- The Energy Challenge - Wind Energy Bumps Into Power Grid's Limits - Series - NYTimes.com: That is a symptom of a broad national problem. Expansive dreams about renewable energy, like Al Gore?s hope of replacing all fossil fuels in a decade, are bumping up against the reality of a power grid that cannot handle the new demands. The dirty secret of clean energy is that while generating it is getting easier, moving it to market is not. The grid today, according to experts, is a system conceived 100 years ago to let utilities prop each other up, reducing blackouts and sharing power in small regions. It resembles a network of streets, avenues and country roads. ?We need an interstate transmission superhighway system,? said Suedeen G. Kelly, a member of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
- On a Wing and Low Air: The Surprising Way Wind Turbines Kill Bats: Scientific American: Scientists have known since 2004 that wind farms kill bats, just as they kill birds, even though the flying mammals should be able to avoid them. Many biologists thought that the bats, like their avian counterparts, might be falling victim to the fast-spinning turbine blades. But an examination of 188 hoary and silver-haired bats killed at a wind farm in southwestern Alberta in Canada between July and September in 2007 showed that nearly half showed no external injuries?as would be expected if the giant blades had smashed the flying mammals to the ground.
