The Obama administration announced more details on how the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act funds will be allocated. Secretary Chiu revealed that nearly
$800 million will be made available for advanced bio-fuels research and
development as well as the development of commercial scale bio-refinery
demonstration projects. This investment will help reduce our dependence on
foreign oil and move us away from a fossil fuel based economy. The
administration is counting on the creation of millions of green jobs from this
and other investments in alternative energy.

In a presentation before national policymakers and analysts today, leading clean
energy CEOs, venture capitalists and academics unveiled the "Gigaton Throwdown,"
an assessment of the nation's clean energy potential that identifies seven
industries capable of creating 5 million clean energy jobs and reducing CO2
emissions by 5-7 gigatons by 2020. The report, a collaborative effort between
leading researchers at UC Berkeley, MIT, University of Michigan, Stanford, and
Drexel University, and clean tech leaders, challenges Washington policymakers to
remove obstacles that keep billions of capital investment dollars sitting on the
sidelines.

For many green job-seekers the prospect of a beginning or transitioning into a
career in the wind industry seems both idyllic and unattainable. In order to get
be a part of this growing industry around the world , job-seeker must be
prepared to upgrade their green education in order to both meet the requirements
of employers and be competitive in the job market. There are several such
schools and programs around the world with many more in the planning stage.
Today we are highlighting one such school in the state of Texas known
appropriately as the  Texas Wind Energy Institute.  The vision of the school is
position Texas as the leader in technical, managerial and professional education
for the Wind Power industry.  The Institute offers certifications in basic wind
technology as well as an associate degree and the first of its kind in the
United States Doctorate degree in wind science engineering

Hi Krystal Planeters,

I write the http://Cleantechblog.com, and operate the http://Cleantech.org
portal, so I'm very passionate about the next generation of energy and the
future of the environment.

I've joined the group to help Troy ramp up the content and improve the
community.  I actually own a group on Linked In with over 10,000 members and
hundreds of comments and messages a week, and am excited about bringing the
communities together.

So here's my promise:

I'm in this sector every day, so I'll keep good content coming to seed the
discussion, but you all have to help.

We are going to build the biggest and best next gen energy community on Yahoo.

Zero tolerance for junk.


And here's my request:

If you've been a great member of the group, keep it up.

If you haven't been around in a while, please come back and give us a chance.

Give me feedback on what you want, it's your group, after all.

Participate, participate, participate.  Let's all learn together.



And here's our posting policy:

Rule number one is no spam.

Only posts related to energy and environment will be allowed.

Don't be rude, no personal attacks on other members.

No requests to join other groups except our own network!

Rant if you want, but have a point.

Absolutely no advertorials unless you ask the moderators first.  If you want to
make yourself known to the group, by all means, but show off your intelligence
by saying something interesting to others, not just touting what you do.

Violations will be deleted.  Violators will be deleted.  Zero tolerance policy
in force.  Spam won't work, so don't waste my time.  I can promise, you'll only
waste it once.

Yours,

Neal

Boone Pickens announced this week that his mega wind farm was icing an eventual
4,000 MW windfarm this week.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090707/ap_on_bi_ge/us_pickens_wind_energy

Apparently he's looking for buyers for $2 Bill in turbines.  A far cry from a
year ago when your credibility as a wind developer hung in part on whether or
not you had turbine supply.

As difficulty constructing the transmission lines was the stated reason for the
the about face, I guess even Texas can't always throw up a transmission line
wherever it wants.  California utilities have been struggling with this issue
for years.

http://www.cleantechblog.com/2007/07/big-green-power-is-flowing-but-where.html

T&D remains the seminal issue, second only to how big are the subsidies and RPS
requirements, in building renewables into true scale.

And for those of you who haven't read the Pickens Plan to switch a chunk of our
power sector from gas to wind, and a chunk of our transport sector from oil to
gas, details at PickensPlan.com.

It is estimated that about 1.6 billion people on this planet live without access
to electricity, and 400 million of them are in India. The "Solar Lantern
Project" aims to provide solar rechargeable lanterns to rural areas in India,
where electricity is still not available. This project has been advocated and
promoted by Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, Director- General of The Energy and Resources
Institute (TERI), India.

Solar lanterns not only contribute to improving the quality of peoples' lives
but help prevent global warming by reducing CO2 emissions.

plants to reduce CO2.

I have an old website:
http://belizenorth.com
where I have been pumping for windpower for Belize for two or three  years.  The
wind blows constantly along the coast, and would be ideal for a windfarm.  You
can see my effort here:
http://www.belizenorth.com/windpower.htm

Of course, I got all the usual objections... too noisy, ugly, too expensive. 
All the while, Fortis (which owns their elec. company) was pushing for yet
another hydroelectric damn.

Here in Tombstone, I'm beating a drum for solar ovens!!
I have a new website which will eventually show some of that progress.
http://rixwest.com

I will look forward to input from the group.

Just recieved the invite,  not sure from who,  I live in NE AL,  offgrid with
PV's charging batteries.  I have refined my compost bin to also heat water and
use the hot water to make fuel alcohal.  Planning on a wind turbine soon.

Hi,
    I'm Ken Digweed, I am looking for anyone who can help with finding a way of
making Aviation Fuel out of any Bio Products?
I know you can use vegetable oil to run cars,the question is what do you use to
run planes when the Oil runs out?
Many thanks,
              K.Digweed.

Hello -

    Have some of the resources (such as the land in Colorado) to make this
project happen.  It includes many ground-breaking features and I believe can be
a model home globally showcasing an integration of many sustainability features.
    Want to hear more, or want to be a part of making it happen?  We can carry on
a discussion here at Krystal Planet.

This video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFGiWiXMHn0 has no cut away for the 1 minute and 28 seconds it runs, and looks to be quite genuine, but I’d like to get some honest feedback on whether I should dust off my text books and brush away the cobwebs in my workshop to make an attempt to replicate this apparatus?

Hi Cleantech team,
Thanks so much for the invitation to join this group. My interest is more
towards low-cost renewable and the age-old dream of 'free-energy'.

Speaking of 'Free-Energy', Google decorated their logo yesterday (July 10) to
celebrate Nikola Tesla's birthday. Hopefully they will ignore the other giant of
electricity, Thomas Edison who was over acknowledged during his time !

Good idea to dust off your text books! I too am highly skeptical and ask myself where the energy comes from.

The energy that can be extracted from magnets is that obtained by de-magnetizing them, no? Otherwise they are no more a provider of continuous power than a compressed spring. I imagine that like any other machine the efficiency will be less than 100%, so the overall energy regained will presumably be less than the energy taken to originally magnetize the magnets.

I would love to be proved wrong! What am I missing?

I feel that the storage of energy is the thing holding back both solar and wind
generated energy for independent, off the grid use. Everyone seems to accept
lead acid batteries for this although they are expensive and not all that
environmentally friendly. If one is trying to run a say 25 family village off
the grid, on solar energy would you use lead acid batteries for night time
power? Or some other type battery like an Edison cell?

I've seen suggestions to store excess energy as heat in vegetable oil and get it
back out using Sterling engine generators, but I've seen no practical trials of
such. Anyone have thoughts or information on this?

thank you for the invite! IT WAS nice to get an invite to this site which cares
about changing the earth to a cleaner one and saving it before its to late some
day! thanks !

i got a site i put up if anyones interested in a small scale tesla wirelesss
energy system, i modeled it after colorado springs but i wanted to prove to this
world that tesla was correct in his work and further show us a future where 
energy would be obtainable at any point on earth even in hostile weather
conditions like deserts and desolate areas. it can still be improved so much
more but i dont have all the money to make it happen. i have done a 20 ft
wireless energy transmission but i feel i could get maybe 100 ft to even more
than that!

thanks again for the invite krystal planet!
