Duke Energy

Duke Energy Corp. (NYSE: DUK) has announced that its Kit Carson Windpower Project in Colorado is complete and producing electricity.

Environmental Writer and Energy Boom Contributor, Stacy Clark, interviews Eric Pooley in Manhattan about his political thriller, The Climate War.

A new project from Duke Energy (NYSE:DUK) proposes the installation of large-scale batteries that store excess wind energy and discharge it during times of peak demand--not just when the turbines are in action.

The New York Power Authority (NYPA) recently issued requests for project proposals to install large-scale wind farms on the state's two Great Lakes.

Lake Erie and Lake Ontario could help New York State generate anywhere from 120MW to 500MW of energy, if the proposals are accepted.

Commercial offshore wind projects in the United States have yet to see the light of day; however, a research project conducted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will lead to the first wind turbines being placed in American waters.

 

The polarization of opinion on how to handle climate change has become evident in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Prominent members of the American big-business lobby -- including Nike, Johnson & Johnson and Exelon -- are publicly disputing the group's stance on global warming legislation.
