These days, everyone is worried about the ways that our energy production is affecting our environment. There is a lot of attention on the problems with methods of production that create large amounts of pollution and deplete our resources. A sustainable method of energy production is marine turbine energy. Secretary of State for Energy, John Hutton said: “This kind of world first technology and innovation is key to helping the UK reduce its dependency on fossil fuels and secure its future energy supplies.” This technology is being harnessed by Marine Current Turbines Ltd, who is suppying up to a thousand homes with lean, clean, and green energy from one turbine in Northern Ireland.

Wind-Turbine Highway Lights February 23, 2010
Current an eco-design firm Tak is proposing to initiate a new concept for highways–wind turbine powered highway lights. With cars speeding pass the highways so frequently highway lights are to be powered by a simple rush of air. Not only will these turbines provide energy for the overhead lights but they will also provide energy for a whole grid.
Wind turbines are like giant fans, as wind harnesses the propellers they spin, and as they spin they create a great amount of energy. This means, the rotating propellers converts the energy of wind into kinetic energy.
