3TIER Remaps The World!

We all have been looking for benefits of alternative energy resources and Solar and Wind Energy has been close at hand for all of us. But do we know how much sun light or wind energy that we are able to capture from the places where we live? Thanks to an innovative company, 3TIER, now we can.

With wind energy or Solar Energy, knowing how hard the wind blows or how strong is that sun beam are like knowing how much money you have in the bank.

On March 3, 2008, a global 15km wind map was launched online at firstlook.3tiergroup.com Based on data from a single year, the intent of this background map was to provide a broad sense of the wind potential throughout the world by renewable-energy assessment company 3Tier.

Also according to the news on site, over the next 21 months, 3TIER will create a much more accurate map for the entire world for wind, country by country, based upon a priority order that takes into account such issues as renewable energy policies, availability of renewable energy resource and economic status. Solar and other renewable energies will be included in the future.

I am happy that I know exactly how much wind and Sun energy I am wasting (by not using properly) after little calculations with the 3Tier data.
