Tells how it all works in a more technical sort of way, from the people that are active in producing wind farms.

Based in Austin, TX, cielo wind is responsible for about 5% of all wind power projects in the US which makes them the largest independent Wind Company, and their immense success in Texas goes to show what could potentially happen here in Washington if wind farms continue to grow in numbers.

Do it yourself wind turbines. Whodathunkit? Lots of information on how much energy to expect to get from different kinds of wind turbines, and what kinds of supplies work the best.

http://www.alternative-energy-resources.net/definewindenergy.html

Discusses the different parts of the wind turbines in easy-to-understand terms and gives a pretty basic definition.

NRG is all about wind, and making technology better every day. They are the brains behind a lot of the wind energy developments. (Lots of really good articles and facts on wind power across the world and in the US).

People express their concerns for not only wind power, but other ideas presented by Thomas Friedman on clean energy. (Could be useful in a C-A.)

Just a few of the many reasons we need to go green.

Not so much about specifically wind power, but a TON of really interesting information (By Friedman) on different parts of the world and what they are doing vs. what we are doing. Also, lots of green advocacy.

(This one has nothing to do with anything, really, but I thought it was sort of funny, and shows a few different perspectives on going green in the comments.)
