Painting one wind turbine blade black cut bird deaths by 70%, and now Wyoming is testing it
The goal is to make the spinning turbine stand out more clearly to birds.
Glass fibers from retired wind turbine blades can be converted into high-capacity silicon-carbon battery anodes, turning a growing waste problem into valuable energy storage materials. (Nanowerk ...
The promise was electric. A wind generator with no blades, no gears, no spinning parts at all — just a thin ribbon trembling in the breeze, supposedly many times more efficient than the small turbines ...
