Renewable energy ecosystems can bring big energy in a small area and pick up where another system leaves off if needed. Building sustainable, ecological systems is the future of renewable energy and we believe we are set at the forefront of making this clean energy reality happen. #sustainability

Great benefits have been found to happen when VAWTs are placed near traditional turbines, due in part to the discovery of the Coupled Vortex Effect. Here in a past webinar, CEO Kevin Wolf discusses the pathway to these breakthroughs. #sustainability #windenergy #wind #technology #science

It's becoming clearer and clearer - the simple act of painting a single turbine blade black allows birds to better see and avoid them. Wind Harvesters are already a step further in being 3-dimensional along with bird-tracking tech to slow blades, but the more we can do for birds, the better! #birds

A solution is underway for bird strikes caused by wind farms, with a study linking the change to a drop of more than 70% in bird deaths.

A better option - add a layer of VAWTs under the HAWTs. Wind farms can double or triple energy output with VAWTs. Wind Harvesters produce 500kW per 100m of row with rows 70m apart. CalTech says their wakes draw higher altitude, faster moving wind into the rotors of the HAWTs increasing their output
