As wind blows it generates kinetic energy, which is energy from movement. This turns the blades on a turbine, which then causes a shaft (drive shaft) within the system to rotate (view diagram below).

Worldwide solar and wind power generation has outpaced electricity demand this year, and for the first time on record, renewable energies combined generated more power than coal, according to a new ...

BRUSSELS, Jan 22 - Wind and solar power produced more electricity than fossil fuels in the EU for the first time last year, ...

In fact, the turbines were able to reach an efficiency of 53%, which is just shy of Betz's Law, a theorem that says no wind turbine would be able to convert more than about 59.3% of wind energy into ...

Wind energy infrastructure doesn’t produce power if the air isn’t moving, and solar doesn’t generate power if the sun’s not out. But that doesn’t mean that either source of energy is "worthless" ...

Jan 22 (Reuters) - Wind and solar power for the first time generated more electricity in the European Union than fossil fuels in 2025, driven by a surge in solar output, data from energy think tank ...

China added a record 543 gigawatts of new power capacity last year, combining rapid renewable growth with a continued ...

New York State's newly released draft energy plan, citing uncertainty around new green-energy projects, calls for a more "strategic" process for retiring an aging fleet of natural gas and other ...

Imagine generating power not from sunlight or wind, but from the simple mixing of fresh and salt water. This is the quiet promise of osmotic energy, a renewable energy source generated where river ...
