4 Bi arre uses for Wind Energy
Wind power has many ama ing applications. These include offsetting carbon emissions, providing wind turbine jobs, appearing in adverts for energy companies to show how eco-friendly they are, and giving angry people something to complain about in local newspapers. You might not think that the uses of wind energy go much further than that. After all, while wind farms might be a great idea, obviously there are a limited number of things you can stick a windmill on top of, right? Well, you might think that, but you’d be tragically wrong. The wind is being used to power all sorts of weird things, such as:
Wind Energy Phone ChargersIn this day and age if you’re away from your Facebook page for than an hour or more you start hyperventilating and getting heart palpitations. Google has just released special glasses so that even as you’re walking around you’re getting the Internet rammed right into your eyes. Even people who are willing to give up sleeping in a real bed, under an actual ceiling, with proper toilets for some reason can’t cope with the idea of being unable to tweet about it.

Live Consultancy Awards TELCA, npower said it wants to promote and support the good work that TPIs and brokers are doing within the energy industry and that the awards will allow it to do just that.Chris Billing pictured, Head of Indirect Sales said: “It’s very important. There’s lots of good stuff happening – whether that’s for customer service, whether that’s innovation, whether that’s creating trust. We really want to be involved with that and to promote it.“The second point is in terms of integrity and transparency within the marketplace, subject of much debate, but very much npower wants to be behind that and we actually want to make sure that we’re enforcing that sort of behaviour within the industry and actually the awards allow us to do that by the entry criteria that we have.” 
With our SESPCO solution the savings are shared from the first quarter onwards with the client, as apposed to the client normally under the normal ESCO model not receiving any energy saving benefits until the investment fund has recouped the capital and interest on any project. 
has committed to an energy roadmap that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 80-95 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.Yet countries within the EU still have wildly varying energy policies, particularly when it comes to nuclear energy.Germany is phasing out nuclear energy entirely. Thirteen other EU countries, however, continue to operate nuclear reactors. Following the Fukushima disaster, Spain and Switzerland banned the construction of any new reactors, while France not only runs a number of reactors in its own country, but operates eight out of nine reactors in the UK through Electricité de France EDF.
Tuesday gas was up 2.70 pence to 72.90 pence per therm at 1030 GMT largely because the system was undersupplied by 6 million cubic metres/day (mcm) while cold weather forecast for this week kept demand expectations high. 
The regulator last week announced a series of measures to increase protection for consumers, following a warning that households faced steep increases in their bills in the coming year.
Belfast Harbour has handed over its new £50 million offshore wind terminal to DONG Energy and ScottishPower Renewables in a move which will create up to 300 jobs in trades such as welding, electrics and engineering. The official hand-over was attended by Northern Ireland’s First and deputy First Ministers, Peter Robinson MLA and Martin McGuinness MLA alongside Len O’Hagan, Belfast Harbour’s Chairman and Brent Cheshire, DONG Energy’s UK Country Chairman.
He warned that the British energy market would become tighter as a result of power plants closing, foreign gas supplies shrinking and increasing demand.
once-shuttered warehouse is now a state-of-the art lab where new workers are mastering the 3D printing that has the potential to revolutionise the way we make almost everything.” 3D printing has been increasingly used to produce jewellery, dental work, prototyping and even creating human organs. However, as an energy strategist, I’m most excited about the potential for 3D printing to revolutionise solar panel and photovoltaic (PV) cell manufacturing.
being developed across the globe, there was also plenty to cheer about for commercial electricity providers who rely on wind power. Studies found that the world could meet (and indeed, surpass) it’s energy demands solely using wind power, and that seems to have spurred on some activity right here in the UK energy market.
The European Commission has announced that it will refer the UK to the EU Court of Justice over the reduced VAT rate for the supply and installation of energy-saving materials, which includes solar PV and solar thermal modules..
The 21 campaigners from No Dash for Gas admitted aggravated trespass at the West Burton plant at Mansfield Magistrates’ Court, on Wednesday.
With EU Member States committed to ensuring that renewable energy from sources such as waste and biomass constitutes 20 per cent of the entire energy mix by 2020, the CoR called on the European Commission to bring longer term certainty to renewable energy supply. This included the possibility of looking whether the EU could be 100 per cent reliable on renewable energy by 2050.
Ofgem warned recently that households across the UK should be prepared for a sharp rise in energy bills within two years as the country comes dangerously close to power shortages. This would mean that the UK has to become more reliant on foreign gas imports in order to generate electricity given that EU rules on pollution require the dirtiest power stations to be closed.
