Wind Power 4 All

This video filmed by Larry Wunsch of Brownsville, Wisconsin who lives inside of Forward Energy wind farm there. He was out plowing his driveway when he saw a piece of ice the size of a bedsheet come from the turbine. He got his video camera and filmed the turbine. Theres no flying ice in this video, but the turbine blades clearly have ice and snow on the blades- except for the one where the big chunk fell off. Residents inside this industrial wind farm in Fond du Lac County were told ice throw from turbine blades isn’t a problem. They were told if ice forms on the blades, the turbine automatically shuts down. People who are spending their first winter in the wind farm tell another story.

It’s the biggest wind farm operating in Victoria and it’s putting the tiny town of Waubra on the map in ways the locals never predicted. It’s been dubbed the ‘Waubra Disease’, the health effects of living surrounded by wind turbines and it’s now becoming known around the world. As the State Government approves more wind farms, there are growing demands for serious investigation and for standards to be reviewed. Cheryl Hall reports.

Jess Jessen is the manager of the Galmsbüll wind farm in northern Germany – and its principal shareholder.He has always seen the potential profits to be made in the sector and shrugged off the skeptics back in the 1980s. Wind currently meets 7% of Germany’s energy requirements, and that figure is set to double over the next few years. Local residents, however, complain that the enormous rotors are an eyesore.

It's an unusual gift, but definitly a gift of the future. A wind turbine will be installed to help the Huron City School district cut their energy bill in half. It will not only save the Sandusky-area school district money, but it will help students learn. "We have an opportunity for our students to be hands on with alternative energy which is one thing we're pushing in schools," said Superintendent Fred Fox. surenergy out of Sandusky actually donated the wind turbine to the district. They made the donation in memory of a family member who passed away. It is a generous donation that in turn produces hands-on learning. "To have an actual turbine being erected right now and turning, they'll be able to get in the classroom and see how many kilowatts it produces each day and keep track," Fox said. "The technology is tremendous." surenergy, which is selling personal wind turbines for home owners in greater Toledo,
