Officials crack down on wind farms that kill birds, bats
2015-01-30 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
USA Today: From a mile away, the sleek rows of wind turbines turn lazily in the stiff morning breeze, the rising sun glinting off their shiny fiberglass blades. Their size - many turbines tower 300 feet above the ground - only becomes apparent from up close, as the tips of the knife-edged blades spanning nearly an acre slice the air at 200 mph. Utility companies installed thousands of new turbines last year and are on track to install even more this year, generating pollution-free electricity whenever...

Germany boosts onshore wind capacity by record amount in 2014
2015-01-30 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Germany's newly installed onshore wind power capacity rose by a record 4,750 megawatts (MW) in 2014, industry groups said on Thursday, marking what is likely to be a peak annual gain as the country gears up for a nuclear-free future. Representing additional energy production roughly equivalent to one nuclear plant, the increase was 58 percent bigger than in 2013. Reckoning with new land resources made available following Japan's Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011, engineering group VDMA and...

Offshore Wind Farm Leases Draw Few Bids From Wary Industry
2015-01-30 01:42:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: Not too long ago, in 2013, the Obama administration began auctioning off leases for offshore wind farms up and down the Eastern Seaboard, hoping to spur a nascent industry. But now, the industry is languishing. Projects off the coast of New England, New Jersey and Delaware are dead, moribund or struggling. And an auction on Thursday for parcels off the coast of Massachusetts some of the windiest areas of the country drew little interest from developers. Two of the four parcels drew no bids...
