Wind Power

DIY Diehards Building Green Infrastructure From Scratch

February 18, 2026 Peter Yeung, Reasons to be Cheerful. , , ,
Even at a young age, Jonathan Schreiber found that harnessing the power of wind was something of a breeze. Encouraged by his DIY-loving grandfather, the Austrian teenager was always playing around with scrap metal, trying to build tools. At 14, he began studying a book on how to build a wind turbine from old car parts. “I was fascinated by how you could build things yourself and actually create your own energy,” says Schreiber. But it was in 2012, when Schreiber turned 18, that his life would be blown onto a new path. He heard about a man who was an expert in building his own wind turbines.

Oil Lobby Prompts Right-Wing Media To Save Whales—From Wind Power

February 4, 2023 Olivia Riggio, Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting. , , , ,
As a humpback whale was found on the shore at Brigantine, New Jersey on January 12—the seventh dead whale to wash up on a New York or New Jersey beach since December 5—local Republicans rushed to blame it on offshore wind development projects. “Not even the whales can survive [New Jersey Gov.] Murphy’s Energy Master Plan,” lamented the Jersey GOP on Twitter (1/18/23). The partisan account linked to a story in the New Jersey Monitor (1/17/23) with the alarming headline “Debate Grows Over Offshore Wind, as Whale Deaths Mount.” The article began by laying out that debate—”environmentalists put out dueling calls to continue or curtail offshore wind work”—before including an important clarification about wind farm construction and the whale deaths: “no evidence shows it caused the casualties.”
