New Technology Help to Generate Energy According to the report from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, wind power, solar and bio-energy each have tremendous potential. None of these promising advances are likely to happen tomorrow; research takes time and money. And the private sector, before leaping into the unknown, needs to be reasonably sure that their decisions will ultimately affect their bottom lines positively. As the popularity of wind energy grows rapidly, researchers at Sandia National Laboratories developed ways to lower the cost of alternative energy and enable turbine to produce more power. New wind turbine blade designs have the potential to reduce the total cost of harnessing the wind’s energy so that it becomes a viable alternative to natural gas and other nonrenewable energy sources. |
