Valentin Nizovkin, a resident of Almaty, has invented yet another energy installation. This time it involves artificial tornadoes to convert wind energy into electricity.
The smallest and least known of Spain's Canary Islands, El Hierro, is making a splash by becoming the first island in the world fully energy self-sufficient through combined water and wind power.
A strong wind blew off parts of roofing from a school building in Taldykorgan and threw them at a 10-y.o. boy who was walking by leaving deep cuts in his belly.
Foreign energy firms have flocked to a narrow region of southern Mexico, known as one of the world's windiest places, to build towering wind turbines, but some projects have angered and torn indigenous villages.
Canadian researchers have developed a ground-breaking method which may ultimately enable excess energy created by wind turbines and solar panels to be stored for later use.
There's enough wind to power the world many times over, according to a study out Monday, but it would take a massive infrastructure investment to harness it that analysts say is not realistic.
