Most of the health benefits from wind farms haven’t reached communities of color and low-income Americans, new research shows. Most of the health benefits from wind farms haven’t reached communities ...

New research reveals how wind shear -- the same atmospheric conditions that cause bumpy airplane rides -- affects how pollution contributes to isolated thunderstorm clouds. The work improves ...

Aerosolized particles and other pollution produced from vehicle exhaust may reduce wind speeds near Earth’s surface, resulting in less wind for power generation as well as reduced precipitation, ...

To craft the smallest flying structure humans have ever produced, researchers turned to nature. Engineers from Northwestern University designed a flying microchip about the size of a grain of sand to ...

Injecting large amounts of offshore wind power into the US electrical grid is manageable, will cut electricity costs, and will reduce pollution compared to current fossil fuel sources, according to ...

New research finds plastics pollution is spiraling, spreading thousands of miles in wind as well as through rainwater, with the heaviest deposits of inhalable particles measured at high-elevation ...

Wind-borne pollution from China and neighboring countries is spreading to California and other parts of the nation and Canada as a result of surging economic activity and destructive farming practices ...

There’s nothing to burn. No ore to mine. No coal trains snaking from Wyoming to Midwest power plants. But wind power has its own pollution problem looming. Last year, one third of new electric ...

Things have been going fairly well for the old natural-gas industry lately. Recently, Governor Bill Ritter signed a bill supported by an array of interests—Democrats and some key Republicans—that ...

The federal government boosted the amount of carbon pollution Iowa must cut at its power plants, under a massive climate change plan announced Monday by President Barack Obama. The Clean Power Plan ...

Tobias Trübenbacher, a design student from Berlin, has created a wind-powered lamp post that uses an integrated wind rotor to generate energy and a motion detection system to create an insect-friendly ...
