Optimal Biomass on Left = Blue, Red
Load centers = Green
Biomass technology converts bio-based feedstocks like wood, agricultural waste, and yard waste through combustion into electricity. Biomass fuel is either directly combusted in a boiler, or gasified and then combusted, or turned into a liquid fuel that can be combusted. The ...

Map of Promising Sites for Wind Power
The Bureau of Land Management eclipsed the promise of solar energy in the United States yesterday. The tragic fate of the U.S. wind power industry in the 1980s illustrates how the BLM's decision will impact the still embryonic U.S. solar energy industry.
U.S. Windpower, the ...

Understanding Wind: Wind is a manifestation of solar energy that results from the uneven warming of the earth's surface. This creates pockets of cold and hot air masses with low and high pressures that constantly negotiate to find a balance. As pressure rises, air speed and strength rises.
Understanding Wind ...
