Comments OffU.S. Becomes Top Wind Producer, Solar Next
February 4th, 2009 admin Vail Resorts said Tuesday that it would buy credits for wind power like that generated by the turbines at the Gray County Wind Farm in Kansas. Orlin Wagner/Associated PressFrom Scientific American:LONDON (Reuters) – The United States overtook Germany as the biggest producer of wind power last year, new figures showed, and will likely take the lead in solar power this year, analysts said on Monday.Even before an expected “Obama bounce” from a new President who has vowed to boost clean energy, U.S. wind power capacity surged 50 percent last year to 25 gigwatts (GW) — enough to power more than five million homes.Political and business leaders worldwide have urged “green growth” spending on clean energy to fight both recession and climate change.German wind power capacity reached nearly 24 GW, placing it second ahead of Spain and fourth-placed China, which doubled its installed wind power for the forth year running, said the Brussels-based Global Wind Energy Council.Read more ….

January 24th, 2009 admin IST Energy Corp. launched a waste-to-energy system into the consumer market that cleanly converts trash into electricity and gas heat. The GEM3T120 can process up to three tons of paper, plastic, food, wood and agricultural materials daily into pellets. The resulting energy from these pellets is enough to power and heat a 200,000 square foot building housing more than 500 people.

December 11th, 2008 admin Wind power is the most promising alternative source of energy, accordingto Mark Jacobson. (Credit: LM Glasfiber)From Science Daily:ScienceDaily (Dec. 11, 2008) — The best ways to improve energy security, mitigate global warming and reduce the number of deaths caused by air pollution are blowing in the wind and rippling in the water, not growing on prairies or glowing inside nuclear power plants, says Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford.And “clean coal,” which involves capturing carbon emissions and sequestering them in the earth, is not clean at all, he asserts.Read more ….
