(www.abndigital.com) South Africa depends on coal for 88% of its electricity needs, and because it is an internationally traded commodity, coal imposes a price risk on taxpayers. But experts believe the country could accelerate its energy programme and other deliverable if South Africa adopted a wind power programme. Joining us on the need to put wind in the sails of South Africa’s energy programme is Dr Eddie O’Connor, CEO of Mainstream Renewable Power.

Wind Turbines Causing Health Problems
Wind Farms Are Making People Sick “Wind Turbine Syndrome” Wind energy is a multi-billion dollar a year industry. Its billed as clean, green, renewable. In this engagingly written, peer-reviewed report by a Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine trained MD and Princeton (Population Biology) Ph.D., we discover wind energys dirty little secret. Many people living within 2 km (1.25 miles) of these spinning giants get sick. So sick that they often abandon (as in, lock the door and leave) their homes. Nobody wants to buy their acoustically toxic homes. The lucky ones get quietly bought out by the wind developers—who steadfastly refuse to acknowledge that Wind Turbine Syndrome exists. (And yet the wind developers thoughtfully include a confidentiality clause in the sales agreement, forbidding their victim from discussing the matter further.)

www.mywindpowersystem.com MyWindPowerSystem.com the best Wind Power site on the planet knows your questions when it comes to purchasing a wind turbine system for your land to generate some extra cash for you from freely available wind. Your questions are How do wind turbines work? Will I have to change the wiring of my house? Will I save money? Will I make money? What about towers? How much does a wind turbine cost? What size wind turbine would I need? How reliable are wind turbines? How reliable are wind turbines? Will it help the environment? Do I have to take wind measurements for a year or more? What are the companies who sellwind turbines? Will my utility allow me to connect a wind power system? Will I have problems obtaining planning permissions? 1.) Perform a rough wind assessment for your location by going to firstlook.3tiergroup.com and enter your site location details. Note! Average yearly wind speed for your area must be 7-10m/s. 2.) Contact your town-ship planning office and find out the max. tower/hub height and max. rotor diameter for a wind turbine allowed in your area. Now you know how much wind is available at your location and you also know the max. rotor diameter and hub height allowed for your wind turbine. Now you can estimate the amount of electricity likely to be generated by a given wind turbine over the course of a year. How do I get this estimate? 3.) Use the Annual Electricity Output Calculator at bit.ly to calculate the expected yearly kWh …

Texas leads push towards wind-power
Texas, a US state that first grew rich from oil, is now turning to wind-power for its next energy bonanza. The biggest windmill farm in the US has recently sprung up in the Texas town of Roscoe, which has the capability of generating power to thousands of homes. The promise of a plentiful, carbon emissions-free energy source has attracted billions of dollars to the US from international investors. Al Jazeera’s Tom Acerman reports from Roscoe, a place locals call the “Saudi Arabia of wind”. [August 4, 2010]

Wind Turbine Shadow Flicker and Noise, Byron Wisconsin
When industrial wind turbines which are 40 stories tall are sited too close to people’s home there is trouble with noise and shadow flicker. Wind developers deny these problems exist and in the state of Wisconsin want to put them 1000 feet from houses. That’s 350 steps. This video shows what happens when wind turbines are irresponsibly sited. The nation is slowly waking up to the downside of wind energy. Developers lie to residents about the impacts these machines will have on the landowners and neighbor’s lives. They take advantage of those of us who want to do the right thing for our environment by telling us there will be no problem with noise, no problem with shadows, and no problem with putting turbines in bird migration flyways. The truth will out, eventually. For the residents in the town of Byron, Fond du Lac county, the truth is what they live with every single day. There is a place for wind energy. It’s just not beside a person’s home.
