'Wind theft': The mysterious effect plaguing wind farms 7 May 2025 Share Save Sophie Hardach Share Save Getty Images As wind farms expand, some can accidentally "steal" each others' wind – causing worries over some countries' energy transition to net zero. As offshore wind farms are expanding around the world in the race to meet net zero climate targets, a worrying phenomenon is attracting growing attention: in some conditions, wind farms can "steal" each other's wind.

Aug 4 2015 I read a recent interview with Hadley Wickham. Two things stood out to me. The first is how down-to-earth he seems, even given how well-known he is in the data science community. The second was this quote: Big data problems [are] actually small data problems, once you have the right subset/sample/summary. Inventing numbers on the spot, I’d say 90% of big data problems fall into this category. ##The technical side of sampling Even if you don’t have huge data sets (defined for me

Not every farmer is thrilled to host birds. Some worry about the spread of avian flu, others are concerned that the birds will eat too much of their valuable crops. But as an unstable climate delivers too little water, careening temperatures and chaotic storms, the fates of human food production and birds are ever more linked—with the same climate anomalies that harm birds hurting agriculture too. In some places, farmer cooperation is critical to the continued existence of whooping cranes and o

You can't own the wind, but you can, apparently, "steal" it. Enter "wind theft" — a phenomenon that wind farms across Europe are encountering as more of these renewable power plants pop up across the continent, the BBC reports. As powerful and vast as the currents of air that wrap our planet may be, it turns out the effects of hundreds of turbines tapping into them aren't negligible. "Wind farms produce energy, and that energy is extracted from the air. And the extraction of energy from the ai

Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson return for the fourth and final film in the hit horror franchise, out September 5. Eventually, Ed and Lorraine Warren had to stop investigating supernatural activity. And, in the first trailer for The Conjuring: Last Rites, the basic premise is that this case was so, so bad, it was the reason they stopped. Now, how true that specifically is, we aren’t quite sure. But the trailer for the fourth and final Conjuring film starring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as

Sometimes the simpler idea is the winner. That’s certainly the case with the winner of the Xprize Carbon Removal competition, which was announced on Wednesday. Mati Carbon walked away with the $50 million grand prize for its enhanced rock weathering program that locks carbon in soils for thousands of years. The Musk Foundation underwrote the prize. The runners up were NetZero, which produces biochar; Vaulted Deep, which processes and buries waste biomass; and Undo Carbon, another enhanced rock

Thirteen years ago, when Chris Farmer founded early-stage venture firm SignalFire with data analysis at the core of its investment strategy, many were skeptical about the approach — conventional wisdom dictated that nascent companies didn’t have enough data to make investment algorithms effective. “This was a very radical idea, and everyone thought I was crazy,” Farmer (pictured above, on the right, alongside CTO and partner Ilya Kirnos) told TechCrunch. A lot has changed since SignalFire rais

For two decades, farmer John Burk has been working to improve the soil on his farm in Michigan, taking a few extra steps to make it more resilient and productive. His efforts have paid off. “When we have the dry, hot summers or lack of rainfall, our crops can sustain the dry spells better. We don’t have huge yield decreases,” Burk said. “And when it rains and we have the freak storms, like it seems to do so much now, we don’t have the ponding and all the runoff.” An added bonus: He needs less

Around the world, on separate continents that had no contact with each other, multiple groups of ancient humans invented farming more or less simultaneously — and scientists still don't know how or why. Known to archaeologists and anthropologists as the Neolithic Revolution, the discovery of this historical head-scratcher is by no means new. Nevertheless, it continues to fascinate folks like Michael Marshall, an author at New Scientist who pondered this phenomenon in a new piece about this quan

Larry Ellison is probably best known for being the founder and CEO of Oracle and a close confidant of President Trump. But he’s also spent years quietly building a vertical farming startup. And after a lot of time and nearly $500 million in investment, the company is still struggling to take off, with its early indoor farms likened to more of a DIY project than something that has received nearly half a billion dollars in capital. The Wall Street Journal has a new story detailing all the problem
