New Delhi: It will take at least another 28 months before the under-recoveries on account of sale of diesel can be eliminated. Addressing the India Energy Congress on Thursday, Planning Commission deputy chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia said: “Diesel is on a progressive elimination of subsidies and by mid-2015, present under …
Americans are increasingly convinced that the planet's climate is changing and show more support for regulating greenhouse gas emissions, finds a Duke University online survey released Thursday. The share of Americans who say climate change is occurring — 50% say definitely and 34% say probably — has rebounded, reaching what …
The location of a wind turbine is critical to its power output, which is strongly affected by the local wind field. Turbine operators typically seek locations with the best wind at the lowest level above ground since turbine height affects installation costs. In many urban applications, such as small-scale turbines …

By exerting a drag on the atmosphere, wind turbines convert a fraction of the atmosphere's kinetic energy to electrical energy. To find the point of diminishing returns, a new study adds so much drag to a simulated atmosphere that the winds slow to a crawl.
Wind power is a near-zero-emissions source of energy. Although at present wind turbines are placed on the Earth’s surface, high-altitude winds offer greater possibilities for power generation. This study uses a climate model to estimate power generation for both surface and high-altitude winds, and finds that the latter provide much …
Section 86(1) (e) of the Electricity Act 2003, mandates the State Electricity Regulatory Commissions to promote co-generation and generation of electricity from renewable sources of energy by providing suitable measures for connectivity with the grid and sale of electricity to any person. The Regulatory Commissions are also required to specify, …
