Paul is correct. The Federal Government has edicted smart grid. Everyone is
forced to purchase power from the local smart grid.  Local generated solar,
wind, biomass energy will be subject to smart grid control, limitations, profit.
Unfortunately, the unified north american smart grid, unlike the "three
separated US conventional grids", the unified smart grid  will be subject to
routine attack from foreign terrorist located globally.  Dumb idea - the smart
grid.  But, the utility can control the ambient temperature in each household
with a smart grid and continuously monitor all energy related activities of all
energy users.

Im sorry to disagree with you, but it is the utilities that own the grid and
as such any implementation of smart grid technology will be applied to their
own advantage, and rightly so as a private for profit corporation. These
companies existence is driven by profit, not benevolence as their primary
responsibility.

Can Solar Power Be Cheaper Than Coal?

http://testfunda.com/examprep/mba-resource/current-affairs/article/can-solar-pow\
er-be-cheaper-than-coal.htm?assetid=a11c66d1-9f01-4595-9b70-3d883b9342fe

As the United States gets ready to implement emission control norms for its
various power generating and distributing industries, each of them has been
jockeying for a favourable position in order to gain benefits from the
cap-and-pay system being implemented. After the coal industry's attempts at
trying to prove coal is a cost-effective and less-polluting fuel, the solar
energy industry is now claiming that their output per unit can be among the
cheapest, even cheaper than coal.

The foundation of their claims is based on not just the cost of the machinery
but also on the adoption of various smart grid, efficient energy generation, and
transmission and storage technologies.The industry claims that combined
together, these can help deliver electricity at a cost lower than that of a
medium capacity coal fired plant which works 24hours a day. Though the initial
cost of setting up a plant is high, the same gets distributed over the years as
production cost is negligible once the plant is up and running. Sources claim
that instead of investing in plants that have a low initial cost and high
running cost, viz. oil, coal and gas fired plants,we should invest in plants
that cost more in the beginning but have low running costs and a very low impact
on the environment. Over time, coal and other fuel based plants become expensive
to run not only based on the cost of fuel but also the cost to the environment –
a cost which will soon be measurable once the carbon credits system is
implemented in the country.

Solar energy industry executives have another telling argument against peak-load
plants – typically the gas-fired plants that are run to manage peak loads during
the day when air conditioning,heating and other demands are at their highest.
Since the demand for these is highest when the sun is up i.e. in the middle of
the day, solar plants will be ideal to manage the peak load demand generated.
However, the industry is not keen in positioning solar as being a source for
only peak load requirements.This would marginalize the industry and prevent it
from covering the broaderspectrum of efficient and eco-friendly power generation
needs that it is capable of.

Solar and wind energy generation industries have been seeing a rising demand in
the past couple of years. With the focus shifting towards `green' and
sustainable development, the advantages that these two offer for power
generation are tremendous. The only drawbacks that they face are the initial
upfront cost in terms of machinery that is required and the cost of land needed
to set them up. On a like to like basis, a solar energy power generation
facility requires four times as much space as a conventional coal or gas fired
power plant. Additionally, the energy generated by the former are only at
certain times during the day compared to a conventional power plant which can
run 24 hours if need be, hence the requirement for facilities which can
efficiently store the power generated.

Renewable energy technologies are the need of the hour and the dependence on
fossil fuels needs to go down if we are to preserve the planet for our future
generations to enjoy. The sooner volumes from renewable energy sources such as
solar and wind reach tipping point, the cheaper will the technology become.

Going Green in our future best interest

http://www.news-press.com/article/20091127/OPINION/91125071/1015/Going-Green-in-\
our-future-best-interest

Our community is seeing ever-growing excitement over ways to make our homes and
buildings more energy efficient and environmentally sensitive.
That's good news and bodes well for the type of edifices we build and how we, as
individuals, use our precious energy resources.
Here are some recently reported examples:
• Cape Coral is applying for a $72.4 million federal grant to make 7,000 homes
more efficient by changing air conditioners and creating an annual savings for
homeowners of $1,128.
• Florida Gulf Coast University is moving forward with its 2-megawatt solar
field, which should be up and running by the end of December. It will power
several buildings on campus.
• Benchmark General Contractors considers "going green" a big part of its
strategy and built a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-certified
commercial building and is working on a sustainable, environmentally responsible
community in Sanibel.
• Jacqueline Upshaw of Fort Myers will now be living in a home with solar panels
heating her water and window tinting to keep her home from overheating in the
summer.
These are just a few examples of where our community is showing leadership in
this important pursuit.
Business and county leaders have pointed to Southwest Florida as a hub for
alternative energy research and jobs.
The News-Press Editorial Board has editorialized that we would like the state
Legislature to update public policy expanding our array of alternative and
renewable energy sources, such as solar and nuclear.
That could happen sooner than March's regular session if the issue can be
included in a likely special session on transportation in December.
On an individual level, you can work to make your energy use more efficient by
conserving water, turning off lights and appliances not in use, and switching to
fluorescent bulbs, for example.
Locally, Lee County has been featured in national periodicals for its pursuit of
such things as biofuels via the jatropha plant, which, unlike corn-based
ethanol, does not compete against the food supply.
You can learn more about local efforts by going to the "Managing Climate Change
with Sustainable Initiatives" conference on Dec. 4.
It's coordinated by the University of Florida extension office in Lee County and
the Institute for Food and Agricultural Science.

The Electric Car Will Usher in Smart Grid 2.0

http://seekingalpha.com/article/175114-the-electric-car-will-usher-in-smart-grid\
-2-0

By John Addison

The electric car will facilitate the smart grid and a renewable energy charging
infrastructure. The electric car will help make the smart grid relevant to
consumers. Right now most cars use inefficient engines fueled with gasoline or
diesel. In the coming decades, many cars will use electricity. With a smart
grid, renewable energy will do much of the charging.

New electric cars from Nissan (NSANY), Toyota (TM), GM, Ford (F) and others will
use a charging standard J1772. The new charging units at home and work will
include a smart meter chip. When a driver plugs-in, charging will follow
preferences pre-established by the car owner. Many will prefer to save money and
charge at night when rates are cheaper.

States with the earliest adopters of electric cars are also states where
utilities face big renewable portfolio standards (RPS). The lowest cost
renewable per megawatt is wind, but much of the wind turbine power is delivered
at night when winds are most constant. With a smart grid and price incentives,
electric cars will be charged off-peak using renewables.

The promise of smart grid electric vehicle charging was discussed at the
GreenBeat 2009 conference last week by technology leaders such as Google (GOOG)
and Cisco (CSCO), and utility leaders such as Duke Energy (DUK) and Southern
California Edison. Al Gore presented smart grid and super grid findings from his
comprehensive new book about climate solutions – Our Choice.

The current Smart Grid 1.0 is frankly boring. Smart Grid 2.0 promises to make
our life better with less use of damaging coal power emissions.

With Smart Grid 1.0, new electric meters are being installed. Utilities save
because they no longer need to send people out to read meters. Services can
start and stop without rolling trucks to make manual connects and disconnects.
Utilities are saving while the consumers pay for the new meters with rate hikes.

Electric utility industry has shifted from years of falling costs to rising
costs. Utilities need to shift energy use and vehicle charging off-peak to avoid
unnecessary investments in expensive peaking power plants. A smart grid is
needed to fully utilize renewable energy and moderate fossil fuel emissions.

Smart Grid 2.0 could help some people over $1,000 per year by automating their
preferences in heating, cooling, running smart appliances, and even doing jobs
like running the dishwasher when excess renewable energy is available. Energy
efficiency and demand management is already saving some enterprises millions per
year. Most state public utility commissions (PUC) are afraid of implementing
consumer time-of-use (TOU) pricing to give people the incentive to use energy
when it is plentiful not scarce. The latest class action lawsuit hardly
encourages PUCs to act more boldly.

Public utility commissions are more willing to allow pricing incentives for
vehicle charging. Electric cars will help move us to Smart Grid 2.0. Through web
browsers, smartphones, and vehicle displays, drivers will select smart charging
preferences and get feedback on how to use less electricity and save money.
Early electric cars will cost more than their gasoline counterparts, but their
electric charging will cost a fraction of the cost of gasoline fill-ups.

Currently, there are only 40,000 electric cars running in the United States. As
exciting new offerings are being tested and sold, 1.5 million electric cars are
expected in the U.S. by 2015 presented Sharon Allan, the Senior Executive, North
American Smart Grid Practice, for Accenture.

Charging these electric cars will help transform the promise of a smart grid
into a convenient cost-saving reality.

Experts: Michigan's clean energy industry would benefit from feed-in tariffs
http://www.annarbor.com/business-review/feed-in-tariffs-seen-as-help-for-alt-ene\
rgy-industry/

Two tools used in other states and nations could give a significant boost to the
clean energy technology industry in Michigan and the United States, a state
official said Friday.

Stanley "Skip" Pruss, director and chief energy officer at the Michigan
Department of Labor and Economic Growth, said a soon-to-be released federal
report will recommend feed-in tariffs as a way to complement renewable portfolio
standards legislation that has been implemented in several states.

Feed-in tariffs reward producers of alternative energy with higher payment
rates, and renewable portfolio standards, or RPS, require utilities to use
renewable energy sources.

Pruss said Germany has become a leader in alternative energy largely due to
feed-in tariffs, and that Michigan can do the same.

He spoke at the Cleantech Conference 2009 at the University of Michigan on
Friday as part of a panel addressing development of Michigan's cleantech
industry.

Pruss said converting an industrial base to alternative energy production is
possible, using Germany as an example: "They did it," he said.

"This is possible with the correct policy," Pruss said. "At the end of 2008,
(Germany had) 281,000 employed in alternative energy. Next year, they'll have
more than in their auto industry."

He reminded the audience that German automakers include Volkswagen, BMW,
Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Audi.

Several states are considering feed-in tariffs, which give homeowners and
businesses incentives to install and connect alternative energy systems into the
existing grid.

Adapting Michigan's auto manufacturing and supply chain facilities to
alternative energy has been the goal of NextEnergy since it was created by
former Gov. John Engler, and Pedro Guillen, director of industry services for
the nonprofit, outlined its achievements this year. They include $20 million in
research and development programs in partnership with supply chain companies,
with $200 million in the pipeline and $290 million in new business for supply
chain firms.

Panelist Jerry Mader, who researches energy and transportation at the U-M
College of Engineering, said the university has emphasized commercialization of
research more since the hiring of Stephen Forrest as its vice president for
research, and touted the recent milestone of $1 billion in research funding at
the university.

But he added that turning that money into gainful employment - after most of the
students in the audience indicated by a show of hands that they plan to leave
the state after graduating - is another story.

"We need to translate more of that billion dollars into jobs," he said. "We're
doing a lot more, but this is the dawn of what we need to do," he said.

Loch McCabe, president of clean energy consultants Shepard Advisors, said
Michigan can become a leader in alternative energy by taking advantage of the
state's existing research institutions, research and development "innovation
ethic," and its "export oriented" supplier line.

"If we play our cards right, we can leapfrog a lot of other states and countries
in the years to come," he said.

And Mary Lou Benecke, vice president of government affairs for Dow Corning
Corp., said Michigan's economic troubles should be sufficient incentive to enact
policies that will promote the cleantech industry.

"If this recession isn't enough to give us a kick where we need it ... then we
don't deserve it," she said. "We need urgency."

Program puts city the on path to electrification
By JASON FEW

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/editorial/outlook/6734482.html

Imagine, for a moment, Texas with a growing fleet of electric vehicles. Our
environment would be better off, because fully electric vehicles have no
emissions. We would need less gasoline and diesel to power our cars, so we would
need less imported oil. And because electric vehicles cost less to maintain and
operate than conventional vehicles, drivers would save some money.

Public incentives might allow electric vehicles access to HOV lanes. Retailers
might offer free charging and preferred parking. You might sell power back to
the power grid by day, earning extra money while you work. Companies like
Reliant Energy could provide charging stations, transforming home garages and
parking lots into the filling stations of the future.

In Houston, we are already getting started. Last week, the city of Houston and
Reliant launched an ambitious program to bring plug-in vehicles here. The "Power
of the Plug-In" pilot includes 10 city-owned Toyota Priuses converted to plug-in
hybrid electric vehicles and 10 charging stations. Seven of the 10 stations will
be available to the public.

Houston's enthusiasm for the automobile makes it a terrific place to embark on
electrification. The city, according to Rice University sociologist Stephen
Klineberg, was built on behalf of the automobile. Indeed, the number of vehicle
miles traveled in Houston increased 36 percent between 1990 and 2000, and is
expected to rise an additional 46 percent by 2022, according to Texas A&M
University's Texas Transportation Institute.

We all know how fossil fuels sustain our economy and drive growth. The U.S.
transportation sector consumes nearly 14 million barrels of petroleum each day —
more than the total oil consumption of any other nation in the world. And we are
all familiar with the consequences, pollution among them. Even here in the
energy capital of the world, there is considerable debate about the effects of
carbon emissions on global warming.

Wider use of electric vehicles will help cut emissions, even if the electricity
that powers them is generated from coal. When charged solely with no-carbon
electricity — for instance at night when there is more wind generation — their
emissions fall to zero. While today electric cars might cost more than
traditional vehicles, prices will fall with the introduction of mass market
all-electric vehicles. Coupled with the lower cost-per-mile and maintenance
needs of electric motors, the broad adoption of electric vehicles will be
transformational for consumers in Texas and across the globe.

Another advantage of electric vehicles is how they fit into the broader electric
infrastructure, which is being driven by innovation and choice, especially in
competitive markets such as Texas. Reliant has already introduced smart
electricity for homeowners, allowing them to better manage energy consumption
and cost. The electric vehicle will take full advantage of the smart grid,
allowing you to charge your vehicle at times when demand for electricity and
prices are both low.

Electric cars are closer than you might think. This week, our parent company,
NRG Energy, joined with automakers, utilities, battery manufacturers, smart grid
and infrastructure companies to form the Electrification Coalition. The group's
goal: to help guide the transformation of light-duty ground transportation from
fossil fuels to electricity. And last week Nissan and Reliant announced an
agreement to promote broader adoption of electric vehicles in Houston and around
the nation at the launch of Nissan's all electric LEAF, the first mass-market
zero-emission vehicle.

Through these efforts — including the "Power of the Plug-in" pilot with the city
— we will learn more about how plug-in vehicles perform, what infrastructure and
services are needed, and how to develop the policies and incentives needed to
make electric vehicles simple, practical and attractive. With all of these
elements coming together here, Houston and Texas will be among the first to see
the benefits.

Houston is a city that has always embraced the future, especially in energy. We
blazed a trail for the oil economy. We're embracing renewable wind and solar
energy. And NRG Energy is leading a nuclear revival with plans to add two more
no-carbon plants in South Texas. Indeed, we see a future where low- and
no-carbon energy will play a pivotal role in the electrification of light-duty
vehicles.

There will be challenges, but I believe Houston can meet them. Join us as
together we start to transform transportation as we know it and to create the
electric city of the future.

Few is president of Reliant Energy.

G'Day All,

FYI

Regards,
Chuck

First Solar plant re-energized
Expansion reflects growth in demand across North America

http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091122/BUSINESS03/911229997


First Solar Inc., which began in Toledo and is headquartered in Arizona, has its
only North American factory in Perrysburg Township. The plant is expanding.

A huge expansion of a solar panel manufacturing plant in Perrysburg Township is
nearing completion just in time for a massive planned increase in solar energy
use across the United States and Canada.

Utility-scale solar fields, mostly in the West and South, will consume the
output of the First Solar Inc. plant through 2015 and probably will cause the
company to import panels from its factories in Europe and Asia, an official
said.

"We definitely have created demand in the United States far beyond what that
single plant can supply and will need to supplement that with product from other
plants," said Alan Bernheimer, a company spokesman.

Executives launched an initiative two years ago to boost U.S. sales to
correspond with the company's growing manufacturing capacity and offset any
cooling of a solar energy-building boom in Europe that consumed millions of
Perrysburg Township-made panels. Those efforts are now bearing fruit.

RELATED CONTENT
READ: Toledo start-up undeterred by prospect of supply glut
Massive solar fields built by First Solar have been completed or are nearing
completion outside Las Vegas, in southern California, and in Ontario along Lake
Huron.

Five other big First Solar projects that probably will use panels from the
suburban Toledo plant are under way or have been announced. They include one
that would become the largest solar array in the nation, covering nearly seven
square miles and producing enough electricity for 160,000 homes.

All of the projects are multiple-acre solar fields that will be connected to the
nation's electric grid.

An evolution
If the company moves forward on already-announced projects, the work would
consume more than 18 million of the 2-foot-by-4-foot panels that First Solar
produces.

"That's great news," said Steve Weathers, president of Toledo's Regional Growth
Partnership. "What we like to see with any company is growth in their customer
base."

He said the local plant's growth demonstrates an evolution in the local economy
as northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan shift to other industries and away from
heavy reliance on jobs in auto manufacturing.

First Solar, which began in Toledo but is based in Tempe, Ariz., spent $100
million to nearly double the size of its single North American manufacturing
facility, which is in Perrysburg Township.

A fourth production line that will boost capacity to 2.8 million panels a year
from the current 2 million is to begin making products by March 31, officials
said. The plant will be able to annually manufacture panels capable of making
212 megawatts (or 212 million watts) of electricity.

The expansion project, which is to be finished by early next year, also includes
a research center and added office space. It is expected to boost employment to
about 840 from 700.

The plant became First Solar's first factory in 2000. The company grew out of
collaboration between Toledo glass pioneer Harold McMaster and Wal-Mart
retailing heir John Walton.

Since perfecting its product at the Perrysburg Township factory, First Solar has
grown into a $2 billion-a-year manufacturer of a new, cheaper-to-produce panel
made with thin-film technology. The firm has expanded to Europe and Asia, with
manufacturing complexes in Frankfurt/Oder, Germany, and Kulim, Malaysia.

Possible problems
Large government subsidies have made Europe the destination for most panels
produced by the company, including those from Perrysburg Township.

But Spain and Germany, the top two users of solar power, have scaled back on
incentives in the past two years, according to the Solar Energy Industries
Association.

Coupled with increasing manufacturing capacity in the United States and around
the world, the industry faces the prospect of unsold inventory and lower prices,
experts warn.

In this environment, another metro Toledo start-up, Willard & Kelsey Solar Group
LLC, Perrysburg, has had difficulty obtaining financing to begin large-scale
production of solar panels.

A third Toledo start-up, Xunlight Corp., is hunting for customers for its
sheetlike solar panels.

Stock of First Solar took a hit last month after executives announced
third-quarter sales were $481 million, about 9 percent less than the $530
million expected by Wall Street.

Even with quarterly profit of $153 million, First Solar shares lost 17 percent —
or $25 each — to close at $126.67 in New York Stock Exchange Trading on the day
after the earnings announcement. The stock fell to $121.18 at the close of
trading Friday.

Still, the firm remains one of the most respected manufacturers of solar panels
in the world. It is negotiating with the Chinese government to build a massive
solar field there.

And the company last month was added to the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, a
widely watched stock-market barometer that consists of leading U.S. companies.

First Solar executives say their efforts to promote domestic demand have met
with success.

The firm, which branched out from panel production into solar plant development
and management, has announced projects with a capacity to produce 1.3 gigawatts
(1.3 billion watts) of electricity.

They represent about one tenth of the 14.3 gigawatts now in development
nationwide, said Monique Hanis, spokesman for the Solar Energy Industries
Association.

"This is the most we've had in the pipeline in the United States," she added.

The solar rush
The rush to boost solar, propelled in part by laws in many states requiring
utilities to produce a portion of power from renewable sources, helped catapult
the United States past Japan to third in development of new solar plants last
year, the organization reported.

Still, in total capacity, the United States (1.6 gigawatts) ranks fourth behind
No. 1 Germany (5.3 gigawatts), Spain (3 gigawatts), and Japan (2.2 gigawatts).

If all planned projects come to fruition, U.S. use of solar power would grow
steeply, but projects face potential roadblocks, the industry spokesman
cautioned.

Financing for solar plants became more difficult after the credit and banking
crisis that swept across the nation late last year. And it is unclear if all
planned projects will attract lenders and investors, Ms. Hanis added.

First Solar officials say, however, that they have not had trouble finding
investors and buyers for their projects.

One example is the El Dorado Solar plant outside Las Vegas in Boulder City,
Nev., a city established in 1932 to provide housing for workers building the
Hoover Dam.

The Perrysburg plant provided 167,000 panels to the plant, which was completed
late last year.

With a capacity to produce 10 megawatts of power, the plant is owned by Sempra
Generation of San Diego and has a long-term contract to supply power to Pacific
Gas & Electric, which serves customers in northern and central California. It is
the nation's third-largest facility powered by solar panels behind plants in
Arcadia, Fla., and in Clark County, Nevada, according to the Solar Energy
Industries Association.

"It's been performing quite well," said Art Larson, a Sempra spokesman. "We're
in an area where the sun shines almost every day." The facility employs one
person.

Pacific Gas & Electric has agreed to buy an additional 48 megawatts of power,
and Sempra is awaiting approval from the state Public Utilities Commission to
begin a plant expansion, Mr. Larson said.

First Solar announced last month that it has sold to Enbridge Inc. of Toronto a
solar field nearing completion near Sarnia, Ont. The facility will produce 20
megawatts of power, which is enough to provide electricity to 3,200 homes.

The Ontario Power Authority has signed a contract to purchase electricity from
the solar installation for 20 years.

Enbridge and First Solar wouldn't discuss the sale price of the Sarnia plant
which, when completed, will be Canada's largest solar field.

Wyandot County
The Midwest's largest solar installation is being built with 160,000 First Solar
panels on a longtime soybean field near Wyandot County's Upper Sandusky, which
is 75 miles south of Toledo. The 10-megawatt system will be owned by PSEG Solar
Source of Newark, N.J., and is to supply electricity to customers of American
Electric Power Ohio, Columbus.

Frames that will hold solar panels for the ground-mounted system are rising on
an 83-acre, county-owned site at County Road 44 and State Rt. 199.

It is to begin producing electricity next year.

"From the county's perspective, we are excited," said Eric Romich, economic
development director. "It puts Wyandot County in the spotlight. … We're hoping
we can springboard this project to foster other development."

More developments
Another First Solar project, to be completed by the end of 2009, is in Blythe,
Calif., 225 miles east of Los Angeles. The plant will produce 7.5 megawatts for
customers of Southern California Edison.

First Solar will supply 500,000 panels to a solar field to be built in Colfax
County in northern New Mexico near the village of Cimarron on a hunting preserve
and guest ranch owned by media mogul Ted Turner.

The solar farm, where construction is to begin in April and is to be finished
later in 2010, will produce enough electricity to supply 9,000 homes. Tri-State
Generation & Transmission Association Inc., a rural electric cooperative in
Westminster, Colo., that serves the western United States, has committed to
purchasing the power for 25 years.

The 250-acre plant will be on Mr. Turner's storied Vermejo Park Ranch, where
hunters pay $12,000 each for the chance to hunt elk and other game.

Before the CNN founder bought the 920-square-mile property in 1996, it had been
a retreat for Hollywood celebrities in the Roaring '20s and, later, a
corporate-owned cattle ranch.

Other projects, which have yet to receive environmental and other permits, are a
550-megawatt field planned for San Luis Obispo County, California, and twin
projects of 250 megawatts and 200 megawatts each in Riverside and San
Bernardino, Calif., First Solar officials said.

To aid its effort to boost development of solar fields in the United States,
First Solar has made a number of strategic acquisitions. In 2007, it paid Mr.
Turner $34 million for New Jersey-based DT Solar, which boosted the firm's
engineering, procurement, and construction capabilities.

Then last April, it traded $400 million in First Solar stock for the massive
project portfolio of California-based Opti-Solar, which brought to the company
most of the projects now in development.

The deal included a 50-person sales and project-development team in Oakland.

And in yet another transaction, First Solar last year signed a supply agreement
with California-based Solar City, a large installer of home solar systems, as
part of which Solar City will install up to 1.4 million First Solar panels on
residential rooftops over the next five years.

Solar energy industry brings a ray of hope to the Rust Belt



Areas hard-hit by the U.S. automakers' slump are pitching themselves to green
technology firms. Workers and machines that used to crank out cars are now
making parts for solar and wind power plants.

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-rustbelt-greenbelt23-2009nov23,0,3232106.s\
tory

By Todd Woody


At a recent solar energy conference in Anaheim, economic development officials
from Ohio talked up a state that seemed far removed from the solar panels and
high-tech devices that dominated the convention floor.

Ohio, long known for its smokestack auto plants and metal-bending factories,
would be an ideal place for green technology companies to set up shop, they
said.

"People don't traditionally think of Ohio when they think of solar," said Lisa
Patt-McDaniel, director of Ohio's economic development agency. But in fact, the
Rust Belt goes well with the Green Belt, she said.

In years past, Sunbelt governors recruited Midwestern businesses to set up shop
in their states, dangling tax breaks and the lure of a union-free workforce.

Now the tables have turned as solar start-ups, wind turbine companies and
electric carmakers from California and the Southwest migrate to the nation's
industrial heartland. They're looking to tap its manufacturing might and legions
of skilled workers, hit hard by the near-collapse of the United States auto
industry and eager for work.

For all of green tech's futuristic sheen, solar power plants and wind farms are
made of much of the same stuff as automobiles: machine-stamped steel, glass and
gearboxes.

That has renewable energy companies hitting the highway for Detroit and
Northeastern industrial states, driven in part by the federal stimulus package's
incentives and buy-American mandates.

Irvine's Fisker Automotive, for instance, will manufacture its next plug-in
electric hybrid car at a defunct General Motors assembly plant in Wilmington,
Del.

And Stirling Energy Systems, which is building two massive solar power plants in
Southern California, has signed deals with two automotive companies to make
components for its giant solar dishes.

Stirling's 40-by-38-foot SunCatcher resembles a mirrored satellite dish. The
SunCatcher's mirrors focus the sun on a Stirling engine that sits on an arm that
extends from the center of the dish. The heat causes hydrogen gas in the engine
to expand, which drives pistons that generate electricity.

"The back of the mirror facet is a piece of stamped metal, and if you raise the
hood of your car, what you see is a stamped metal frame," said Ian Simington,
chief executive of the solar division of NTR, the Irish company that owns
Stirling Energy Systems, based in Scottsdale, Ariz. "Nobody stamps metal better
than automotive manufacturers. So in a sense the choice to go to high-volume
suppliers in the greater Detroit area was an easy one for us."

Stirling signed an agreement with Tower Automotive to manufacture the dishes'
structural components and assemble the mirror facets. The Livonia, Mich.,
company makes vehicle body parts and other components for the major carmakers
but has seen auto orders slow with the downturn.

Jim Bernard, Tower's vice president of North American sales and program
management, said the company had been looking to diversify its operations.

"The market that we thought would fit us was alternative energy," he said.
"Utility-scale alternative energy projects have some of the exact same
requirements that our automotive customers do."

That means Tower can use its existing machinery, with some modifications, and
workforce to make SunCatcher components. In turn, Stirling avoids the capital
costs of setting up its own factories and gets to tap Tower's manufacturing
know-how to bring down its costs, which will be a key competitive advantage in
the race to deploy new solar technologies.

"They have the practices beaten into them since Henry Ford, but more because of
Japanese competition, to be able to do several things simultaneously -- improve
the features of the product, take cost out and improve quality," Simington said.

He said his company has spent $30 million to $40 million in the Detroit area
over the last year and hired 40 to 50 people from the automotive industry.
Stirling has also outsourced the manufacturing of specialized tools to companies
in Ohio, Illinois and Indiana.

About 25,000 SunCatchers will roll off the assembly line annually once
production ramps up.

It's still something of a buyer's market these days, said Jeff Collins,
Stirling's vice president of global supply chain and an auto industry veteran.

"I hate to say this, particularly as a guy who still owns a house in Detroit,
but the downturn in the automotive market corresponded exactly with our
requirements," he said. "We're not adding our own factories to scale up; we're
just adding a second shift on the assembly line."

That available manufacturing muscle attracted Skyline Solar, a Silicon Valley
solar power plant builder. In October, the start-up announced a deal with a
Troy, Mich., subsidiary of automotive giant Magna International to make the long
metal arrays that hold its photovoltaic panels.

"Renewable energy trends and forecast data suggest significant growth potential
for this market. We expect to participate in this growth potential," Magna
spokeswoman Tracy Fuerst said in an e-mail.

Back at Ohio's booth at the solar conference, Patt-McDaniel said Michigan was
her biggest competitor for solar manufacturing projects.

Her state secured one of the biggest solar companies, First Solar of Tempe,
Ariz., to produce photovoltaic modules in Ohio. Patt-McDaniel said wind turbines
are already made in Ohio, and Rolls-Royce recently announced it would
consolidate its fuel cell operations in the Buckeye State.

"We're open to anything and everything," she said.

Smart Grid Riding On The Information Superhighway

http://www.reuters.com/article/mnGreenTechnology/idUS153132048820091120


If Internet companies and some utilities have their way, the smart grid will
rely on the existing infrastructure of the information superhighway in order to
function. They argue that by relying on existing standards like Internet
Protocol (IP), the smart grid will grow faster and more organically than if
utilities adopt an assortment of proprietary methods. Issues like security
become easier to address too because the Internet manages exceptionally
sensitive data quite well with existing technologies. To that end, the players
dominating in the Internet arena including Google, Microsoft, and Cisco are all
banking on the Internet's role in the future of electricity management.

Connecting the smart grid and the Internet is a thoughtful union of two
sophisticated systems. As a result, issues like net neutrality that were
previously limited to high-tech circles are now relevant in the energy arena.
While these new issues add complexity to the creation of the smart grid, the
benefits of this union far outweigh the costs.

The integration of the Internet and electricity management will help progress
the development of renewable energy immensely. Software products that rely on
the Internet can play a significant role in managing the problems associated
with renewable energy on the grid including intermittency, distributed
generation, and demand-response. In order to roll out these major software
advances, it is important to consider what already exists. The Internet provides
a stable, fast, and secure medium to transport vital energy data.

One might think a major source of opposition is from those operating the
existing electricity grid. On the contrary, utilities like PG&E have pushed for
existing standards to drive the development of the smart grid because they need
help to reach the ambitious goals for renewable energy in California. At the
Berkeley-Standford CleanTech Conference Series last week, PG&E's Andrew Tang
opined the backbone of the smart grid would operate in a similar way to the
Internet.

This idea is not without its problems, however. Electricity management is
outside the comfort zone of Internet companies. From 120-degree heat in Arizona
to below freezing temperatures in Ohio, Cisco will need to design hardware that
operates in uncontrolled weather conditions. The outrage due to outages with
Gmail will be nothing compared to the response due to blackouts caused by the
company's software.

The Internet culture in Silicon Valley does not lend itself well to the boring
(and reliable) products required by the utilities, but cultural shifts are not
unheard of in Silicon Valley. Google has more than 10,000 employees and there
can be little doubt that the company undertook changes in operations and even
culture during their massive growth period.

Internet companies are poised to tackle this problem. Google aims to organize
the world's information; it is clear that organizing principles will be
necessary for the smart grid. The transition of electricity from traditional to
renewable sources is a transition that lines up well with Cisco's strategy. What
the Internet does above all is allow small players to shake up the market.
Companies like OPOWER [view some of their current clean tech job openings on the
CleanTechies Job Board] are looking to become a big player on the smart grid by
using software that incorporates behavioral science. Ultimately, software that
relies on the Internet is the critical component required to add renewable
energy to the grid.

Mike Holmes: Smart Money is on the Smart Meter

http://www.nationalpost.com/homes/story.html?id=2242808

Is your house smarter than you? In some ways, it probably already is, and
building technology is always developing to improve on that intelligence. Your
house is a system, and all the parts work together. In fact, many or most of its
parts already work without you even knowing how they do it.

Take your HVAC system (that's heating, ventilation and air conditioning):
There's a thermostat that reads the temperature in the room and sends a message
to the furnace or the AC unit to heat or cool the house, depending on your
requirements. Programmable thermostats can be set to come on so the house is
warm when you arrive home from work.

You put lights on timers when you go on vacation, you might have a coffee maker
that has a fresh pot ready when your alarm goes off in morning.

You might even have in-floor electrical heat on a timer so your bathroom floor
is warm when you step on the tile on a cold winter morning, or an exhaust fan on
a timer to make sure your bathroom is properly ventilated. You can control
in-home entertainment, play music, close blinds and dim lights with a single
hand-held device.

What if your house were so smart that you could set all that up - and more -
remotely, through an Internet connection or with your cellphone?

A smart house allows you to control your home's heating, ventilation and air
conditioning remotely. It allows you to turn lights on and off, or dim them, and
thus manage your energy use, saving money and reducing energy consumption.

Now, your house can have a smart meter that shows you the price of the
electricity you are using at any given time, so you can make informed choices
about your energy use.

Energy costs more during peak times, but consumers aren't aware of how much they
use during the expensive times, as their usage is typically calculated on a
monthly basis. A smart meter shows actual current useage - real time information
- about the price of electricity so you can "talk to" and program your house
based on what you know.

A smart meter will tell you how much energy you are using, in what rooms and on
which appliances you are using it, how much it's costing you, and how much you
could save if you made different choices.

It's long overdue that we have a meter to help consumers manage energy
consumption. But for a house to be really smart, we need to do more. We need to
make more intelligent choices about where we are getting energy from in the
first place. A smart meter is (so far) all about tracking consumption from the
grid.

We need to get off our reliance on big utility suppliers and produce energy on a
smaller, micro level. That way, we can feed energy back into the grid - either
into individual homes or to smart communities. In the communities I'm
developing, all the houses and businesses will use an Internet protocol (IP)
network to program the home.

The technology is available - it has become more and more affordable, with a
shorter payback time. There is geothermal, wind and solar power with battery
backup. There are even electric cars. Get off the grid as much as possible -
that's an intelligent choice.

And what if we step it up even more than that? What if you have already made the
choice to incorporate solar or wind technology? What if your house were smart
enough to know when electricity was costing you more, and could choose instead
to use backup power stored in batteries. What if it could take advantage of the
higher peak prices of power to sell it back to the grid - in effect, make you
some money?

Now, that's a smart house.

G'Day All,

FYI

Chuck

You certainly don't have to apologize for disagreeing as you have every right to
your opinion but I would suggest you get some more facts as you are misinformed.

No one utility "owns" the grid, however it used to be an old boys club and
anyone who wanted to contribute any excess generation was made to jump through
regulatory hoops just to be able to get a miserable wholesale rate for their
power..if they were lucky.

Smart meters are an important part of the developing smart grid and with
equitable feed in tariffs being introduced, renewable generators (large and
small) contributing to the grid are being paid decent rates for their excess,
many times with guaranteed 20 year contracts.
Some contracts have been very generous, allowing 10 to 30 cents more than the
RETAIL price per kilowatt.
Utilities will no longer be allowed to refuse anyone that wants to connect
certified approved equipment to generate their own power and be netmetered as
long as it is installed by qualified persons.
Smart grid apps will move vast amounts of renewables around as they are needed
and facilitate/syncronize the millions of plugin and EV's that will be on
streets within a few years. Charging stations need 2 way communications with the
vehicle and grid to allow proper charging,
billing and crediting consumers. None of this is possible without a smarter
grid. The millions of decentralized alternative sources
that are being added over the next decades and a smart grid will virtually
eliminate blackouts, decrease vulnerabilities from possible terrorist attacks,
allow anyone to become a power producer and get fair compensation for their
investment, help prevent thousands of tons of emissions and dangerous
particulates and make it simple and profitable for anyone to add alternative
energy to their home. It also brings second by second energy efficiencies to
millions, allow anyone to control their energy systems remotely and/or make
smarter decisions about their energy usage and increased opportunities and
options for adding renewables.

Again, any smart grid development aside, utility rates will continue to rise
regardless and relying on an overburdened ancient grid system is a recipe for
future blackouts and system failures not to mention making it very difficult for
alternative energies to go mainstream.
The present aging grid infrastructure badly needs upgrading anyway, again
regardless of any future smart grid developments and upgrades of any kind will
cost millions anyway so let's do it right this time around and bring grid
technologies into the 21 century and smart grid apps that will benefit all.. not
just the utilities.
The smart grid levels the playing field for independent producers large and
small and opens the grid up to everyone.

I am certainly no fan of utilities, in fact I kind of hate them
and have had a long running dislike for those blood suckers for many years.
Smart grid apps will allow anyone to take control of their energy decisions and
if they want, within several years make it much easier for them to finally say
good riddance to the utility co with their own alternative energy system that
fair feed in tariff compensation through smart grid helped pay for.
Smart grid will allow for an orderly and gradual deregulation of the grid as
what happened with the telcos decades ago. It opens up huge opportunities for
third party competition and lower energy pricing over all as the amount of
renewables increases and PV and associated equipment become everyday items.

Im sorry to disagree with you, but it is the utilities that own the grid and
as such any implementation of smart grid technology will be applied to their
own advantage, and rightly so as a private for profit corporation. These
companies existence is driven by profit, not benevolence as their primary
responsibility.



Even if what you say is correct, and the smart grid system was conceived
from a desire to more easily augment traditional generation of electricity
with renewable sources, any excesses from a grid-tied solar or wind powered
system is purchased by the utilities at hugely discounted rates; quite a
windfall for the power companies. I fail to see how such unjust enrichment
can be a benefit to all.

Well said!

There are parts of the smart grid that will help by allowing more alternative
energy to be used an then electric cars will be more possible.

But the real push for smart grid is coming from the companies that are making
the equipment to monitor homes and be put in smart appliances and the utility
companies WILL raise rates to pay for the upgrade.

They get low interest fed loans and grants to install the equipment gratis the
tax payer then pay back the loans by raising the rates- what a win win for them
and a theft of taxpayer money.

I would do some more research on smart grid aps and you will find it not only
benefits utilities but everyone else as well. The smart grid is necessary to
help enable vast amounts of renewables to be connected to the grid. Huge wind
resources in the west and large solar farms in the desert are far away from
population centers.
  The smart grid will allow transferring power where it is needed.
You'll be able to drive your plugin car to work and either recharge or
contribute back to grid for a credit. Call home from your office computer or
cell phone and turn on the microwave, a/c and have complete control over your
appliance/electrical usage remotely if you want. It will also allow everyone to
become a power producer and easily sell back excess alt energy generation for
credit...plug+play alternative energy equipment and so much more. For far too
long the utilities had a "closed shop" and the smart grid will help level the
playing field for renewables and democratize the grid for everyone.

Yes utilities will make cash on time of day pricing and energy hogs will pay
more as they should. So what...there are so many other advantages of the smart
grid for energy security/independence, climate change mitigation and greatly
accelerating the trend to mainstreaming renewables. A smart grid is absolutely
essential.

Utlities WON't have the capability to remotely control some of your appliances
WITHOUT your permission and also giving you a favorable rate for allowing them
to maybe power down your a/c for an hour or so.

Utility rates are going to continue to rise regardless of any smart grid
development and anyone who thinks otherwise is...well...and relying on an aging
19 century grid, centralized coal or nuke plants is unsustainable. The future is
millions of distributed cleaner energy sources and a smart grid. Smart companies
rarely jump on losing "bandwagons" and with the emerging multi trillion dollar
green economy, there is plenty of money to be made by many... not just huge
utilities.
You shouldn't lose too much sleep over it after you realize the smart grid is
not the boogie man detractors try to make it out to be and is one of the most
significant developments to accelerate the switch to adding significantly more
alternative energy sources to our energy mix.

Everybody is jumping on the smart grid bandwagon but what we fail to realize
is this costly implementation will only benefit the utilities, allowing them
to charge residential consumers based on commercial rates according to peek
demand hours, thereby not only recoup the installation costs, but also to
rake in a tidy sum for energy, at increased commercial rates for residential
services. In addition it will enable utilities to portion service in the
future at its discretion.



Smart grid might make cent$ for utilitie$, but from a perspective of the
residential customer, you have to look past the marketing hype.

Smart homes just make cents

http://www.kelowna.com/2009/11/17/smart-homes-just-make-cents/

Is your house smarter than you? In some ways, it probably already is, and
building technology is developing all the time to improve on that intelligence.
Your house is a system, and all the parts work together. In fact, many or most
of its parts already work without your even knowing how they do it.

Like your HVAC system, there's a thermostat that reads the temperature in the
room and sends a message to the furnace or the AC unit to heat or cool the
house, depending on your requirements. Programmable thermostats can be set to
come on so your home is warm when you arrive home from work.

You put lights on timers when you go on vacation, you might have a coffee maker
that has a fresh pot ready when your alarm goes off in morning.

You might even have in-floor electrical heat on a timer so your bathroom floor
is always warm when you step on the tile on a cold winter morning, or a bathroom
exhaust fan on a timer to make sure your bathroom is properly ventilated. You
can control in-home entertainment, play music, close blinds and dim lights with
a single hand-held device.

What if your house was so smart that you could set all that up – and more –
remotely, through an Internet connection or with your cellphone?

A smart house allows you to control your home's heating, ventilation and air
conditioning remotely. It allows you to turn lights on and off, or dim them, and
manage your energy use, saving money and reducing energy consumption.

What if your house had a smart meter that showed you the actual time of day
price of the electricity you were currently using, so you can make an informed
choice about your energy use.

Energy costs more during peak times, but consumers aren't aware of how much they
use during the expensive times since their usage is typically calculated on a
monthly basis. A smart meter shows actual current usage – real time information
– about the price of electricity so you can "talk to" and program your house
based on what you know.

A smart meter will tell you how much energy you are using, in what rooms and on
what appliances you are using it, how much it's costing you, and how much you
could save if you made different choices.

It's long overdue that we have a meter that helps consumers manage their energy
consumption. But for a house to be really smart, I think we need to do more. We
need to make more intelligent choices about where we are getting that energy in
the first place. A smart meter is (so far) all about tracking energy consumption
off the grid.

We need to get off our reliance on big utility suppliers and produce energy on a
smaller, micro-level. That way, we can feed energy back into the grid – either
into individual homes or in smart communities. In the communities I'm
developing, all the houses and businesses will use an Internet protocol (IP)
network to program the home.

The technology is available – it has become more and more affordable, with a
shorter payback time. There is geothermal, wind and solar power with battery
back up. There are even electric cars. Get off the grid as much as possible –
that's an intelligent choice.

And what if we step it up even more than that? What if you have already made the
choice to incorporate solar or wind technology to help offset what you use from
the grid. What if your house was smart enough to know when electricity was
costing you more, and could choose instead to use backup power stored in
batteries. What if it could take advantage of the higher peak prices of power to
sell it back to the grid – in effect making you money?

Now that's a smart house.

The Staggering Cost of New Nuclear Power
Part One in a Series on a New Nuclear Cost Study

http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2009/01/nuclear_power.html

Part Two: Warning to Taxpayers, Investors: Nukes May Become Troubled Assets

A new study puts the generation costs for power from new nuclear plants at 25 to
30 cents per kilowatt-hour—triple current U.S. electricity rates!

This staggering price is far higher than the cost of a variety of carbon-free
renewable power sources available today—and 10 times the cost of energy
efficiency (see "Is 450 ppm possible? Part 5: Old coal's out, can't wait for new
nukes, so what do we do NOW?"

The new study, "Business Risks and Costs of New Nuclear Power," is one of the
most detailed cost analyses publically available on the current generation of
nuclear power plants being considered in this country. It is by a leading expert
in power plant costs, Craig A. Severance. A practicing CPA, Severance is
co-author of The Economics of Nuclear and Coal Power (Praeger 1976), and former
assistant to the chairman and to commerce counsel, Iowa State Commerce
Commission.

This important new analysis is being published by Climate Progress because it
fills a critical gap in the current debate over nuclear power—transparency.
Severance explains:

All assumptions, and methods of calculation are clearly stated. The piece is a
deliberate effort to demystify the entire process, so that anyone reading it
(including non-technical readers) can develop a clear understanding of how total
generation costs per kWh come together.

As stunning as this new, detailed cost estimate is, it should not come as a
total surprise. I detailed the escalating capital costs of nuclear power in my
May 2008 report, "The Self-Limiting Future of Nuclear Power." And in a story
last week on nuclear power's supposed comeback, Time magazine notes that nuclear
plants' capital costs are "out of control," concluding:

Most efficiency improvements have been priced at 1¢ to 3¢ per kilowatt-hour,
while new nuclear energy is on track to cost 15¢ to 20¢ per kilowatt-hour. And
no nuclear plant has ever been completed on budget.

Time buried that in the penultimate paragraph of the story!

Yet even Time's rough estimate is too low, as "Business Risks and Costs of New
Nuclear Power" quantifies in detail. Here is the executive summary:

It has been an entire generation since nuclear power was seriously considered as
an energy option in the U.S. It seems to have been forgotten that the reason
U.S. utilities stopped ordering nuclear power plants was their conclusion that
nuclear power's business risks and costs proved excessive.

With global warming concerns now taking traditional coal plants off the table,
U.S. utilities are risk averse to rely solely on natural gas for new generation.
Many U.S. utilities are diversifying through a combination of aggressive load
reduction incentives to customers, better grid management, and a mixture of
renewable energy sources supplying zero-fuel-cost kWh's, backed by the KW
capacity of natural gas turbines where needed. Some U.S. utilities, primarily in
the South, often have less aggressive load reduction programs, and view their
region as deficient in renewable energy resources. These utilities are now
exploring new nuclear power.

Estimates for new nuclear power place these facilities among the costliest
private projects ever undertaken. Utilities promoting new nuclear power assert
it is their least costly option. However, independent studies have concluded new
nuclear power is not economically competitive.

Given this discrepancy, nuclear's history of cost overruns, and the fact new
generation designs have never been constructed any where, there is a major
business risk nuclear power will be more costly than projected. Recent
construction cost estimates imply capital costs/kWh (not counting operation or
fuel costs) from 17-22 cents/kWh when the nuclear facilities come on-line.
Another major business risk is nuclear's history of construction delays. Delays
would run costs higher, risking funding shortfalls. The strain on cash flow is
expected to degrade credit ratings.

Generation costs/kWh for new nuclear (including fuel & O&M but not distribution
to customers) are likely to be from 25 - 30 cents/kWh. This high cost may
destroy the very demand the plant was built to serve. High electric rates may
seriously impact utility customers and make nuclear utilities' service areas
noncompetitive with other regions of the U.S. which are developing lower-cost
electricity.

I am not saying here that nuclear power will play no role in the fight to stay
below 450 ppm of atmospheric CO2 concentrations and avoid catastrophic climate
outcomes. Indeed, I have been including a full wedge of nuclear in my 12 to 14
wedges "solution" to global warming here. It may, however, be time to reconsider
that, since it is increasingly clear achieving even one wedge of nuclear will be
a very time-consuming and expensive proposition, probably costing $6 trillion to
$8 trillion and sharply driving up electricity prices.

Given the myriad low-carbon, much lower-cost alternatives to nuclear power
available today—such as efficiency, wind, solar thermal baseload, solar PV,
geothermal, and recycled energy (see "An introduction to the core climate
solutions")—the burden is on the nuclear industry to provide its own detailed,
public cost estimates that it is prepared to stand behind in public utility
commission hearings.

What is unique about this new analysis is its transparency: "all assumptions,
and methods of calculation are clearly stated." As Severance explains:

In contrast to this transparency, many nuclear promoters have adopted a "Black
Box" approach. It has unfortunately been the case over the last couple of years
that some utilities have begun to claim that even rudimentary basics of their
nuclear cost estimates must be hidden from the public as "trade secrets." For
instance, in the South Carolina Electric & Gas proposal to build two reactors
now under consideration by the South Carolina PSC, there is literally a large
"box" obscuring the bulk of the calculations in the SC E&G Exhibit which
presents the utility's projection of construction and financing costs for the
proposed two-unit facility. In a different case, Duke Energy claimed that it
does not even have to disclose its new cost estimates for a proposed nuclear
facility in Cherokee County, S.C.. In the Duke case, C. Dukes Scott, South
Carolina's consumer advocate, who represents the public in utility rate cases,
noted, "If the cost wasn't confidential in February," Scott said, "how is it
confidential in April?"

Even when no effort to conceal information is apparent, the very terminology
used when projections are presented can be confusing or misleading. For
instance, in 2007 when a number of new nuclear proposals began to advance, it
was common for "Overnight Cost" estimates to be quoted. For a project (such as
solar or wind) whose construction period may be as short as several months, the
difference between an "overnight" cost and the full cost to complete the project
may not be significant. However, for a nuclear project that may typically take a
decade to complete, cost escalations that occur during this long construction
period, plus the financing costs during construction, may easily double the
total cost of a project compared to its "overnight" cost. When the full picture
is presented, some may perceive the total cost estimate has mysteriously
doubled. However, it simply should have been stated clearly to begin with that
major escalation and financing costs cannot be avoided when it takes a long time
to complete a project. Failure to do so is tantamount to selling someone a house
with "teaser" initial mortgage payments and failing to make clear that the
mortgage payments will later reset to a much higher level.

Another mysterious "black box" presentation method is to fold the overall costs
of the new facility into the general rate base of the utility, without ever
mentioning what the generation costs per kWh of the nuclear unit will be.
Instead, it is often only presented how total costs per kWh for all ratepayers
will increase—which includes kWh's generated by existing generation units. (For
instance, if a nuclear unit is to supply 20% of the kWh's for the utility when
it comes on line, any cost increase per kWh appears to only be 1/5 as large
because the additional costs are also spread over the 80% of kWh's generated by
other facilities, even though those other facilities did not cause the rate
increase.) While it is important to know the impact on final overall retail
electric rates, it is also important to know the generation costs per kWh from
the nuclear facility. If this step is "skipped" in public presentations, the
nuclear units (or any new generation power source that is more expensive than
existing units) can appear far cheaper than their real impact.

The Paper takes the approach that it is best to lay out in detail "how you got
that number" at each step of the way. All parties can then proceed to have
discussions based upon real numbers rather than mysterious "Black Box" secrets.

So feel free to criticize the analysis, but anyone offering different all-in
cost estimates for power from new nuclear plants should detail their own
assumptions and calculation. And simply pointing to the operating costs of
existing paid-off nuclear plants doesn't count as detailed analysis—my home
would be very cheap to live in if I didn't have a mortgage.

Also, it's fine to call for aggressively developing fourth generation nuclear
plants (as James Hansen does)—I'm all for such R&D—but that won't help us meet
2020 climate targets, and probably won't help us significantly meet 2030
targets. In any case, it is impossible to accurately project the real world
all-in costs of noncommercial technologies that are still largely sitting on the
drawing board.

Video: Duke Energy CTO calls for open smart grids

http://www.eetimes.com/news/latest/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=221800455

Dept. of Energy readies $800M in new smart grid grants

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Electric utilities need to cut a path to open smart grid
networks and China's burgeoning energy sector could lead the charge, said an
executive from a large electric utility. The call comes as the U.S. Department
of Energy is gearing up to release details on a second round of grants for smart
electric grids.

"There has to be a way to get beyond today's silos of proprietary [smart grid]
products that don't talk to each other and require their own network operating
systems," said David Mohler, chief technology officer of Duke Energy which
supplies power to about four million U.S. households.

Somebody needs to crack the code on how you can profitably create a product
suite that is interoperable in a big way," said Mohler, speaking at the
Alternative Energy Innovations conference here.

Both the IEEE and the National Institute of Standards and Technology have
launched smart grid standards efforts. Companies including Cisco Systems have
lobbied the efforts to adopt Internet Protocol based technologies.

But in a video interview Mohler said China's energy utilities may set de facto
standards for open mart grids due to the sheer size of their future
procurements. In the last year, Duke forged at least two technology sharing
agreements with utilities in China, mainly focused on solar systems.

G'Day All,

Another networking and educational meeting.

John spends the first part of the meeting briefing the attendees on news in
sustainable energy.  Then there is some time for open discussion.

Regards,
Chuck

Glimpsing a Greener Future: Computer Model Foresees Effects of Alternative
Transportation Fuels

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/11/091116143619.htm


It's the year 2060, and 75 percent of drivers in the Greater Los Angeles area
have hydrogen fuel cell vehicles that emit only water vapor.
Look into Shane Stephens-Romero's crystal ball -- a computer model called STREET
-- and find that air quality has significantly improved. Greenhouse gas
emissions are more than 60 percent lower than in 2009, and levels of microscopic
soot and ozone are about 15 percent and 10 percent lower, respectively.

"For the first time, we can look at these future fuel scenarios and say how
they're going to impact things like ozone and particulate matter, which have
severe effects on people's lungs and quality of life," said Stephens-Romero, a
UC Irvine doctoral candidate in the Advanced Power & Energy Program.

His 2060 analysis appeared online recently in Environmental Science &
Technology. It's the first peer-reviewed test of the computer model, which has
caught the attention of California policymakers and auto industry leaders trying
to integrate alternative fuels into the transportation system.

"We're transitioning to new technologies. How do we do this while maintaining
our lifestyle and keeping our economy robust?" Stephens-Romero said. "We don't
know how these changes could affect the future."

The Spatially & Temporally Resolved Energy & Environment Tool, he says, can
help.

STREET considers variables in extreme detail -- not just which fuel vehicles
will use but how the fuel is made, where it comes from, how it's transported and
along which routes, and where fueling stations might be located.

The computer model also can determine what changes must occur to achieve a
desired result. For example, to bring pollution below federal limits, what
percentage of the vehicle fleet would need to run on alternative fuel?

"California policymakers could use the tool in this way to improve air quality
in the region," Stephens-Romero said.

Scott Samuelsen, director of the Advanced Power & Energy Program, says
Stephens-Romero's work is getting high praise from leaders at Toyota, Honda,
General Motors, Shell, Air Products, the California Air Resources Board and the
California Energy Commission.

"The research is well positioned," Samuelsen said, "considering the development
of a hydrogen infrastructure is at the crossroads of global climate change, the
future of the automobile, the state economy, and California's leadership in
addressing the conflict between energy and the environment."

Samuelsen led the development of UCI's hydrogen fueling station, the most
technologically advanced, publicly accessible station in the world. It was the
first of its kind in Orange County and is a key component of the California
Hydrogen Highway Network.

In addition to Stephens-Romero and Samuelsen, UCI scientists Marc
Carreras-Sospedra, Jack Brouwer and Donald Dabdub worked on the 2060 study,
which was funded in part by the U.S. Department of Energy.

3 Questions for 3 Energy Storage Experts

http://earth2tech.com/2009/11/15/3-questions-for-3-energy-storage-experts/

Amid heated debates over clean power sources, how to build out the smart grid,
and the future of advanced transportation, one thing's clear: Energy storage
technology will play a key role in all of these transformations. Energy storage
— from batteries to ultracapacitors to pumped hydro to compressed air — will be
crucial for the development of electric vehicles, will make sporadic clean power
(solar and wind) more reliable, and enable the utilities to more smartly manage
power grid loads.

Energy storage provides the key to these innovations and will be the cornerstone
of the economy that will emerge around the next generation of energy. Here are
three questions for three experts — Rick Luebbe, CEO, EnerG2; Jill Watz, senior
adviser, Vulcan Capital; and Ahmad Pesaran, principal engineer, National
Renewable Energy Laboratory — that have spent years digging into the
technologies, the chemistries, the economics, and the future hurdles for the
deployment of energy storage. The following are edited excerpts of their
answers:

Rick Luebbe, CEO, EnerG2

Why is energy storage so essential to the new energy economy?

Energy storage is essential because the efficiency and sustainability of
the new energy economy is in absolute jeopardy without it. So many of the
generation and capture technologies that are emerging and evolving will depend
on storage to make them effective and, in some cases, viable. In addition,
energy efficiency is a key element of the energy gains that have become an
expected part of our collective future. Energy storage helps to synchronize
energy supply and demand, which is an essential first step in achieving
global-scale gains in energy efficiency.

What is the most important use or implementation of energy storage?

There is no innovation-oriented market with brighter prospects — or greater
sweep or scope — than energy storage. It's nearly impossible to pick a single
use of energy storage that rises above the others; rather, it's the universality
of the need for better energy storage that defines its role in our
economy. To date, the energy industry has labored under a model where
large-scale energy storage — when it's even possible — is difficult and
costly and usually implemented in the form of vessels of fossil fuel or
chemicals. That model is broken and is in the process of being fixed — to
everyone's benefit.

Which energy storage innovation do you most believe in?

So far, the bulk of the energy storage conversation has revolved around ongoing
advancements in battery technologies. Batteries are well-understood and
virtually ubiquitous. Nonetheless, ultracapacitors, a powerful alternative to
batteries, are being increasingly embraced by the automotive industry for hybrid
electric vehicles, by electronics and power-tool manufacturers for enhancing the
life and usability of consumer goods, and by a variety of industrial customers
to deliver applications and technologies that improve energy efficiency.
Any application that performs better or lasts longer using rapid charge and
discharge cycles will benefit from ultracapacitor-based energy storage
systems.

In one particularly interesting example, electric-rail operators in Europe are
adopting ultracapacitors to capture the kinetic braking energy created by trains
approaching a station. They're then using that captured energy to power
departure and initial acceleration of that or another train. The energy
efficiency gains of this relatively simply application have been enormous.
If we can find ways to meld batteries and ultracapacitors in new and
unprecedented combinations, I believe we'll double our chances for sustainable
success in a variety of key industries while, at the same time, boosting both
our energy and economic futures. (EnerG2 is focused on introducing advanced
nano-structured materials for next-generation energy storage breakthroughs.)

Energy Storage.
Jill Watz , senior adviser, Vulcan Capital

Why is energy storage so essential to the new energy economy?

The new energy economy requires a large-scale penetration of low-carbon
electricity and an electric transportation system that depends on a new electric
grid system that is flexible, dynamic, self-healing, highly reliable and
distributed. Energy storage is essential to achieving all of this functionality.
At the system level, large-scale storage enables greater penetration of
intermittent renewables like solar and wind, and it helps improve system
robustness. At the distribution level, storage enables improved power quality to
protect increasingly sensitive loads from voltage sags and transients, and
enables greater penetration of distributed energy to directly serve load without
costly transmission. Lower cost, as well as reliable and robust onboard storage,
is also critical to the expansion of electric vehicles, which will greatly
increase the efficiency of our transportation sector.

What is the most important use or implementation of energy storage?

Just as there is no single technology solution to solve the climate change
problem, energy storage technologies vary by type, scale, application and
location. Large-scale physical storage, like pumped hydro or compressed air
energy storage (CAES), are proven technologies with well-defined costs,
but they are geographically limited. Evaluating traditional large-scale hydro
for its potential for firming intermittent power in the Pacific
Northwest and other hydro regions is another important opportunity for bulk
energy storage, and it could reduce the average cost of power for large-scale
renewable penetration in those regions.

Storage plays an important role in improving the efficiency of electricity
markets by enabling a more active demand side as well as greater distributed
resources. For too long, investments have been skewed disproportionately to the
supply side, leaving the demand side relatively inactive and creating market
distortions. For example, distributed energy storage in electric vehicles can be
aggregated through smart controllers to provide ancillary services to the power
system and help reduce electricity costs. Similarly, energy storage devices,
coupled with consumer-distributed generation, will enable more local, clean
energy production and reduce expensive new transmission infrastructure
requirements.

Which energy storage innovation do you most believe in?

There are promising new technologies under development to meet storage
capabilities at all levels. Advances in materials science provide new and novel
processes and materials to improve energy density and specific energy
storage devices. I think there is great promise in the application of
nanostructures to create super ultracapacitors for large-scale energy storage in
vehicles, and to enhance the electrode capacity in more conventional battery
chemistries to reduce costs and improve cycle life.

Energy Storage.
Ahmad Pesaran, principal engineer, National Renewable Energy Laboratory

Why is energy storage so essential to the new energy economy?

The new energy economy must consist of renewable energy and energy
efficiency in all sectors of the energy consumption market, including
buildings, transportation and industry. Energy storage is a major and vital
component of the green technologies needed in this new economy. In the
transportation sector, hybridization and electrification of vehicles
increase energy efficiency and fuel economy, thus reducing oil
consumption. Hybridization of vehicles with electric energy storage allows
significant fuel efficiency increases by using regenerative braking,
permitting engine downsizing, engine load leveling, electrifying accessories,
and reducing fuel use during stops. Energy storage devices such as batteries and
ultracapacitors are the enabling components that make hybridization and
electrification possible.

Just as important, the electricity needed for the building, transportation, and
industrial sectors could be generated through renewable energy technologies such
as wind systems and solar photovoltaics (PV). But to generate significant
electricity from wind and PV, we must address one of their major drawbacks:
intermittency. The fact that these resources are not always available limits
their penetration into electricity markets. Previous studies have indicated that
traditional electric power systems are inherently limited in their ability to
accept very large amounts of PV or wind energy because of their intermittency.
Analyses by NREL and others have shown that energy storage provides the ultimate
solution by allowing excess PV or wind generation to be stored and delivered at
a later time. Integrating electric energy storage with PV and wind generation
has the potential to blur the line between intermittent and baseload generation
technologies.

What is the most important use or implementation of energy storage?

Energy storage must be used for the generation and use of green electricity
across all parts of the economy: gasoline and fuel-cell hybrid electric
vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, all-electric vehicles, PV and wind electric
power plants, conventional power plants, substations and buildings.

Electric energy storage must be implemented in solar PV and wind power plants so
that excess electricity can be stored for later use and allow greater market
penetration of renewable sources into the electricity grid. This type of energy
storage can be implemented in a centralized system consisting of megawatt-size
units or in many smaller energy storage systems distributed throughout the grid.
Energy storage devices can also be used in the building and industrial sectors
to store electric energy locally for immediate, same-day or later use. In
addition, energy storage systems could be deployed near neighborhood substations
or even in residential buildings, to store electricity for later use during peak
demand times to prevent brown-outs.

Which energy storage innovation do you most believe in?

There are several options for energy storage: batteries, ultracapacitors,
flywheels, compressed air, pumped hydro, flow batteries, and
superconducting magnetic energy storage or SMES. Each has advantages and
disadvantages for different applications in transportation and stationary/grid
applications. There are also many chemistry choices for batteries, such as lead
acid, sodium sulfur, and lithium. Initial capital cost and life dictate the
choice of energy storage for stationary applications, so $/Wh/cycle is an
important selection parameter. For transportation applications, in addition to
cost and life, vehicle manufacturers pay close attention to mass, volume, and
safety. Connecting the energy storage system in plug-in and electric vehicles to
the electricity grid using bidirectional lines will enable their use as
distributed energy storage systems for ancillary services, commonly referred to
as the vehicle-to-grid or V2G concept.

For vehicle applications, I believe only lithium batteries will be competitive
in the new energy economy because of the tremendous advantages they possess for
full hybrid as well as plug-in and electric vehicles. Ultracapacitors can play a
significant role in mild and start-stop hybrid markets; there could even
be considerable potential for using ultracapacitors in conjunction with
batteries for plug-in and electric vehicles if there is a significant
decline in the cost of the power electronics needed to integrate the two
systems.

The synergy between the energy storage devices used in vehicles and the ones
used for renewable grid applications is strongest when batteries and
ultracapacitors are used for both. This dual use of batteries and
ultracapacitors in transportation and utility applications will increase the
demand and volume for lithium batteries and ultracapacitors. As high-volume
production facilities are built, costs will drop and increase the market
penetration of these two energy storage technologies. Therefore, we look forward
to a lot of innovation in lithium battery and ultracapacitor technologies."

How Will the Smart Grid Work?
The Obama administration lays out its plan for how smart grid standards should
work

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=smart-grid-nist-standards-comme\
rce-department

The Commerce Department unveiled the first 77 "smart grid" standards today aimed
at removing a major barrier to the implementation of digital grid technologies.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology draft report highlights 31
standards with "relevance" to smart-grid development and another 46 standards as
"potentially" applicable to the smart grid.

"Central to this report is cybersecurity," Secretary Gary Locke said at the
GridWeek conference in Washington, D.C. "We need to do it right, but we cannot
take forever because everything else depends on the foundation of our
cybersecurity efforts."

While NIST has held three workshops that drew more than 1,500 participants to
work on the initial standards, the agency will also collect comments for 30 days
on the draft report. After that, NIST will release the final standards report,
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will decide which standards will be
authorized, as mandated by the 2007 energy bill.

NIST plans to release the final "phase 1.0" report by the end of the year, the
Commerce Department said.

"We are moving aggressively," Locke said. "We will not let up. We will make the
smart grid a reality in America."

The report also identifies 70 "gaps" that must be addressed in the standards and
14 "priority action" plans that "most urgently" need support -- including
standards for smart meter upgradeability, price and product definitions,
energy-use information, guidelines for wireless communications, and electric
storage and vehicle interoperability standards.

NIST and stakeholders have already finished one "priority action" standard. The
first official standard on smart meter upgradeability was also announced today
by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, an association of
electrical and medical imaging equipment manufacturers. NIST and other
stakeholders identified the need for "guidance" for utilities planning to invest
in smart meters for pilot projects and demonstration projects before the
standards were completed. The report said utilities are projected to ultimately
invest $40 billion to $50 billion in smart meters and globally install 100
million new smart grids in five years.

Many utilities have already included smart-meter pilot projects and technology
in applications funded by $4 billion from the stimulus law. The Energy
Department's initial request for proposals for the grants has already been
"dramatically oversubscribed," according to DOE.

"Phase 2" of the smart grid process includes the creation of a "Smart Grid
Interoperability Panel" to continue the standards process, and "phase 3" will
develop and implement a framework for testing and certification. NIST plans to
take steps toward implementation in 2010, the report says.

"While standards are necessary for achieving interoperability, they are not
sufficient," the report says. "A testing and certification regime is essential."

Green Job Opportunities Increase While Questions Remain

http://www.citytowninfo.com/career-and-education-news/articles/green-job-opportu\
nities-increase-while-questions-remain-09111203

The 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was hailed by the environmental
and alternative energy community because of its provisions to stimulate the
economy through the creation of millions of green jobs over the next ten years.
It was looked upon as a win-win proposition for tackling global climate change
and other environmental challenges, and for addressing high unemployment rates.
However, a closer look at what's behind the green job fanfare has raised
questions about the growth and types of employment that are considered green.

Generally speaking, green jobs are those in a variety of fields such as energy
efficiency, renewable energy, green building, biofuels production, low-fuel and
low emission vehicles, recycling, sustainable product design and manufacture,
and conservation of natural habitats. Hot off the press are two studies
examining trends in the growth and quality of green jobs.

Two new studies examine the growth of green jobs

One, released at the end of October by the American Solar Energy Society (ASES),
reports that tackling climate change in the U.S. could significantly increase
the net number of new jobs. If Congress aggressively commits to programs that
support long term development of energy efficiency and renewable energy (EE&RE),
the U.S. could see a net growth of 4.5 million new jobs by 2030. At the same
time, greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced sufficiently to mitigate climate
change.

"The twin challenges of climate change and economic stagnation can be solved by
the same action--broad, aggressive, sustained deployment of renewable energy and
energy efficiency," said Brad Collins, ASES' Executive Director. "The solution
for one is the solution for the other."

The report states that new jobs will be available over a wide range of skill and
experience levels to include electricians, plumbers, carpenters, administrative
assistants, machinists, cashiers, management analysts, civil engineers, and
sheet metal workers. The construction and farming industries are likely to
benefit the most, with employment opportunities available throughout the
country. Because much of the work will need to be on-site, EE&RE jobs are not
likely to be outsourced.

A second new study conducted by Clean Edge, Inc., a research and publishing firm
devoted to the clean-tech sector, looks at job trends related to harnessing
renewable materials and energy sources; reducing the use of natural resources by
increasing efficiency and productivity; and cutting or eliminating pollution and
toxic wastes. Based on studies of job placements, job postings, and public and
private investments, it finds that the top five sectors for clean-tech job
activity in the U.S. are solar; biofuels and biomaterials; conservation and
efficiency; smart grid; and wind power.

The report indicates that a variety of green tech jobs pay well and provide job
security. While identifying the top 15 metropolitan areas around the U.S. where
clean tech job activity will be highest, as well as geographic clusters of clean
tech expertise around the world, the authors state that these areas "are far
from the only places to find quality employment in the sector. The clean-tech
revolution is a highly dispersed phenomenon -- unlike the earlier high-tech
revolution with its epicenter of Silicon Valley. No one place or region will
control any one clean-tech sector."

Questions raised about green job definitions, trends and quality

In spite of rosy predictions for the green jobs movement, there is dissidence
among cautious observers. The controversy focuses on issues such as actual job
growth, quality and compensation, and environmental impacts of green jobs. Some
dissenters also confuse the issue by voicing doubts around green job growth as
objections to the proposed cap and trade agreement and other incentives to
reduce climate change and increase investments in green technology, energy
efficiency and environmental responsibility.

One of the issues that is debated is how green jobs are counted. An article in
Slate Magazine explains that much of the research examining green job creation
and growth simply counts the payrolls of companies in renewable energy, ignoring
the fact that energy generated from alternative sources displaces jobs
associated with energy that is generated by traditional means. That is, the loss
of jobs due to the greening of the economy is not factored into calculations.

The Institute for Energy Research (IER), a free-market, pro-business research
group has a similar complaint. As reported in a New York Times article a study
funded by IER finds that many previous studies have over-hyped the potential to
create good green jobs by overlooking job losses such as those arising from the
closure of polluting industries such as coal-fired power plants. In response to
this critique, the new ASES study took pains to emphasize the distinction
between the total numbers of jobs in the energy field and the new jobs that will
be created.

Debate about how well green jobs pay

Another common point of contention is discussed in a article in Marketwatch. It
asserts that the majority of new green jobs will be low-paying blue collar jobs
requiring little or no higher education. That is, they will not be high quality,
nor offer room for advancement. It cites reports stating that the positions most
likely to be filled will be for low-paying jobs in construction, farming, HVAC
installation, maintenance, carpentry, electricity, landscaping and garbage
collection.

The Clean Edge study refutes this claim, as well as the argument that when a
manufacturing facility is closed, jobs are automatically lost. In fact, it cites
examples of formerly shuttered factories, often in hard-hit industrial areas,
being retooled to produce products and services useful for new and emerging
clean-tech activities.

A study conducted by Worldwatch Institute for the United Nations Environment
Program points out that green jobs are not always considered good jobs. One
example is in electronics recycling, where poor, unskilled workers are employed
to recover raw materials, thus reducing pressure on natural resources. Many of
these jobs expose workers to hazardous substances, posing health risks and
causing environmental damage. These jobs offer little security, may pose safety
hazards, and are usually low pay.

Definitions remain unclear

The Marketwatch article brings up a basic point regarding the meaning of the
term green job. It states that the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics
has yet to compile real data on green jobs, nor to come up with a definition.
The Slate article offers an example of ambiguity, pointing out that a recent
United Nations report estimated that the heavily subsidized U.S. ethanol
industry provides employment for approximately five times as many people as the
wind power industry and nearly 10 times as many as the solar industry.

However, ethanol is hardly considered a green fuel. Massive ethanol production
is often responsible for increasing deforestation in developing countries and
aggravating food shortages when cropland is used for fuel production. In
addition, it requires significant inputs of fossil fuels. Ethanol production can
only be considered green because that it provides jobs in the alternative energy
field.

Progress continues in spite of questions

So, what to make of these critiques? Will there be a massive growth in green
jobs over the next 20 years? And, will they fit the definition of green jobs
given by Phil Angelides, the chair of the Apollo Alliance, a coalition of
business, labor and environmental groups championing green employment? In a Time
article, he says a green job "has to pay decent wages and benefits that can
support a family. It has to be part of a real career path, with upward mobility.
And it needs to reduce waste and pollution and benefit the environment."

Time will tell, but the two recent studies - identifying real net growth in
employment and establishing the broad range of economic and geographic
opportunities for working in the green sector - are important steps towards
shedding light on the debate and, eventually, towards creating a sustainable
economy.

G'Day All,

There are many good reasons to reduce our dependence on carbon based fuels,
including concerns about switching to "bio" sources of similar chemicals.  To
focus the entire argument, with possibly fear driven emphasis, on only one
reason, may do more damage than good to the environmental movement.

Follow the below link to an article from a respected publication, which raises
doubts about just one of the more commonly used arguments against carbon based
fuels.
