Renewable Fuel Standard Should Be Based On Science – Not Special Inte
2009-06-21 20:39:00 Biofuels aren’t all bad. I’m not a huge fan of corn ethanol, but scientists believe it can help cut back global warming emissions from vehicles. So fine, let’s put a few of our resources and dollars behind it. But we certainly shouldn’t spend billions converting forests and grasslands to farmlands in order to grow crops for fuel. It’s a huge waste of funding and, even worse, such irresponsibility will lead to outrageous pollution. Lobbyists are working overtime in order to pressure the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ignore…science… when creating the Renewable Fuel Standard. This is the first global warming pollution criteria for the United States dealing with ethanol, biodiesel, and other renewable fuels. In order to fix this situation and help protect our planet, we need to speak louder than the lobbyists. The EPA is holding a public comment period through July 27 on these proposed standards. Use this opportunity to contact Adm...

FPL (FPL) Renewable leader
2009-04-07 15:00:00 "No utility is better positioned in renewable energy than FPL Group (NYSE: FPL), America’s top producer of both wind and solar power," says Roger Conrad in The Utility Forecaster."Government mandates, a flood of federal money and near-certain carbon regulation make renewable energy a sure bet for recession-ravaged 2009."Historically, FPL’s core has been Florida Power & Light, an electric utility blessed by hot summers, robust customer growth and friendly regulation."Starting in 2008, however, unregulated power production unit NextEra Energy became its biggest earner, with $2.04 of FPL’s $3.84 per-share profit. As a result, overall company earnings grew 10% despite shrinking utility sales on 0.% fewer customers."Looking ahead, the utility is likely to remain weak, even after a 10% cut in operating costs below projections. Investments in regulated natural gas, nuclear and renewable plants and efficiency, however, will add to its...

Solar Garden Lights - The Happy Marriage of Gardening and Renewable Energy
2008-05-14 04:46:00 Solar Garden Lights are becoming of age; their application is almost through puberty. Solar Powered Garden Lighting is reaching maturity. And no wonder first of all they are a sign of environmental awareness, and secondly solar lights are very convenient. In the old days we were struggling with the wiring in our garden, and especially grid connected systems in an outdoor environment are an accident waiting to happen if not maintained well. Placing additional lights was a good afternoons work, or you had to hire a specialized electrician to do it for you. Solar powered lights are an example of user friendliness, stick them in the ground, and place them wherever you need lighting. Do choose a spot that receives enough sunlight during the day, switch them on. Installation job done! The advantages of solar powered lights are obvious, no wiring, low or non-existent maintenance, and environmental friendly. They are especially the way to go if you are into organically or green gardening. ...

Taking Renewable Energy Options Out Of The Hands Of Bureaucrats Posted By :
2008-05-01 23:42:00 Congress and the bureaucrats in Washington, the presidents of the last thirty years or so and others who are supposed to be responsible have known for a long time that new sources of energy are desperately needed to compensate for the eventual disappearance of existing fuels as well as to slow the buildup of climate-changing "greenhouse gases" in the atmosphere. In fact, wind and solar power have gained significant footholds in some parts of the world. A number of other sensible fuel options have already been developed and even tested out in university and corporate laboratories. In view of the reality of how fast that these solutions need to be advanced into widespread useage, though, we are lagging way behind. We are simply not being developed fast enough to avert the multifaceted global energy catastrophe that lies ahead. A recent study by United College Marketing Services has shown that student credit lines have increased to over $6,000. Credit card usage has tripled sin...

The Pros and Cons of Using Renewable Energy
2008-04-25 15:06:00 When people think or energy sources, they mostly think of coal, natural gas and oil, these fuels have been the source of energy for a number of years. One problem however is that they are limited in supply and availability.Estimates have shown that the currently available sources will only meet our current energy demands for about 50 to 70 years or so. In order to find alternative sources of energy the world has decided to pursue renewable energy sources. However even renewable energy sources have their advantages and disadvantages too.The available renewable energy sources that we have include solar, hydro, wind, geothermal, ocean and biomass. The most common of these advantages is that they are clean energy sources and do not pollute the air. They also do not contribute to global warming or greenhouse effects. Because the sources of such energy are natural the cost of operations are substantially reduced and they require less maintenance on their plants. One common disadvantage is...

Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation from DfT now in effect
2008-04-17 00:56:00 The U.K. has been planning on requiring 2.5 percent of all road fuels sold to come from biofuels, rising to 5 percent by 2010, as part of a plan known as the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO). The time has finally come for that plan to commence, as April 15 marked its official start.Transport Minister Jim Fitzpatrick says,"Making it easier for motorists to use greener fuel is an important step towards reducing carbon emissions from transport. It should help save millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide in the coming years." Requiring biofuels is not enough, thought, as the methods used to create the fuels and the sustainability of the process is equally as important. The DfT is on it and, starting in September of this year, the Renewable Fuels Agency will publish reports from fuel suppliers regarding the sustainability and environmental impact of the fuels that they deliver. There are three ways for suppliers to meet the standards as required by the RTFO: By supplying the rele... |
