Conference to focus on Indiana wind energy growth
Windiana 2009 focuses on utility scale and small wind systems for use at homes, businesses and farms.
Purdue University says there are about 310 wind turbines in Benton and Tippecanoe counties producing more than 530 megawatts of electricity each year. Nearly 175 more turbines are under construction in Benton and White counties and are projected to generate about 200 megawatts.
The American Wind Energy Association says Indiana leads the nation in the growth of wind energy.

Current Model For Storing Nuclear Waste Is Incomplete
COLUMBUS - The materials the United States and other countries plan to use to store high-level nuclear waste will likely degrade faster than anyone previously knew because of the way those materials interact, new research shows.
The findings, published today in the journal Nature Materials (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41563-019-0579-x), show that corrosion of nuclear waste storage materials accelerates because of changes in the chemistry of the nuclear waste solution, and because of the way the materials interact with one another.
"This indicates that the current models may not be sufficient to keep this waste safely stored," said Xiaolei Guo, lead author of the study and…
