Move Over Slow Food, Slow Wind Might Be the Latest Thing in Sustainable Living

May 11, 2015
Sailors know that wind can be a fickle servant and they’ve come up with ingenious ways to trap it in their sails. Wind turbine designers have recently developed their own tricks to beat the doldrums and build efficient wind farms for landscapes caressed with slow-moving wind.
One such machine is the GE 2.5-120 wind turbine – the numbers stand for 2.5 megawatts in output and 120 meters (393 feet) in rotor diameter. Last year, construction crews installed 14 of them at a wind farm near Rehborn, Germany.

Hearing the Holy See: This GE Technology is Helping Keep Vatican Radio on the Air

April 24, 2015
Last month, Pope Francis delivered his third Easter Sunday Mass to throngs of pilgrims spilling below his balcony across St. Peter’s Square. The square and the broad Via della Conciliazone leading to the Vatican can hold some 250,000 people, but his seasonal Urbi et Orbi address and blessing (meaning in Latin to the city – Rome - and to the world) reached a much bigger audience thanks to Vatican Radio.
