Last week Britain has taken the lead in terms of off-shore wind parks: Thursday the world’s biggest ocean wind park has gone on the net. The electricity produced will deliver enough for approximately 200.000 households. This means the race for world-leadership in wind energy has been taken onto a new level. In order to become [...]
Walter Kohn, Ph.D., a Nobel Laureate, expects direct wind and solar power to become the world’s main sources of energy over the next decades. The last decade has already seen an increase of factor 90 for solar and factor 10 for wind energy. This new Sol/Wind era is brought about by the need to satisfy [...]
