Estonian Court: State must assess wind farm noise independently of developers #EST: The Tallinn Administrative Court has overturned the Health Board’s decision to terminate the state’s management of the Saarde wind farm noise assessment, and ruled that officials should no longer rely solely on studies commissioned by the developer, ERR News reports. The dispute was sparked by a complaint from a local resident who was concerned about the health… https://www.wind-watch.org/news/2026/08/13/estonian-court-state-must-assess-wind-farm-noise-independently-of-developers/ #windpower #windenergy

‘First of a kind’ cyberattack traced back to wind farm #POL: A previously unseen cyberattack method used in a bid to shut down a power plant was traced back to a wind farm as its initial point of vulnerability. Details of the attack – which emerged for the first time at a major anti-hacking convention in Las Vegas – illustrate starkly the heightened risks facing distributed but interconnected energy networks, said cybersecurity experts. A brief… https://www.wind-watch.org/news/2026/08/13/first-of-a-kind-cyberattack-traced-back-to-wind-farm/ #windpower #windenergy

(archive: 2012) Wind turbine noise — BMJ editorial: Wind turbine noise seems to affect health adversely; an independent review of evidence is needed. The evidence for adequate sleep as a prerequisite for human health, particularly child health, is overwhelming. Governments have recently paid much attention to the effects of environmental noise on sleep duration and quality, and to how to reduce such noise.[1] However, governments have also imposed… https://www.wind-watch.org/documents/wind-turbine-noise-editorial/ #windpower #windenergy

Wexford wind farm must continue restricting operations, court rules #IRL: An energy company has been refused a stay on High Court orders restricting the operation of its Co Wexford wind farm. In a judgment delivered in 2024, Judge Emily Egan held that noise levels from the two-turbine Ballyduff Wind Farm at Kilcomb, near Enniscorthy, amounted to an “unreasonable interference” with the enjoyment of two properties. The judge’s finding was the first… https://www.wind-watch.org/news/2026/08/12/wexford-wind-farm-must-continue-restricting-operations-court-rules/ #windpower #windenergy

📰 Renewables Continue to Expand Across the United States
🌎 U.S.: New data show solar power became the largest source of electricity generation in Utah during May, while California generated more than half of its monthly electricity from solar for the first time.
🌬️ Solar and wind together supplied the majority of electricity in seven states, and solar generation exceeded coal nationwide during the same month.
⚡ Federal projections indicate solar will account for roughly half of new utility-scale generating capacity added in the U.S. this year, reflecting continued growth in renewable energy deployment.
📈 Wind and solar power are gaining a larger share of the electricity mix, even as national energy policy remains favorable toward fossil fuel development.

How To Store Renewable Energy
Image credit: Pramote Polyamate via Getty Images Renewable-energy storage is important to help humanity reduce its dependence on fossil fuels such as oil and coal, which produce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Harnessing the power of the sun with solar panels and utilizing wind power with wind turbines are two common ways to generate renewable energy. But the sun isn't always shining and the wind isn't always blowing when we want electricity, and […]https://onlinemarketingscoops.com/2026/08/08/how-to-store-renewable-energy/
