Every day, thousands of people around the world view the wind-watch.org web site. Thousands more rely on its news and document feeds on other web sites, on Facebook and Twitter, and in the weekly e-mail newsletter.
“Wind 2050” is a government and industry funded project in Denmark attempting to study resistance to large-scale wind energy development. In their graphic depiction of the wind information web, wind-watch.org is the most prominent site, the largest circle, referred to by more wind sites than any other:
Since the creation of the web site in 2006, National Wind Watch has had to regularly upgrade hosting services to keep up with steadily rising traffic demands. Dynamic web pages, our daily newsletter, streaming video, implementation of privacy-protecting https, back-ups, and storage of photos, graphics, and documents as well as videos — the services and bandwidth required to keep these running smoothly and responsively are get more expensive every year.
National Wind Watch keeps expenses as low as possible. We are an all-volunteer organization. Every dollar goes directly to providing the information that campaigners around the world rely on. We recognize that campaigners everywhere are already forced to spend too much of their time and money locally to fight inappropriate wind projects. So please consider even a small donation. Just 5 dollars, euros, pounds, kroner, etc.: whatever you are able to give at this time. And if you can afford more, please give more. Consider scheduled monthly giving (see subscription button, below).
We hope you want to show how important National Wind Watch is to you. Please add your contribution — however modest — to help the many thousands of people worldwide who turn to National Wind Watch for essential information about wind power and the impacts of its development in all environments. National Wind Watch cannot remain effective and independent without your help. With your generous gift, we can maintain and expand our efforts to educate our neighbors, regulators, and legislators about the costs and impacts of industrial-scale wind energy.

For the news, which is updated throughout the day, scans or (much better) transcriptions of stories that aren't published on line are very helpful, as well as links to on-line stories from local papers that may not be prominently indexed by search services or are available only to subscribers. If you can comfortably read a language other than English, translated material (or just summaries) from non-English sources also are very helpful.
