New Buses Bring Silence to the Streets

Pickens is fond of saying "Electric power can't move an eighteen-wheeler." Well, maybe so, but it can, apparently, move a New York City bus. Read about the new hybrid buses that run on a turbine charging batteries that run the bus in the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/07/nyregion/07bus.html?ref=nyregion Any New Yorker who has ridden a city bus might be forgiven for believing a banshee is buried under the… Continue

Satellite Solar Power Station ("SSPS") Revisited---by the Japanese This Time Around

Harvesting solar power from space through orbiting solar farms sounds extremely interesting. Mitsubishi Electric Corp., a manufacturer of solar panels, has decided to join an AUD $25 billion Japanese project to construct a massive solar farm in space within three decades. Japan has already started working towards achieving its goal by developing a technology for 1-gigawatt solar farm, which would include four square kilometers of solar panels that will be stationed 36,000 kilometers above the e… Continue

The future is indeed bright for solar energy

Solar energy was the first energy source used by mankind.

Of course, the use was limited to drying things and heating caused by direct contact, but it was a use. In modern times, solar energy has been a power source since the early 1950s, but was not widespread… Continue

Response to the Titled Gas is the way to go

I ditto what tboone pickens has said only I was a young child when carter was president and had no way to check and ballence the words of any of the presidents words or congress.

Underwear for Understanding

Today, I saw a fantastic article on Yahoo! Green, discussing one environmentalist groups recent campaign. The group was upset about a particular companies sale of pesticides overseas which is outlawed here in the US. The pesticides are linked to numerous health issues in humans as well as malformations in animals. However, with some clever thinking the group came up with an innovative "solution." They decided that they would all send a pair of old underwear to the companies headquarters until it… Continue

WIND POWER IN TEXAS BEGINS TO REDUCE THE COST OF ELECTRICITY.

Just picked this off LinkedIn. It's an excerpt from a report from Bernstein Research. We need more research like this: "The rapid growth of wind power in Texas is already reducing consumption of natural gas and lowering the cost of electricity generation in the state, according to a Wall Street research group. Bernstein Research reports that the rising output of wind turbines in Texas — the world’s sixth-largest producer of wind power — has eliminated the need to fire up natural gas-powered gen… Continue

Helping the Average Guy Make a Green Impact

In early 2008, I started performing major research on the feasibility of residential scale wind turbine power and solar energy in Pennsylvania. The results were rather disappointing since the sun index is rather low here, and although there were some good areas for wind, the overall cost to install such a system to meet all or most of a homes energy needs exceeded $120,000 and would take 15 to 20 years to get paid back. Granted, you would get paid back, but this did not leave me with an easy pr… Continue
