Building Wind Turbines With Good Taste




Thanks to oil’s soaring prices, people are now more interested in adopting cleaner and environment-friendly energy resources than before. Some of the most popular renewable energy resources are:

  • Biofuels
  • Biomass
  • Geothermal
  • Hydro Power
  • Solar Power
  • Tidal Power
  • Wave Power
  • Wind Power

I’ve penned a couple of posts about wind and solar power. These are my favorite renewable resources, because they have a great potential in Panama, the country where I live. If only our government officials would take their dark glasses off to see reality.

Texas is doing just fine making huge investments in wind power building giant wind turbines in a place called Pampa located northeast of Amarillo on the Texas panhandle. Famous oilman T. Boone Pickens, is investing $10 billion to build the world’s largest wind farm near Pampa, Texas.

Even though it has been demonstrated over and over again that wind power is one of the cheapest and cleanest alternative for oil, many people are against wind farm projects because they say they are ugly and pollute the scenery of country roads.

Wind turbines don’t necessarily have to be cold and ugly as their detractors say. I’ve just seen very imaginative and beautiful wind turbines designed in Europe which resemble moving works of art blowing in the wind.

You can take your pick from 3 megawatt offshore monsters, to zero energy windmill skyscrapers, kite flown turbines and giant seabed anchored super-turbines, held aloft by blimps. Please click here to find a picture gallery of the most futuristic and quixotic designs for wind turbines. By far the most beautiful way to harness energy.

Enjoy and please spread the word for the adoption of clean energy resources in your neck of the woods. With imagination, they can also be works of art in motion. Adios!
