The most renewable source of energy in Ireland is wind power. Ireland is a small island country situated at the very north west of Europe where the resource of wind is abundant. At 50 meters above ground level at all the 5 main points open plain‚ open sea‚ sea coast‚ hills and ridges and sheltered terrain Ireland has a significant amount of wind and wind resource which increases the potential for renewable energy generation. All this free wind could power schools and homes throughout Ireland.

Flying Wind Generators Flying wind generators are the future of wind energy. This article talks about the replacement of wind turbines for “windmills in the sky”. Instead of using the current wind turbines‚ Bryan Roberts‚ and engineer at University of technology in Sydney‚ Australia‚ decided to fly wind turbines into the jet stream 15‚000 to 45‚000 feet into the sky with winds up to 200 miles per hour. With 600 of these producing 20 megawatts each could power two Chicago sized cities. The

The Cumberland News Wind Farms in Cumbria The majority of the world uses non-renewable sources of energy for electricity and this is having a negative impact on the world. Fossil fuels generate most of our electricity but by using them‚ we create greenhouse gases while combusting them. Hence this contributes to global warming and is impacting the rest of the world. If the level of greenhouse gases keep on rising‚ the earth will get warmer; sea levels will rise and droughts will occur throughout

| | ADVANTAGES OF WIND POWER: | | | 1. The wind is free and with modern technology it can be captured efficiently. 2. Once the wind turbine is built the energy it produces does not cause green house gases or other pollutants. 3. Although wind turbines can be very tall each takes up only a small plot of land. This means that the land below can still be used. This is especially the case in agricultural areas as farming can still continue. 4. Many people find wind farms an interesting feature

WIND ENERGY Long time ago‚ ancient mariners used sails to capture the wind and explore the world. Farmers once used windmills to grind their grains and pump water. Today‚ more and more people are using wind turbines to wring electricity from the breeze. Over the past decade‚ wind turbine use has increased at more than 25 percent a year. Still‚ it only provides a small fraction of the world ’s energy. Therefore‚ wind power or wind energy is the energy extracted from wind using wind turbines to produce electrical

Aleksander Tucker 21 April 2013 ECS 310 Wind and Solar Power Wind and solar power are the future. They are clean‚ renewable‚ and infinite sources of energy and allow for energy to be produced domestically. They are also complimentary; Wind and solar energy will also be economically beneficial. Maintenance is easy‚ and long-term cost is a great advantage. Wind turbines and solar panels can also be very aesthetically attractive‚ and people can comfortably live around them. Human health risk is
