In wind and rain she started on her difficult way.

It is a truly delightful place, which looks the same as it must have done 100 years ago with its winding streets and pretty cottages.

More wind power stations will spring up to meet the demand for clean energy.

My 10-year-old noticed him and make a comment on how bad it must be to have to stand outside in the cold wind.

The cooling wind swept through out bedroom windows, making air conditioning unnecessary.

The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and snow.

The wind blew non-stop, and all the food I ate, and the very air I breathed, were filled with sand, sand, sand!

Then, when I came back, a strong warm wind began to blow.

Nicaraguan naval authorities had banned sea travel in the area because of bad weather and strong winds, but the tour boat proceeded anyway.

His teacher said if he went on like that, his face would get stuck when the winds changed.

That damaging other people in your community and in your life, trashing relationships, results in a kind of self-inflicted ( ' , 自己招致的 ) spiritual wound.

I can not control whether or not I wind up getting the disease swine flu, for example, he says.

He was  saving the life of a 9-month-old  boy who was blown into the path  of an oncoming subway train by  a high wind.

Alternative forms of energy- bio-fuels, wind and solar, to name a few are certainly being funded and developed, and will play a growingrolein the world's energy supply.

For example, even with significantinvestments, such as the $93 million for wind energy development included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, important alternative energy sources such as wind and bio-fuels comprise only about 1% of the market today

Take a drink outside with a good person, a good gathering: talk with the sun and the wind with birdsong for background.

I can not control whether or not I wind up getting the disease swine flu, for example, he says.

The wind blew the baby onto the tracks.

There was a strong wind.

wind chills were 64 degrees below zero in Park Rapids, minnesota and 45 degrees below zero in Buffalo, North Dakota, according to the National Weather Service.

Technological innovations have unleashed the power of renewables such as wind, hydro, solar, and geothermal ( ' , 地热).

Previously, scientists noticed pollutants arriving in the Arctic with the wind.

Born in fire and fury, Devils Tower was then shaped by the slow, gentle work of wind and water.

That’s energy in all forms--oil, gas, coal, nuclear, solar and even wind power.

More than paradise lost, a perishing rain forest could trigger a domino effect - sending winds and rains kilometers off course and loading the skies with even greater levels of greenhouse gases - that will be felt far beyond the Amazon basin.

The changed patterns of winds and rains in the Amazon area

But while much of the research and innovation has concentrated on finding less-polluting energy alternatives, it may be decades before clean technologies like wind and solar meet a significant portion of our energy needs.

Often they wind up deeply in debt or simply unable to pay after a year or two and must drop out.

We can tear apart the great grass cover of the western plains and pour toxic chemicals into the soil until the soil is dead and blows away in the wind.

Technological innovations have unleashed the power of renewables such as wind, hydro, solar, and geothermal (地热).

The humiliations of his father’s imprisonment and his labor in the blacking factory formed Dicken’s greatest wound and became his deepest secret.

But increasingly the story is about the plummeting prices of renewables, especially wind and solar.

But that message did not play well with many in Iowa, where wind turbines dot the fields and provide 36 percent of the state's electricity generation – and where tech giants like Microsoft are being attracted by the availability of clean energy to power t

In a recent speech in Lowa, he dismissed wind power as an unreliable energy source.

In March, for the first time, wind and solar power accounted for more than 10 percent of the power generated in the US, reported the US Energy Information Administration.

In Scotland, for example, wind turbines provide enough electricity to power 95 percent of homes.

The cost of solar panels has dropped by 80 percent and the cost of wind turbines by close to one-third in the past eight years.

While fossil fuels – coal, oil, gas – still generate roughly 85 percent of the world's energy supply, it's clearer than ever that the future belongs to renewable sources such as wind and solar.
