-Statement From ACCIONA-North America-
"ACCIONA’s group of North American companies are subsidiaries of ACCIONA S.A., a company that ranks among the world’s leading sustainability-focused businesses centered around renewable energy, infrastructure and water treatment. We are committed to pioneering and developing a lasting foundation of sustainability in the U.S. and Canada." (ACCIONA-North America, 2009)
Researching some of the energy aspects from ACCIONA which is a company that oversees and is involved with the making and installment of wind turbines. ACCIONA is a reliable source because they are the creators and installers of the turbines. The companies which make the turbines themselves are experts on the products they make and know a lot more about it than the average person. Although not all wind farm will produce the same amount of energy which mainly varies on turbines used and average wind speed referring to the St. Lawrence Wind Farm as an example to further discussion on wind energy and developing wind farms.
Cape Vincent in New York State is a location where ACCIONA is developing a wind farm adjacent to the St. Lawrence River. Winds area generally higher offshore or near the shore of a body of water. More information about ACCIONA's St. Lawrence Wind Farm can be found on their website by browsing to their “U.S. projects” section and click on the “St. Lawrence Wind Farm” link. Due to requests from ACCIONA the blog will not provide a specific link to any section of their website. The website includes projections on carbon dioxide emission displaced, energy produced, the amount of homes in Upstate New York that would receive the energy from the farm, and much more. . ACCIONA notes that there will be 53 wind turbines in the St. Lawrence Wind Farm.
Check out the website for the St. Lawrence Wind Farm and look especially for the projected number of homes that the turbines will power annually. I will not go through each topic in this section like I have for the other sources as the site is gear specifically for this one wind farm. The site lists an estimate for the amount carbon dioxide emissions that would be save by using the turbines.
