All this would have already been taking place over the past some forty years, as well as finding other clean sources or ways to better create energy from, if the special interests hadn't locked the brakes on as they continue today in trying to do! The U.S. would also have been the leader in this evolution forward as it had in many other area's, but alas that's now shipped offshore, starting roughly about the same time!
17 July 2012 - The Low Carbon Energy Company has announced the completion of the installation of a revolutionary helical wind turbine at St Catherine’s Academy in Bolton (UK). The 1-kW helical wind turbine has been installed to help educate the students in wind technology along with a small PV system (the systems that use solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity).
The newly installed turbine, manufactured by New York City-headquartered Urban Green Energy (UGE), will generate around 1,500 kWh of electricity per year. Whilst the two renewable energy systems will contribute to reducing electricity, their primary function is to help educate students at St Catherine’s Academy in Bolton.
The UGE turbine is one of the world’s leading brands in helical turbine technology and is distributed in the North of England by the Low Carbon Energy Company – the installation is a UK first.
“It was a challenging installation, but it’s something we’re extremely proud of. The long term benefits of installation shouldn’t just be measured in terms of a cash-saving, or one building producing energy in a cleaner way. Our aspiration is that the technology inspires the young people at St Catherine’s Academy in Bolton,” explains Ged Ennis, Operations Director of The Low Carbon Energy Company.
“It would be a lasting legacy for us to think that we had influenced a generation of environmentally conscious consumers. But the real achievement will be that some of the students recognise the importance of sustainable energy and see it as a challenging and rewarding career,” he continues. read more>>>
