Solar Power - Coal Will Say Anything - Bob Ross




www.askmrcoal.com Coal executives will say anything to make people believe that coal is safe. Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign has won victories to retire 106 of the nation's over 500 aging coal-fired power plants, and is working to replace those plants with clean energy like wind and solar power. Sierra Club partnered with 2011 Small Agency of the Year Mekanism Inc to spread the word about the dangerous and deadly effects of coal through this online videos series featuring 1980's TV footage.

Solar Energy - Solar Energy in Germany




12 years have passed since the German parliament adopted the "Renewable Energy Sources Act" on the 29th March of 2000 . This law was primarily developed by Hermann Scheer who developed the underlying concepts during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Up until his death in 2010, Dr. Scheer was one of the most significant and uncompromising proponents of renewable energy sources in Germany and around the world. The law that gave priority to renewable energy sources, guaranteed access to the grid for renewables and included a comprehensive feed-in-tarrif system became known as "Scheers-Law" around the world. Today it has been introduced to some extent by over 60 countries and states around the globe. Since this historic push for a 100% renewable energy supply began, there have been countless developements & success stories in the field of clean energy & energy efficency around the world. But the most important success of "Scheers-Law" is without doubt the commercialization of photovoltaic technology. In the middle of the last decade many companies around the world started to massivly expand their production capacity for silicon & other materials required to make PV-solar systems. This solar gold rush that lead to investments around the globe was mainly driven by demand in Germany up untill recently. The first effects of this developement? Since 2009 the prices for PV-solar systems have fallen by up to 70% and continue to decline. Today industry experts claim that photovoltaic <b>...</b>

Alternative Energy - T. Boone Pickens: Let's transform energy -- with natural gas




www.ted.com The US consumes 25% of the world's oil -- but as energy tycoon T. Boone Pickens points out onstage, the country has no energy policy to prepare for the inevitable. Is alternative energy our bridge to an oil-free future? After losing $150 million investing in wind energy, Pickens suggests it isn't, not yet. What might get us there? Natural gas.

Solar Energy - MIT Technology Review Hails GE Jet-Engine Powered Power Plants as Key Innovation




MIT's Technology Review Hails GE's Jet-Engine Powered Power Plants as Key Innovation MIT's Technology Review magazine just published its TR50 list of the 50 most innovative companies in 2012. "The TR50 companies are leaders," said Jason Pontin, editor in chief and publisher of the magazine. "They are setting the agenda in their markets and prompting other companies to follow them." GE is on the TR50 list. The editors recognized GE's jet-engine powered gas turbines as a "key innovation" for "building flexible and efficient natural-gas power plants." The technology makes it easier for utilities to handle electricity generated by intermittent sources of renewable energy like wind and solar power. When wind stops blowing, the turbines can go from cold iron to 50 megawatts in just 10 minutes and make up for the lost electricity.
