German Wind Power
Germany is investing in wind power. The country is not only using wind to generate sustainable electricity, but they are a major supplier to global wind turbine systems. This growth requires considerable investment, but Germans are also making emotional decisions to build wind towers in the scenic areas of their beautiful country.
The weather on the North Sea is volatile with perfect blue days and powerful storms. I used to visit an operation inKiel, just northeast of Hamburg. Whether the day is brilliant or stormy there is a raw beauty to the shoreline so loved by the local seafarers. To Kiel's west, almost to the Dutch border, the North Sea scenery is changing.

How Does Solar Power Work?
The basics of solar power.
Solar power is probably the cleanest, most viable form of renewable energy available and it can be used in several forms to help power your house. Many gardens now use solar lights or solar garden water features. The availability and wide use of solar power in gardens shows exactly how versatile it is as a source of energy. The technology and the systems are becoming smaller, more compact and better looking than when they were first created and used. Early examples of solar power systems can be seen in California where, in the 1980s, enough solar power panels were installed to power over 10 million homes.
