-- Quote of the Day --  " Challenges are what make life interesting;  overcoming them is what makes life meaningful ."  ~ Joshua J. Marine -- Wind Power --  Many countries are now investing in wind turbine technology, helping it become more efficient and planet friendly. Companies, too, are joining hands iwth the industry... According to JapanFS.org , Watami - a large Japanese restaurant chain -  has partnered with a local wind power project to build a wind turbine, increasing its use of renewable energy and reducing its carbon dioxide.  Everything from changing wind patterns, gale wind forces, storms and wildlife migration are being examined and that information is constantly improving the technology. Experimenting with self-adjusting blades, folding blades, colors and now... floating wind farms.

According to the Up Wind Project , the technology is improving so much that they can now get wind turbines to 20 megawatt (most produce 5). Using rotor diameters of around 200 meters on today's standard five-megawatt turbines would also allow huge increases in pow...
