In a report by Jessica Marshall of Discovery News, researchers are looking into the attributes that grant whales and dolphins the speed and agility in the waters.  They are working to translate these attributes to benefit manmade technologies. Marshall mentioned how Frank Fish of West Chester University in Pennsylvania began his study on the humpback [...]

NASA researchers this week said they are using global satellite data to create maps of ocean areas best suited for wind energy.
The maps will be useful in planning where to build offshore wind farms that can convert wind energy to electricity, according to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Islands of floating wind farms have the [...]

Meeting Britain’s renewable energy targets will add significantly to domestic energy bills on top of already steeply rising fuel prices, a report said on Monday.
The report from tax advisory company Ernst & Young comes days after the government called for a 100 billion pound green revolution to get 15 percent of its energy — equivalent [...]

China’s installed wind power generating capacity is expected to top 10 gigawatts (GW) by the end of this year and to exceed 20 GW in two years, far above government targets, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
Beijing said in March that it had raised its target for installed wind power capacity to 10 GW in [...]
