Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown David Steinman See book keywords and concepts

There, a pioneering GE wind farm, located six miles off the Irish coast, was providing the electricity to a nearby grid to power as many as 16,000 homes. Not only did the Arklow Bank windmill farm save Ireland, which is 90 percent dependent on fossil fuel imports, some 15,000 tons of fossil fuels annually, it also brought Ireland closer to being a carbon-neutral nation, by preventing release of 68,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. That was like taking 16,000 cars off the road.

Netherlands completed its first full year of operation, providing enough power for 20,000 typical Dutch homes. BP is currently focusing their efforts on the development of wind farms at existing BP refineries and petrochemical plants; this has the additional benefit of curtailing the spread of industrialized land. And as far as continued use of fossil fuels is concerned, BP is part of a major effort to find ways to reduce emissions and reduce consumption.

In Cape Cod, Massachusetts, prominent climate activists like Robert R Kennedy Jr have opposed a large offshore wind farm, despite its potential for clean power generation - because, some suspect, it would spoil their view. In the UK, the scientist James Lovelock is at least consistent; though he fulminates against wind turbines, he is a passionate advocate of nuclear power. With each side offering its miracle energy cure, the public is left with a false impression - that we simply have to choose one of the touted solutions and the problem will be solved.

Kentish Flats, the largest UK wind farm thus far, began operating in December 2005. Its thirty wind turbines can generate enough power for 100,000 homes while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 245,815 tons (223,000 metric tons) per year. But London Array, which is still in the planning stages, will easily steal the spotlight. The project expects to use 270 turbines to power more than 750,000 homes, a quarter of them in greater London. At 1,000 megawatts, London Array would prevent the release of more than 2 million tons (1.8 million metric tons) of carbon dioxide every year.

With A wind farm in Kansas. just i percent of its wind power, the jet stream (15,000-35,000 feet [4,572-10,668 meters] in altitude) could supply all of the United States' electrical demands. But building big towers is expensive, especially if we want one 15,000 feet tall. So why not ditch the tower and make the windmill fly? Several companies and people are trying to do just that. Sky WindPower is the furthest along in its research, with functional prototypes already tested in the field.
