US wind breaks 150 GW record

Greenbang doesn't know if you've been watching a bit of the Olympics at the weekend - or if instead you have a life - but if like her, you've been cloistered away watching everything from ping pong to men's weightlifting, the highlight of the weekend was the gold medal by sprinter Usain Bolt. He seemed…

Designer Philippe Starck tarts up turbines

Let's play a word association game (think Mallett's Mallet but without the threat of violence from a berk with a rubber hammer). Cat (Greenbang imagines you're thinking 'cat'). Food (Greenbang guess you're thinking 'eat'). Greenbang says word (bet your response is 'association'). And last one? Philippe Starck (Greenbang's own response would be 'overpriced design ponce'). Luckily,…

UK wind: only for the rural

Greenbang went to the country once. She wasn’t quite sure what all the fuss was about – sure, there’s scenery that would bring a tear to a glass eye and country pubs with open fires and salt-of-the-earth landlords but could you get a Ginsters pasty and a bottle of Lucozade at half past three on…

Multibillion dollar sell-off hits wind farms

If you'd like the follow the herd, rather than go out and buy Coldplay's album (in the name of all that's good and right, don't do that), but rather sell off your wind farms. Earlier this week, Savills divested itself of half its wind joint venture for £23 million. Now it's been joined in the wind-dropping gang…

Crown Estate puts 25GW of wind up for grabs

If you're an avid reader of the Crown Estate press releases, as Greenbang is, you'll notice that late last month, Regent Street hosted a Guinness World Record attempt for the largest Sevillanas dance with 456 dancers and 100,00 onlookers. Greenbang is pleased to tell you the attempt was successful. Interesting as the Sevillanas dancers may be,…

GE, Siemens, Gamesa sign DoE wind deal

Greenbang has always wondered about the term memorandum of understanding. How understanding do you have to be? If your co-signer turns up half-cut at 3 am in the morning wanting a party and you've got to get up early the next day, do you have to be understanding then? Let them in, have a shot of…

SeaGen tidal turbine now up and running

Greenbang has some good news for you. No, that whole Boris Johnson thing wasn't actually a big joke and Constable Beadle isn't about to divest himself of a fake beard and confess to pranking the capital any time soon. The news isn't that good. The news is, rather, this good: remember SeaGen? The soon-to-be erected first…

Dutch bank to pump £8.5m into clean-tech

Regular readers might recall that he asked you what your favourite oxymoron is. Greenbang rattled through a couple, finally deciding on 'military intelligence'. However, foolish Greenbang missed another glaringly obvious one: ethical bank. Hilarious, isn't it? Banks, loan sharks dressed up in fancy suits, have long had the reputation of lending money - aka your savings…
