Study Finds Wind Turbines Help Crops

New research suggests that wind turbines in midwestern farm fields may be doing more than churning out electricity. The giant turbine blades that generate renewable energy might also be helping corn and soybean crops stay cooler and dryer, helping them fend off fungal infestations and improve their ability to extract growth-enhancing CO2 from the air and soil.

Global Wind Map May Provide Better Locations For Wind Farms

WASHINGTON - A new global wind power map has quantified global wind power and may help planners place turbines in locations that can maximize power from the winds and provide widely available low-cost energy. After analyzing more than 8,000 wind speed measurements in an effort to identify the world's wind power potential for the first time, Cristina Archer and Mark Jacobson of Stanford University suggest that wind captured at specific locations, if even partially harnessed, can generate more than enough power to satisfy the world's energy demands. Their report will be published in May in the Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres, a publication of the American Geophysical Union. ...
