- Soapbox: New energy rules could unleash an economic boom and help quash climate change
  Posted by Jeff from Feeds.feedburner
  In 1997, as the Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change was being negotiated, the U.S. Senate voted, 95-0, to reject any agreement that "would result in serious harm to the economy of the United States." The senators were acting on the widespread fear that the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy would hurt American businesses and cost millions of jobs. Those were the beliefs and the politics of the times. But times change.

  One more reason to ditch Ethanol: "Ethanol is being promoted as a clean and renewable fuel that will reduce global warming and air pollution," Mark Z.

The tower will produce 11MW of electricity, enough to power some 6,000 homes.

- A Nice Stiff Breeze, and a Nice Little Power Bill
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  Mr. Sansone owns the 80-foot wind turbine outside his home. And it generates enough energy not only for his swimming pool motor and hot tub, but also for the air-conditioning and other electricity in his 1,600-square-foot home. Since he bought the system, which cost $32,000, from the Bergey Windpower Company in Norman, Okla., he has watched 20 people in his Oak Hills community, about an hour east of Los Angeles, put up their own turbines.
