Mitsubishi will be UNVEILING a massive 7 GW offshore turbine that will be used in the UK in 2013. This is hugely impressive for the wind industry because most have nameplate capacities at 2-3 MW nowadays. Will this mean a continued exponential rise for the industry over the past 5 years? Guess we'll just have to wait and see...

World's Largest Hydraulic Power Plant to be Built at 40 GW... and then some.
IN this ARTICLE, it explains the agreement between South Africa and the DRC agreeing to build, what would be world's largest hydro power plant in the world when it's completed in 2025, at 40 GW (that is more than twice what Three Gorges is). Expensive though at $80 billion.
AND THEN, HERE, is an article reporting on the decision by courts to allow construction of a large 11 GW in Brazil that will be built in that country.
The 40 GW power plant presented is absolutly massive to wrap your head around. It is more than twice what the current world's largest power plant which is the 18.3 GW plant at Three Gorges Damn.
However, as shown in the second article problems and sacrifices that have to be made by citizens with the massive 40,000 person displement that will occur with the construction of the damn in Brazil.
DO the good of many out weight the good of the few, or is this something that people will have to swallow to allow for cleaner energy production needs in the future.?
