The Future of Texas Wind Energy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Texas
The Lone Star State still leads the nation in wind power!

Renewable energy isn\u2019t just great for the planet. It\u2019s also a way to make cheap<\/a> electricity<\/a>. Of all the green energy sources in the US, wind power<\/a> is the most common. And Texas operates 36 GW<\/a> of some of the nation’s largest wind farms. Let\u2019s see how far Texas wind farm technology has come, and where its future lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If Texas was a country, it would be the 5th biggest wind energy producer in the world. Texas\u2019 150 wind farms could generate over 35,000 MW<\/a> of electricity<\/a>. No wonder wind makes up almost a third of energy production in the Lone Star State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Not only is farming wind an abundant form of reusable energy in Texas. It\u2019s also cheaper to produce<\/a>. While generating MWh of electricity<\/a> from gas costs $81, it only costs $46 from onshore wind turbines. So, investing in wind power<\/a> innovations in Texas also means cheaper retail electricity<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ten years ago, wind turbines were approximately 262 feet tall. Today, they’re around 328 feet. In comparison, the prototype of the tallest wind turbine in the world stands at 813 feet. Its rotor\u2019s turning diameter is the size of 2 football fields. For now, you can only find this beast in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Height wasn\u2019t the only wind power<\/a> improvement in the last decade. Similarly, the length of a turbine\u2019s blade also went from 115 feet to 150 feet today. Taller turbines with longer blades are more efficient. Ten years ago a wind turbine could make 1.5 MW of energy. Today, that output has climbed to 2.5 MW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Small wind innovations can also have a big impact. A team at NTU Singapore invented a tiny wind harvester<\/a> that can generate electricity<\/a> from a 2 m\/s breeze. These wind harvesters are perfect on the sides of buildings, which could even make cities into wind farms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Although wind power<\/a> is a lot healthier<\/a> than burning fossil fuels, it still generates millions of metric tons of waste. Instead of contributing to landfills, decommissioned turbine blades made of fiberglass can be recycled. A company called Carbon Rivers<\/a> turns them into materials like non-woven mats and filaments for 3D printing. And as crazy as it sounds, new composite-resin blades could even be recycled as edible gummy bears<\/a>. Well, not yet, but perhaps sometime in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
