This wind farm will be the largest onshore wind farm in England and Wales. With 76 turbines, the Pen Y Cymoedd development is expected to produce 299 MW of energy by 2016. ]]> http://www.tomorrowisgreener.com/largest-onshore-wind-farm-to-be-built-in-england-and-wales/feed/ 0 http://www.tomorrowisgreener.com/microsoft-to-go-carbon-neutral/ http://www.tomorrowisgreener.com/microsoft-to-go-carbon-neutral/#comments Tue, 15 May 2012 14:13:23 +0000 Greener Tomorrow http://www.tomorrowisgreener.com/?p=3337 Microsoft has committed to going carbon neutral.

While you may think that I’m aiming for full electric cars, most of the fuel-saving measures that the NRDC looked at are not even that drastic, but rather things that are already surfacing in mainstream models like direct injection, 6-speed transmissions, turbocharging, weight-reduction techniques, improved aerodynamics, etc.]]> http://www.tomorrowisgreener.com/u-s-drivers-to-save-68-billion-by-2030-under-obamas-54-5-mpg-standard/feed/ 0 http://www.tomorrowisgreener.com/solar-energy-storage-pilot-project/ http://www.tomorrowisgreener.com/solar-energy-storage-pilot-project/#comments Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:35:17 +0000 Greener Tomorrow http://www.tomorrowisgreener.com/?p=3313 S&C Electric is starting a pilot project taht will store solar energy on lithium-ion batteries. The company, which is a leader in smart grid and energy storage company based in Chicago, will invest £200,000 in the pilot project. The project involves a 75kW lithium-ion battery system at an “eco-home project”.]]> http://www.tomorrowisgreener.com/solar-energy-storage-pilot-project/feed/ 0 http://www.tomorrowisgreener.com/new-renewable-electricity-source-at-the-mouth-of-a-river-could-support-over-500-million-people/ http://www.tomorrowisgreener.com/new-renewable-electricity-source-at-the-mouth-of-a-river-could-support-over-500-million-people/#comments Fri, 20 Apr 2012 16:48:06 +0000 Greener Tomorrow http://www.tomorrowisgreener.com/?p=3309 According to a new analysis the point where a river flows into the ocean, the river mouth, could generate enough electricity to support over half a billion people.
