| Solar Financier’s Outlook is Bright; Tax Credits’ Future is Cloudy RENEWABLE ENERGY WORLD 2008 — Adding solar power to your building is getting easier, thanks to a financing model borrowed from utility-scale renewable energy projects. Power purchase agreements are now an option for getting your own clean energy source, without laying out the capital. But even big projects don’t happen without the right incentives in place. Some important federal subsidies are due to expire if Congress doesn’t act soon to extend them. Will that happen in an election year? Does this dark cloud cast gloom on renewable energy’s future? Denis Du Bois asks Mark McLanahan of MMA Renewable Ventures about his expectations for the production tax credit, the investment tax credit, and the global economy. |
| Sensors For Bat-inspired Spy Plane Under Development A six-inch robotic spy plane modeled after a bat is being developed to gather data from sights, sounds and smells in urban combat zones and transmit information back to a soldier in real time. |
| Newest GREET Model Updates Environmental Impacts Of Specific Fuels And Automobiles The newest version of the Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions and Energy use in Transportation model will provide researchers with even more tools to evaluate and compare the environmental impacts of new transportation fuels and advanced vehicle technologies. The newest update released May 9 will allow scientists to model combustion of ethanol produced from Brazilian sugarcane and used by U.S. automobiles; production and use of bio-butanol as a potential transportation fuel; and production and use of biodiesel and renewable diesel via hydrogenation, coal/biomass co-feeding for Fischer-Tropsch diesel production and various corn ethanol plant types with different process fuels. |
| As Seen in the St. Charles County Journal: Farmergy Installs Solar Panels on Busch Estate As Seen October 31, 2007 in the St. Charles County Journal Busch estate installs solar panels By Eric Becker Kirkwood-based Farmergy on Oct. 23 completed the installation of what it says is the largest private solar energy panel project in the region at Adolphus Busch IV’s Belleau Farms in St. Charles County. But the topic of the day was improving the state’s standing for usage of renewable energy sources. Busch’s hope in installing the solar panels was to push the state toward increased consciousness of renewable energy sources, something he said the state sorely lacks. With the passage of the. |
| Wireless EEG System Self-powered By Body Heat And Light Scientists have developed a battery-free wireless 2-channel EEG system powered by a hybrid power supply using body heat and ambient light which could be used to monitor brain waves after a head injury or for other applications. The hybrid power supply combines a thermoelectric generator that uses the heat dissipated from a person’s temples and silicon photovoltaic cells. The entire system is wearable and integrated into a device resembling headphones. The system can provide more than 1mW on average indoor, which is more than enough for the targeted application. |
| Mark Twain.Sage “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” –Mark Twain Mark Twain’s quotes are some of my very favorites. Especially this one. He reminds us here to get out and LIVE! But, how can this quote be tied to renewable energy? .You can’t expect me to spell everything out for you! |
