estimates thatoffshore wind turbinesin the Atlantic Ocean region, where the U.S. plans to build large wind farms, could take away wind from other turbines nearby, potentially reducing the
Today's food travels thousands of miles from farms before it reaches consumers in urban areas. Why is this the case? Is this a positive or negative trend? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words. Task 2...
The amount of power a solar array can generate depends on sunshine and weather conditions. To determine a system’s exact power output at any given time, you must measure it directly. But you can use theGlobal Solar Atlasto estimate how much energy your system will generate annually: ...

“We’re just a poor West Texas county. We don’t get much economic stimulation here,” said Hal Spain, who is county judge, the highest elected official in Coke County. “We’re tickled pink about this.” Wind farms sometimes generate complaints about their appearance and noise, and some...

Wind turbines in Greece set a national record on September 6, accounting for 81 percent of the country's electricity output. High temperatures, wildfires and flooding pretty much sum up the weather patterns in Greece since the summer. From an unprecedented amount of rain in...
For example, are urban farms in the corners of urban buildings, on balconies, rooftops, parks, and on the roofs of buildings? How large are they? How many people are involved? Is there a management unit? Do the people in charge of planting have farming experience? Is there a government...
A wind turbine can generate electrical power depending on the magnitude of the wind speed, as: 𝑊˙𝑊𝑇=⎧⎩⎨ 0, 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑢<𝑢𝑐𝑎+𝑏𝑢𝑘, 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑢𝑐≤𝑢<𝑢𝑟 𝑊˙𝑟,𝑊𝑇, 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑢𝑟≤𝑢<𝑢𝑓0, 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑢≥𝑢...
