Wind Power
Information on wind power and wind turbines. Learn how energy can be created for the home or on a broad-scale, using the power of the wind.
Wind and Fire Energy for Your Home
The three D’s that can describe fossil fuel are Dangerous, Dirty, and Dwindling. They are bad for the environment, but yet are still the number one source of energy. The good news is that there are cleaner, sustainable energies knocking on our doors. It is high time we welcome them into the picture with open arms. Here’s a quick look at geothermal and wind energy, and how people can harness them for their homes.
Uses of Wind Turbines
Wind is a powerful source of energy which, for centuries, has been harnessed for different uses. More and more scientists and researchers consider that wind can be used effectively as a clean renewable energy source. But this can only be done when power within the moving air is harnessed properly.

Renewable Energy Technologies
In many countries today, quite a lot is being said about harnessing renewable energy technologies – particularly in light of the rising oil prices. But some people might still be wondering exactly what renewable energy is.
Renewable energy is power which has been generated from renewable resources – in other words, it does not “run out” or eventually become [...]
The Differences Between Alternative Energy, Renewable Energy, & Clean Energy
To most people, the differences between “alternative energy,” “renewable energy,” and “clean energy,” might not be obvious. But each term is unique.
Harnessing Clean Energy: Wind Power
Wind power might be invisible to the eye, but it can potent when correctly harnessed. Wind has been a source of energy for a long time. Even 4,000 years ago, it was used by the Chinese and by the Babylonians to power pumps for irrigation.
Wind Power in Puget Sound
Puget Sound Energy’s Wind Power
Clean, renewable energy is becoming a core part of Puget Sound Energy’s power supply. PSE’s goal is to meet up to 10 percent of its customers’ total electricity need with cost-effective renewable resources by 2013. A major step in that direction is PSE’s ownership and operation of two large wind farms in [...]
