Report: US wind power tomorrow what coal power today
2015-03-13 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Christian Science Monitor: Wind is poised to provide almost as much power in 2050 as coal-fired power plants provide today, according to an Obama administration analysis released Thursday. Only 4.5 percent of US power currently comes from wind. How is such rapid growth in wind capacity possible? Falling costs for wind power are helping it compete with traditional fossil fuels, even without the government support that fostered the industrys development. And while so-called grid parity may exist in only a few regions now,...

Climate Central: Wind power in the U.S. has grown significantly over the last decade, with Americans using three times as much wind power as seven years ago and wind now provides about 4.5 percent of the nation's electricity. The U.S. Department of Energy believes those numbers can grow a lot more, projecting that wind turbines could supply as much as 35 percent of U.S. electricity by 2050.

Wind, 3 Italia in advanced talks over merger - report
2015-03-11 09:12:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Hutchison Whampoa and VimpelCom are in advanced negotiations about a possible merger of their respective Italian mobile phone units, 3 Italia and Wind Telecomunicazioni, according to unnamed sources cited by the Financial Times. The companies have been holding on-off talks since December 2013, with Wind's net debt level and the exact split of ownership representing the main hurdles to a deal. However, an agreement is now close according to two of the sources, which suggested that Hutchison could end with a slightly larger share of the merged group. Another person familiar with the talks said Hutchison's share could be around 51 percent, although a decision could be weeks away and there is no certainty that a deal will be agreed. Wind is currently the third largest mobile operator in Italy behind Telecom Italia (TIM) and Vodafone, with 3 Italia coming in fourth. A merger would create a company with around 33 million customers and annual revenues of some EUR 7 billion. Wind recently said it expects to close the EUR 693 million sale of its mobile tower unit to Spanish infrastructure company Abertis by the end of the month, and that it would use the proceeds from the sale to reduce its net debt.
