Yamaha Motor has installed solar and wind systems to generate electricity at its Nakaze Plant. Their plan is to create an environment-friendly company through the use of alternative energy sources.

In the Mississippi River was installed the United States’ first commercial hydrokinetic turbine which harnesses power from moving water.
This turbine has a production capacity of 35 kilowatt being situated downstream from an existing hydroelectric-plant dam. 

Because wind not only flows through the blades, normally wind turbines lose up to 39.7 percent of potential energy but this week, a small Massachusetts-based start-up FloDesign Wind Turbine win the green competitions with a new type of wind turbine that can generate three to four times more electricity than traditional blade turbines.
The moving blades [...]

Two American researchers at the University Maryland have discovered that a huge wind farm could change the direction of storms.
In this moment, the United States is supplied with 1% of our total electricity from windmills. The Department of Energy intends to raise this percentage to 20% by 2020. Therefore, to achieve this goal, requires [...]

Over 195,000 of wind turbines will be installed in UK in the next 12 years, according to consultants on energetic matters, after the British government has guaranteed that people will have their own electricity.
A grant program will be introduced for any household which adopt renewable energies such as wind, solar or biomass-based and will receive [...]

New York will finally have its first environment-friendly nightclub. The club is called The Greenhouse and has many green features for eco-activists.
The Greenhouse spreads on a surface of approximately 560 square meters and is the first green club in New York, which has a LEED certificate.

An ocean floating platform to capture and convert natural forces in green energy has been developed by the inventor Dominic Michaelis. The energy island could successfully exploit the wind, power and sun energy, that are plenty in the oceans.
The island was declared unsatisfied about the slow progress of the development of thermal energy conversion of [...]

The company named Catch the Wind situated in Virginia has discovered a new solution for improving wind turbine efficiency: laser beams.
To adjust to changes in gusts and wind direction, the company’s fiber-optic laser system gives turbines up to 20 extra second. According to the company,  their system can improve turbine output by 10 percent.

World’s largest wind farm, 909 MW, will be built in Oregon. The announce was made by the Utility company Southern California Edison(SCE) who plans to build the farm. This construction will be unique in world.
The project, called Caithness Shepherd’s Flat will be located in Morrow and Gilliam counties in North-Central Oregon, and will have [...]

The Philips company wants to revolutionize urban lighting by the Light Blossom concept, a pillar of street lighting based on solar and wind energy.
During the day, Light Blossom works as a flower, opening it’s “petals” (solar panels) to capture the energy of the sun. As the source of light moving to the sky, the [...]
