Google said it has signed a 10-year deal to buy renewable energy from three new wind farms that are being built in Finland and which will power one of its data centers.

“In a growing number of locations, the cost of new renewable energy is competitive with the cost of power from the grid,” Marc Oman, Google’s head of EU energy, said in a blog.

The combined capacity of the three farms will be 190 megawatts (MW) and will be built by renewable energy developers Neoen of France and…

He then helped by aiming a leaf blower on the turbines, causing them to whir quickly.…

Dear Ms. Burgess:

Several Western New York Boards of Health have been engaged in wide public interest and general concern over the proposal by APEX to construct industrial turbines in Western New York counties. These counties are members of the Western New York Public Health Alliance (WNYPHA), and our members share that concern. These…

One Sheldon resident told me directly that he and his wife heard loud “Boom, boom, boom’s”, as they watched TV, mistakenly thinking they were distant fireworks. It turned out to be a single IWT located west of North French Road, south of 20A, off in a farmer’s field. A second Sheldon resident confirmed that the noise sounded like something breaking apart for about two hours’ duration. Each turbine has a high-voltage transformer at its base and a generator with a gearbox in the nacelle at the…

Don Henderson drives around taking photographs of Iowa, but this was a first, what he called “a very unlucky windmill” smoldering in the distance on Sunday.

He said a wind turbine four miles south of Zearing off U.S. Highway 65 was damaged by the tornadoes that ripped through Iowa earlier this summer, leaving one blade dangling. Then, lightning struck it during the storms this weekend.

He was there Sunday to capture the images of the smoking turbine, and thousands of people…

The wind industry exists for only one reason: the game has been rigged on its behalf. Unfortunately, such rigging is rampant throughout America. Very simply, we've devolved into two types of Americans - insiders and outsiders, with most of us being the latter and most of the wealth going to the former. It's one thing if you earn it but quite another when you steal it. Paying off the government to pass legislation that will make you incredibly rich at the expense of honest hardworking…

SunCommon of Vermont commissioned Synapse-Energy to perform a study that would show the benefits of before-the-meter (BTM) solar. The study shows there were almost $20 million of benefits for all of New England, about $1.3 million for Vermont during the very sunny period of July 1 to July 7; that period had very little wind, and thus almost no wind generation.

That joyous news was released with much fanfare, plus admonitions from SunCommon not to reduce solar…
