					<description><![CDATA[REDCAR and Cleveland Borough Council has suffered a stinging defeat in its High Court bid to block plans for a massive wind farm off the North-East coast.
Council lawyers argued at London&#8217;s High Court that Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, John Hutton, had been wrong not to direct a full public inquiry before giving the go-ahead to the ambitious power generation scheme.
Mr Hutton gave his consent for the construction of the farm by EDF Energy, last September, .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

The Indian company &#8212; the world&#8217;s fifth-largest wind-turbine maker by sales &#8212; earlier this year acknowledged that 65 giant blades on turbines it had sold in the U.S. Midwest were cracking because of the extreme gusts in the region.

Utility companies, independent power providers, institutional investors and oil companies are all seeking to capitalise on lucrative support mechanisms to unlock greater commercial and competitive advantages, meet their renewables targets and boost their green credentials.
Strong growth therefore continues on the back of record sustainable energy investments, yet record wind farm development costs and valuations are now driving &#8216;dotcom&#8217; comparisons as the economics of .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

Mr. Pickens&#8217; company, Mesa Power LLP, plans to announce today that it ordered 667 turbines from GE for about &#36;2 billion.
That will produce 1,000 megawatts of power, more than the average nuclear power plant, and enough juice to light 300,000 homes.

Had the wind &#8220;farm&#8221; been built, and taking wind limitation into account, it would have generated about 180 megawatts of wobbly electricity hundreds of miles from the bulk of consumers. This is perhaps a tenth of the output of a large power station nd because of the wobble no real power .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

A bit more than a decade ago, Mr. Tanti sold his family&#8217;s struggling yarn-making business and scraped together about a half-million dollars to start a new company. Defying industry incumbents who dismissed him as a dreamer, he started building wind-powered turbines.
With lobbying, heavy borrowing and good timing, he turned Suzlon Energy Ltd. into the world&#8217;s fifth-largest windmill maker. .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

The town&#8217;s debate is one that is playing out in communities throughout western New York that are wrestling with the issue of wind power.

Because tribes are tax-exempt, they are not entitled to the tax credits provided to non-Native developers for renewable energy production. And if an outside company wants to team up with a tribe, the federal government will not allow a full tax credit.
That is .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

Different wind energy installations within a region have documented similar timing in fatalities, suggesting that a weather pattern can have widespread influence.

Peatlands are wetland ecosystems that accumulate plant material over time to form layers of peat soil up to 20 meters thick. They are present in 180 countries, cover 3 percent of the worlds surface, and store an average of 10 times more carbon per hectare than other ecosystems.
Peatlands are also home to a large share of .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

Clipper had previously said revenues from 35 of the 125 turbines produced at its plant in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, would be recognised in this year&#8217;s figures.
Today, however, it said commissioning delays meant only eight turbines, which were produced late in 2006, would be counted. Revenues and gross profits from the balance would be taken in 2008, the company .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The bitter row over wind farms has reignited with the approval for 10 110-metre turbines near the Brechfa Forest.
Carmarthenshire planners granted a planning application from developer Catamount Energy to build the wind farm on land adjacent to Blaengwen Farm, near Alltwalis, Pencader.
The news was met with dismay by protesters who fear it will open the door to further applications around the forest.
A new group called Blaengwen Development Objectors is investigating legal options to reverse the decision.

					<description><![CDATA[A company bidding to build a wind farm on land owned by businessman Mohamed Al Fayed has appealed against a council&#8217;s decision to refuse it permission.
Airtricity proposed to construct 23 turbines at Beinn Rosail, near Invercassley, in Sutherland.
It has lodged an appeal with the Scottish Executive against Highland Council&#8217;s decision in December.
Airtricity said its plan was in line with the development policies of the council and government.

The lifelong Bedford Township resident said he lives where there&#8217;s so little artificial light that the moon and stars are visible most nights.
He thinks wind turbines, which several wind energy companies want to erect in Bedford County, are &#8220;eyesores.&#8221;
Some residents have a different perspective.
