When you're cruising against the wind with your power boat, do the waves represent an extra resistance?

I live near a very windy and gusty harbour, and I want to build my own commuter boat to go to work with. The winds here are often blowing at about 30-50mph. I imagine that it will be a good idea to have a very aerodynamic, low upper body for my...


Personally, I wouldn't want to be out on a home made boat in 50 MPH winds!

riding against wind: how much power does it take / how many calories burned?

i live in oklahoma, and there's very few hills, but some days i'm riding against wind that's very strong. 25mph is a kinda typical windy day.

how much would this add to calories burned per mile?

if you need more...


do go to the calculator
it depends on how fast you want to go, not just the wind
wind can be 40 mph - doesn;t add calories unless you want to go fast

what do you think about wind power? Are you for it or against it? Why?

I am for it because it is better than nuclear power, which will destroy everything around it's radius and then some. With wind power it is better for the environment.

What's your opinion and why?


I'm all for renewable energy, but the way companies are going about wind turbines in the US is all wrong. They aren't putting turbines in areas where the most electricity will be generated, they are putting turbines in areas where there is already a

    • O'Malley to try again for offshore wind development

    A recent retreat by Congress in helping to fund such clean-en­ergy projects has raised doubts about whether developers could secure financing for an offshore wind farm even with the aid O’Malley’s plan could offer.

    But relative to other legislative battles that O’Malley faces over same-sex marriage and an array of proposed tax increases , the governor is beginning his renewed fight for offshore wind ahead of those others. Powerful Democrats say they are more likely to support the governor’s plan after months of behind-the-scenes negotiations with his staff. And the company of O’Malley’s former chief of staff says it is no longer involved in a potentially lucrative venture to develop the state’s offshore wind – a factor several Democrats cited last year as compromising the integrity of the governor’s first proposal.

    Offshore Wind » Sen. Lamar says offshore wind farm's 'a taxpayer ...

    by Offshore Wind

    “It’s obviously a history-making project,” said Tom Vinson, director of federal regulatory affairs for the American Wind Energy Association.

    But to U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander, the $1 billion Cape Wind project is a costly, colossal mistake.

    “It’s a taxpayer rip-off,” the Maryville Republican said. “It creates a puny amount of very expensive electricity. Taxpayers in Tennessee will be paying extra for it because of the taxpayer subsidies. And it will destroy a very beautiful Nantucket Sound.”

    Rising electricity prices and concerns over climate change have given fuel to the wind energy movement in the United States, and supporters say the Obama administration’s decision to move ahead with the Cape Wind project is a sign the nation is ready to embrace a clean-energy resource that European countries have been harnessing for years.
