Exposure to high noise levels is a well-known source of adverse physical and mental health impacts in humans. Wind turbines often suffer extra criticism here, but a new study conducted by researchers ...

The Netherlands has increasingly relied on offshore wind to provide electricity while also taking steps to mitigate the environmental impact of wind turbines.

By 2050, offshore wind power capacity in the North Sea is set to increase more than tenfold. Researchers at the Helmholtz ...

The massive offshore wind turbine blade that broke and spread fiberglass and foam debris across Nantucket beaches this week was one of several recent failures of blades made by GE Vernova – a top US ...

Construction is underway on the Rocky Forge Wind Project, Virginia’s first land-based wind farm, located in Botetourt County.

People interested in reducing their carbon footprint, along with their monthly energy costs, have an array of options to consider. One of them is wind power. If you've narrowed down your options and ...

The University of Maine is contributing to the global effort to improve floating machines to harness wind over deeper offshore waters. Researchers envision turbine platforms floating in the ocean ...

A photo of a generator that was used to temporarily power a wind turbine’s emergency systems during an electricity outage has been falsely claimed online to show a permanent power source to propel the ...

Virginia’s first wind farm is under construction in Botetourt County, raising concerns among residents about the project’s ...

Wind turbine blades are difficult to recycle because of their massive size and durable material. One company is the first in the US to shred the blades so they can be used as fuel in cement-making.

Wind turbines usually jut up from the ground like giant pinwheels. Now a company in China is exploring a new form factor: flying wind turbines. These zeppelin-like aircraft float high in the sky, ...
