Submitted via email by Richard, next week is Wind Week 2009 and there's a new global offshore wind interactive map.
Richard's email: "To mark Wind Week 2009 (13 to 21 June) 4C Offshore have updated and
released a freely accessible interactive map of Global Offshore Wind Farms.
The site is an essential
resource for the general public, industry participants, planners and the
media, with the database now offering up to 60 types of information
including wind farm locations, stages of development, turbine and power
generation statistics, cable information, grid connections and companies
involved in the projects.
Users can also interact and query a wide range of contextual information,
including wind speeds, wind density and water depths. The site also
provides access to up to the minute news from across the offshore
renewables sector, with industry reports available for download.
For more information please see the site or
contact Richard Aukland, Product Development Manager."

Wind Power Maps
[+]
The Cartography blog has a list of wind power maps and online resources. From the blog: "Wind power maps are an essential part in determining prime locations for potential wind turbine sites. Below is an incomplete listing of available wind maps. Access to data layers is spotty and difficult to find."
U.S. Atlas of Renewable Resources
[+]
Very Spatial introduces the U.S. Atlas of Renewable Resources. From the National Renewable Energy Laboratory website: "The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Geographic Information System (GIS) team analyzes wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and other energy resources and inputs the data into the GIS—Geographic Information System. Read more about NREL's GIS team and the map server that creates the dynamically generated maps."

Technology: Google Maps ExtJS Wind Energy Demo
[+]
Chris Spagnuolo writes "New on our DTS Code Dojo: Created as a demonstration integrating Google Maps and the ExtJS Javascript framework, the Wind Energy Explorer is a site for viewing our nation's wind energy capacity. The initial functionality is focused on loading state polygons into the map via GeoJSON. When the user clicks on a state, the rendering the capacity over last 9 years is shown as a Google Chart. The viewer also makes use of the powerful data grid in ExtJS, which automatically supports custom sorting. We will be adding more functionality to this viewer over the coming months.
Our recent work with National Geographic, the MetaLens Virtual Earth Viewer also got some good use and some press in the Coloradoan newspaper. David Wright, National Geographic's Director of Professional Products, used the site we created to post a photo journal of the recent effects of a tornado that hit nearby Windsor, Colorado. It was a great use of the site in raising local awareness of the devastation the tornado left in its wake. If you'd like to donate to the Windsor Relief Fund, visit the City of Windsor website to find out how you can help those in need.
Check out my blog for all the links to the Wind Energy demo and the National Geographic MetaLens site."

Technology: Real-Time Pollution Maps in Cambridge
[+]
From The Map Room blog : "Cambridge Mobile Urban Sensing equips volunteer pedestrians and cyclists with pollution sensors linked via Bluetooth to mobile phones; the result is a real-time map of Cambridge’s air quality — or at least the air quality along the routes the volunteers travelled. The Guardian has more on the project and its implications — I don’t think we’ve ever had pollution maps so fine in resolution, or with data so immediate. Thanks to Richard Akerman for the link."
