Enel Green Power: Work Gets Underway On New 70 MW Wind Farm In Romania

Enel Green Power (EGP) has begun work on building a wind farm with an installed capacity of 70 MW in Corugea, Romania.

The wind farm, located in the region of Tulcea, will consist of 35 V-90 wind turbines (2 MW each). Once fully operational, the plant will generate 189 million kilowatt hours annually, enough to meet the energy needs of 70,000 households each year and avoid the emission of 106,000 metric tons of CO2.

Enel Green Power also has two other wind farms in Romania, Salbatica I and Agighiol, for 64 MW of installed capacity. EGP is also in the process of building Sabatica II, which will have a total installed capacity of 70 MW, and is expanding Salbatica I by a further 40 MW. These plants, once completed, will increase by almost four times Enel Green Power’s installed wind power generation in Romania.

“The construction of the Corugea plant and of other plants already underway,” said Francesco Starace, CEO of Enel Green Power, “will increase our installed capacity in Romania to 244 MW, confirming our growth strategy in a country that has great potential for wind power development. Given the many projects currently being undertaken, our “zero emissions” power generation in Romania is certain to grow in the coming years.”

Wind power is the most promising renewable electricity-generation technology in Romania. In fact, the country’s total installed wind power capacity is expected to rise from 600 MW at the end of 2010 to 3,600 MW by 2015.

The Enel Group, which has operated in Romania since 2005, is currently the largest private investor in the electricity industry, with a 93,000 km network that serves around 2.6 million customers and employees 5,000 people.

How Long Does Plastic Take to Decompose?

Plastic: the unwelcome house guest at nearly every corner of our lives — from shopping bags to footwear, coffee cups to car parts. And yet, discarded, plastic doesn't just evaporate into thin air. No, it lingers. For decades. Even centuries. According to statistics presented by Visual Capitalist , plastic daily consumer goods can break down between 20 and 600 years, depending on the composition used, how they were created, and natural elements like water and sunlight they are exposed to. Let's go deeper into why plastic takes so long to break down — and what horrid messes it leaves behind in the process. Why Plastic Isn't "Natural" — and Why That's a Problem Plastic does not naturally exist. It's a product made from petroleum and natural gas. Its long, tough carbon bonds differ from anything naturally found in ecosystems, making it extremely resistant to microbial breakdown. When we toss a plastic bottle or bag away, it's not a matter of if it will s...

Fallingwater: Where Architecture Meets the Wild

Located in southwestern Pennsylvania's woods, Fallingwater is not a house, but a powerful conversation between nature and architecture. Completed in 1935 by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Kaufmanns, it's one of the only buildings that truly does seem alive—as if it grew directly out of the rock. What is so revolutionary about Fallingwater isn't its appearance—it's Wright's philosophy of organic architecture: the idea that houses are there to harmonize with nature, not dominate it. The house was actually constructed into the land, resting directly above a waterfall on Bear Run. Instead of looking out over the waterfall, Wright built the waterfall into the house, and the sound of running water is therefore a constant companion. Crafted From the Land, For the Land The materials used to build Fallingwater tell their own story. The stone was quarried on-site. Local craftsmen helped shape every contour. The horizontal lines of the cantilevered terraces echo the layered rock...

Barbie’s Feet Are Getting Flatter—And It Says a Lot About Us

Barbie’s arched feet have long been a part of her image—tiny, pointed, and forever perched for stilettos. But that’s starting to change. A new study reveals that Barbie’s feet are flattening, and that shift isn’t just about doll design—it reflects a broader change in how we think about women’s fashion and comfort. A team of podiatrists at Monash University analyzed 2,750 Barbie dolls produced between 1959 and 2024. They found that while every single doll in the 1960s had permanently arched feet made to fit high heels, only about 40% of Barbies in the 2020s still have that same foot shape. This shift isn’t random. It follows Barbie’s growing list of careers—astronaut, firefighter, doctor—where practical shoes make a lot more sense than stilettos. This change was even acknowledged in the 2023 Barbie movie. In one early scene, Margot Robbie’s Barbie steps out of her heels and her feet stay arched, just like the classic dolls. But later in the film, her feet flatten out, a visual cue ...
