		<description><![CDATA[The problem with wind and solar power, so we’re led to believe, is that because both are dependent on weather conditions, neither is a “reliable” source of electricity. The big question has always been “What if there isn’t enough wind?” But, do we ever ask “What if there is too much wind?” High winds will<a class="readMoreLink" href="http://www.centreflow.ca/2011/10/05/a-myth-dispelled-sort-of/">Read More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are two basic types of wind turbines defined by the orientation if the axis or drive haft that turns the generator – horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT) and vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT). Horizontal axis wind turbines are the oldest, most efficient and therefore, the most common of the two types.

As well, offshore winds are far more consistent and reliable than onshore winds.

Solar radiation hits the surface of the Earth, and because the Earth is composed of different materials, the solar radiation is absorbed unevenly, creating warmer areas and cooler areas.

		<description><![CDATA[The Atlantic coast is a windy, windy place, no doubt about that. Luckily, wind is a useful resource, and moves are being made to harness that wind and turn a profit. But, there are obstacles galore. A $1 billion wind farm in Summerside, P.E.I. was delayed by the sudden economic downturn, as investors backed out<a class="readMoreLink" href="http://www.centreflow.ca/2009/07/27/wind-power-takes-a-blow-from-the-global-economy/">Read More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The debate on how best to maximize green energy and protect wildlife continues to be the source of turbulent debate, at least when it comes to wind power and the deadly interactions with birds and bats. Relatively speaking, wind turbines are a negligible threat to birds and bats, compared to say, cats. But bird groups<a class="readMoreLink" href="http://www.centreflow.ca/2009/03/23/bird-proof-wind-turbines-under-development/">Read More...</a>]]></description>

As a group of University of Calgary researchers discovered, bats are susceptible to sudden drops in pressure created by windmills blades and can succumb to a condition know as barotrauma.

		<description><![CDATA[EarthFirst launched their much-anticipated Dokie Wind Project by unveiling BC’s first operating commercial wind turbine, a three-megawatt Vestas V90 northwest of Chetwynd.  It’s the first of seven for 2008, which will start pumping precious power into BC’s grid in the spring.  41 more will be built next year.  How much difference will that make?  A<a class="readMoreLink" href="http://www.centreflow.ca/2008/11/24/the-winds-of-change-are-a-blowin%e2%80%99/">Read More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wind power is one of the most exciting, and costly, sources of alternative energy available to Canadians. Currently, we have an installed capacity of 1,855 megawatts, the 11th highest in the world. But for all the excitement over wind power, sometimes it can go wrong, and we’re not talking about errant birds being turned into<a class="readMoreLink" href="http://www.centreflow.ca/2008/09/10/too-much-of-a-good-thing/">Read More...</a>]]></description>

Now, the managing company of the British monarchy’s property Crown Estate, is hoping to expand that rule by building 25 gigawatts worth of new offshore wind farm sites by 2020— part of meeting the EU’s target of generating 20 per cent of their power<a class="readMoreLink" href="http://www.centreflow.ca/2008/06/26/offshore-wind-projects-high-seas-and-even-higher-costs/">Read More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We’ve heard a lot about NIMBY (not-in-my-back-yard) when it comes to renewable energy development. For some people, the idea of using so-called green power is fabulous – as long as it’s tucked away and out of sight. But increasingly, there’s a lot more YIMBY going on as people say YES to backyard power—small, single family<a class="readMoreLink" href="http://www.centreflow.ca/2008/05/14/say-yes-to-yimby/">Read More...</a>]]></description>
