think of wind power, you probably picture gigantic wind turbines spinning gracefully in the middle of large open areas.
If the future is to have scores of microgenerators hooked up to the national grid, power companies should pay us to erect wind turbines on our land
... flippers with one bumpy edge has inspired the creation of a completely novel design for wind turbine blades. This design has been shown to be more efficient and also quieter, but defies traditional ...
A British company is poised to construct the world's first floating wind turbine, in a move that could herald a new generation of cheaper, less problematic wind energy

Interest for wind turbines small enough to mount on a roof is spreading from coast to coast, even though their installation is hardly ever recouped in electricity savings.
... would be difficult to reconcile.
Previous studies by other researchers have concentrated on the impact of wind turbines on waterbirds and birds of prey. "Much terrestrial research into the effects ...
An Ottawa man thinks bylaws that make it illegal to put a wind turbine in his backyard are out-of-date.
(PhysOrg.com) -- A quiet wind turbine developed in Scotland is now available in the US and Canada. Its developers say that the roof-based turbine can provide significant power for homes and commercial ...
