Information / Resources

The World Wide Web offers an abundance of valuable information about renewable energy. Many universities and research institutions provide a wide range of publicly available documents and resources on wind energy: historical development, turbine and blade technology, data on economic efficiency of wind energy and direct comparisons to conventional energy sources.

We attempted to compile a list of WWW sites and servers dedicated to providing useful information on wind energy. While we can not assume any liability for the accuracy and usefulness of the listed sites, we found those sites interesting, helpful and beneficial.

Please send e-mail for corrections, additions, and suggestions to the provided links and resources. We truly appreciate your feedback.
