ScienceDaily: Computer simulations by Professor Mark Z. Jacobson have shown that offshore wind farms with thousands of wind turbines could have sapped the power of three real-life hurricanes, significantly decreasing their winds and accompanying storm surge, and possibly preventing billions of dollars in damages. For the past 24 years, Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford, has been developing a complex computer model to study air pollution, energy, weather and climate....

Wind Turbines Could Tame Hurricanes

2014-02-26 19:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

RedOrbit: In addition to providing a renewable source of energy and reducing societys carbon footprint, wind turbines may provide the added benefit of taming the power of a hurricane. According to a new study in the journal Nature Climate Change, thousands of offshore wind turbines could diminish hurricanes` wind speeds, wave heights and storm surge. "We found that when wind turbines are present, they slow down the outer rotation winds of a hurricane," said study author Mark Z. Jacobsen, a professor...
