President Obama Happy with unemployment figures
A Happy President should feel better about economy
An energy policy for the United States has become like the weather: everyone talks about it, but no one ever does anything about it. This lack of consistent direction has created volatile, and recently, sharply negative returns to investors in the Alternative Energy space. With a lot of hot air being generated in the months …

Despite the availability of clean and sustainable energy sources like solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal and biomass, many states depend on outdated and dirty energy sources. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Missouri and Tennessee are among the most in need of an energy portfolio diversification. The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has identified solutions for these and other …

Demand for solar PV energy in the U.S. continues to gain considerable traction. During 2011, installed PV capacity reached the 2 GW level, with 880 MW allocated to the commercial sector and 760 MW to the utility segment. However, this growth has not been realized without certain challenges. Indeed, often years of negotiation take place …

When somebody mentions renewable energy, most of us think primarily of methods we can use for home production, namely wind turbines and solar panels. However, there are a number of alternative energy sources still waiting to break through into the public conscience. Airborne forms of wind power are arguably some of the most exciting amongst …

Sustainable Energy and Renewable Energy are terms that are thrown around a lot these days, but what exactly do they mean, and how many countries are taking them seriously? The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that in 2008, 10% of the world’s energy consumption was from renewable energy sources. EIA forecasts that by 2035, consumption …

A new study of renewable energy’s technical potential finds that every state in the nation has the space and resource to generate clean energy. The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory produced the study, U.S. RE Technical Potential, which looks at available renewable resources in each state. It establishes an upper-boundary estimate of …

Moonbeams, rainbows, and fairy dust.Hey, Neonerd, you not been piyang attention lately? Liberals have been trying to dismantle hydro-electric dams, not build more of them. You’d have better chance getting permits for building a nuke reactor in your basement than you’d have of getting a permit to build a hydro-electric dam. They sure as hell do not consider them to be environmentally sound.Solar cells use more energy to manufacture than they generate.. maybe someday that will change, but the technology is not there yet, nor is the storage battery technology there (since the sun does not shine 100% of the time, battery storage is required). Wind while it does not produce nearly enough even were you to cover the entire state of Texas with wind turbines, it is a decent start unfortunately nobody wants them in their backyard (like Martha’s Vineyard elites), and environuts are screaming about them killing birds. Even then we are back to the problem of wind not blowing all the time, and batteries are required which use toxic chemicals. Liberals are always telling us how brilliant the French are so why is it they disapprove so strongly to us following the one good idea the French had, and produce the majority of our energy with nuclear reactors?
