Another benefit of the smaller local electrical generating plants is that the waste heat from the turbines can be used for space heating of community structures. A large central generating plant loses this energy up big chimneys. Coupled with the lo…

A natural gas turbine has about 25% efficiency. A boiler system, about 35%. A combination system, using turbine exhaust to boil water, passing the steam back through the turbine is about 50 - 60% efficient.
All, We have to stop being anecdotal, pollyannish, dolly 2 shoes, OMG there is technology. Energy is money! Do you think, there is ever a mention of installing a grid coupled with a 20% reduction in utility prices? Why are we leaving the tax payer o…
Hi Sid Abma,
The Picken's Plan family is very big in terms of where we have been.
Your comment about the potential for recovering waste heat from exhaust gases is worthy of comment. The rising cost of fuel, especially gas and diesel has driven the…
The Pickens Plan is to use more natural gas across the country and less coal and imported oil. There is a lot of natural gas available, and it could last a lot longer if the natural gas that is being consumed would be done at a lot higher efficiency…

Actually, grants shouldn't be provided for anything, by our federal government anyhow. The only way the feds are authorized to assist research is to provide patenting.
Our most untapped natural Resources are our students and chemist of the future.
Grants should be provided for the research of many of these Ideas near Cattle feed lots, Dairy's, and waste Pond's; as well as landfills to further explore and test the…
If it's easy to change the easily produced methane to an easily liquefied form via some sort of hydrocarbon chaining to say, butane, that would be an excellent way of packaging it for transport to be used as fuel or further chaining for plastics.

Hi Waste to Energy Group,
Chemistry was a favorite subject to me, since it fascinates me how the hydrocarbon chains are a wonder of nature.
Our oil field hydrocarbon laboratory was set to where each hydrocarbon formation can be qualitatively and q…
J. Jay, we are also looking at Methane Digestion and possible electric generation. We have considered stationary hydrogen fuel stations though instead of combustion due to the availability of clean water as a viable by-product. If I can be of any he…
Hello Jeff,
Have considered the biomass conversion to oil, aka, biodiesel as a possible fuel outlet. The point is - unless we do the methane through hydrogen fuel cell electricity generation, we do not have any CO2 for pumping the algae. Not sure th…

I haven't been through every message, so I don't know if this information has been given before, but going through Google menu to "More" and then "Scholar" and doing a search on your topic will bring up white papers availab…

I am working on an economic development proposal for the Youngstown, Ohio region, including waste-to-energy technology to increase our local energy production. This proposal includes:

Thank you Jay.
Yesterday I thought that the Banks had become the new world Government because they control the money/power that drives the fossil fuel economy. While reading your post I had a few insights (I guess that is the word) and realized tha…

- What excites you about this campaign?
- Outside the obvious environmental and economic benefits is the opportunity for people to become proactive in resolving an issue which has continued to burden our economy and environment.
- What do you want to do to help?
- I want to work with existing distribution systems to aggreagate wind energy to puchase points.

I noticed you have not joined the District OK-01 Group. It is easy to join, simply click this link District OK-01 We made our goal of 100 members, which is great.
The District is a place for us to share information about what is happening regarding energy legislation. Alot of people say they don't care about legislation. I say we have to care, not caring is what has led us to the state of disarray we find ourselves in today.… Continue

Bill C. Merrell, Ph.D. said… - Greetings:
A member of your waste to energy blog is ranting and this is counter productive. As the administrator for the web blog, can you remove his comments, so my members in NYS do not get the wrong idea. I am NYS District Leader # 2 and NYS State District Leader. I am turning off the message link and advising my members to do the same until this situation is resolved. You have a great blog, but there is a strange poster among the group who has been asked to stop by other members. He has not stopped his rantings.
Thought you want to know so wwe are not thought of as a fringe- but rather energy conscieence minded ameericans.
All the beest

You might find ELLEN HODGSON BROWN's BLOG interesting reading. She is an author with a specialty in banking. I asked her about the GREEN BANK. Her response is posted. Luane referred her site to me.

- Hi Mary ~
I am an optimist. And no matter how bad things get, my glass is always half full. I honestly believe that this will not be a prescedent for govt takeover of banks. But just in case I have to eat my hat in 20 years, I will keep a shaker of salt nearby. ;-)

- Good morning Mary!
Tha bank is charterd for only 20 years, and it is noto the normal bank that you and I go to, but for American companies or entrepeneurs to obtain funding for the Green projects & creating jobs. I do not like the nuke power of it though. :-(

- I'm through reading HR 1698, and I actually think the Green bank is a good idea. It forms the basics for funding the projects that we need to get started, to go green and create jobs. Bet part of this is that only American companies and products are able to get funded. :-)
I know we dont agree on this one, so we can agree to disagree. :-)
