PV Costs to Power Car

by Ed Ring, December 31st, 2007 3 Comments »

In previous posts, “Fisker’s Photovoltaic Cars,” and “Photovoltaic Powered Cars,” we have reported on the potential for commuters to power their vehicles with energy collected from rooftop photovoltaics.  But until now we haven’t been able to share some of our spreadsheet analysis with our readers.  While it’s still not possible to include these online interactive [...]

Global Warming Questions

by Ed Ring, December 31st, 2007 8 Comments »

Earlier this month we posted a feature article entitled “35 Inconvenient Truths” by Christopher Monckton.  The story attracted a number of emails, but none that actually challenged the content.  The reason we continue to post this side of the debate is because in our research, talking with climate scientists and doing our own fact checking, [...]

Land for Biofuel

by Ed Ring, December 28th, 2007 7 Comments »

Earlier this month, in our post “Biofuel’s Potential,” we compared the best case biofuel yields today - about 10,000 barrels per square mile per year - to the best case biofuel yields in the future according to many biofuel experts - about 50,000 barrels per square mile per year.  To summarize, the difference between 10,000 barrels [...]

Plasco’s MSW to Energy

by Ed Ring, December 28th, 2007 9 Comments »

Back in October 2007, in our post “Ze-Gen’s Waste to Energy“ we reported on a Massachusetts-based company, Ze-Gen, who appeared to be “possibly the furthest along in the race to develop technology to turn waste into fuel - eliminating the need for landfills in the bargain.”  That was then.  There are other contenders in this race…

Clean Energy Acts

by Ed Ring, December 20th, 2007 2 Comments »

Can California get ”all electric utilities to produce 50 percent of their electricity from clean energy sources” by 2025? That should be easy if government mandates the transition and funds the right new infrastructure, and gets out of the way everywhere else.  California’s economy already has a fantastic import/export balance.  Imagine if California cut her dependance on energy imports [...]

Solar Thermal Storage

by Ed Ring, December 17th, 2007 7 Comments »

This past October, in our report “Ausra’s Solar Thermal Power,” we reported on this newcomer in the rapidly growing solar thermal power industry, with at least two innovations that could make them a major participant in this sector which is finally taking off.  One of Ausra’s innovations is the design of their solar field - they have taken the single [...]

The Potential of Biofuel

by Ed Ring, December 14th, 2007 4 Comments »

If the present is problematic, that doesn’t mean the future has no potential.  We have railed against the catastrophe in progress throughout the tropics, as the last rainforests are razed to grow sugar cane and oil palms.  Over and over, we’ve reminded readers to beware of carbon taxes and carbon trading schemes, because European carbon [...]
