China Daily reported Thursday that Asia's first 1.5-megawatt solar thermal power station will be built in a Beijing suburb at a cost of $14.7 million and start operating next year.

Ethics must improve in Washington

Lobbyists are paying $25,000 to join U.S. Republican House members at a retreat where they will be able to talk about business interests, lawmakers say. "It's not like they're sitting there plugging their corporate issues -- but as with anything, their clients' interests inevitably come up," an unidentified official who has attended the retreats told a Washington political newspaper. The Congressional Institute conducts research and hosts seminars on topics including healthcare, taxes, energy an… Continue

Tenacity shows results

I have been out pounding the bricks and pressing the flesh so to speak. I e-mailed my first petition into myenergy this week and I must say it wasn't that hard to do. Some people are very negative and feel like nothing they do or say will make a difference. I have told them that if they are a mushroom on the sidelines doing nothing that they are in fact part of the problem. Now if they get up off their butts and participate in change they will in fact become part of the solution. There is streng… Continue

Greed and power has put the USA at risk!

It is all about the money.

I am suspicious that the Saudis may have actually temporarily lowered the world price of oil recently to slow or defer our exploration efforts for energy alternatives. The Saudis are not our friends they do not like us. We are infidels in their opinion. They do like our money. As a nation the USA still controls a great portion of the world wealth. If the Saudis can wreck us economically and get rich doing it they will do so asap.

The Saudis already have more money th… Continue

The opposition are local propery owners who are concerned with 1) view and 2)noise 3) birds. They have hired an "acoustics engineer".
