Hello

This is a nice " press release & review" article made by the European
Wind Energy Association.

They say: « Wind energy currently meets 3.7% of EU electricity demand.
Pure Power shows that the European Commission's goal of increasing that
share to 12% by 2020 is certainly achievable. In 2007, wind power
capacity in the EU increased by 8.5 GW, and on average, wind power
capacity needs to increase by 9.5 GW per year over the next 13 years to
reach 180 GW and meet 12-14% of EU power demand in 2020.

180 GW of wind in 2020 would produce 477 TWh of electricity, of which
133 TWh would come from offshore wind. This is equivalent to supplying
the needs of 107 million average EU households. Wind power on this level
would represent 18.1% of the total installed electricity-generating
capacity in the EU, which is over half of the renewables contribution
needed for the binding target. »

However sounds like they have military background, McCain was there!
Arnold was there!
Political connections and good products! Nobody is that perfect! : - )

1. BIPV fabric

Solar Integrated Technologies

http://www.solarintegrated.com/about_us.htm

Solar Integrated has developed a proprietary process to laminate
thin-film, amorphous, photovoltaic cells to heavy-duty fabrics. The
result is a fused fabric and solar panel product that is applicable to
virtually any flat surface.


2. Solar Tents

http://www.solarintegrated.com/solar_tents.htm

These solar tents, which come in two standard sizes, 20 x 40 or 40 x 60,
are ideally suited to disaster recovery missions, military applications,
emergency medial care, computer post, or other applications where secure
power and shelter are needed but not readily available.

The Solar Tent supplies electric power to remote locations as a
complement or alternative to diesel generator power. The tents are
supported by a lightweight aluminum frame structure, designed for
interlocking multiple sections together to extend square footage if a
larger area is required.

3. Cool Roof

http://www.solarintegrated.com/non_pv.htm

a lightweight rigid insulation that provides excellent R-value, and
gypsum board that acts as a fire barrier and provides resistance against
punctures. The roof is topped with a durable white single-ply roofing
membrane.

These three components provide customers with an energy efficient,
weather-tight roof and efficient building design that significantly
improves the thermal performance of the roof top, and is known in the
industry as a “Cool Roof”.

http://www.gizmag.com/solar-cells-created-with-inkjet-technology/9094/


April 3, 2008 Using FUJIFILM’s cartridge-based Dimatix Materials Printer
(DMP), Konarka Technologies <http://www.konarka.com/> has demonstrated
the world's-first fabrication of highly efficient solar cells using of
inkjet printing technology.

Inkjet technology operates by propelling variably-sized droplets of
liquid or molten material onto almost any medium. Inkjets are the most
common type of computer printer for the general consumer; however the
technology has wider applications in the industrial arena. Inkjet
printers are also used in the production of many microscopic items and
to form conductive traces for circuits, color filters in LCD and plasma
displays and now - photovoltaic solar cells.

The DMP used for the demonstration is a turnkey, bench-top materials
deposition system that uses FUJIFILM’s inkjet technology and Shaped
Piezo Silicon MEMS fabrication processes in depositing picoliter-sized
droplets of functional fluids on all types of surfaces. By employing
single-use cartridges that researchers can fill with their own fluid
materials, the DMP system minimizes waste of expensive fluid materials,
thereby eliminating the cost and complexity associated with traditional
product development and prototyping. The DMP is suitable for prototyping
and low-volume manufacturing, and the technology is scalable from
research and development to production.

The results of the demonstration were published in the journal /Advanced
Materials/ (Volume 19, Issue 22, Pages 3973-3978), highlighting the use
of the technology as a fabrication tool for the controlled deposition of
photovoltaic material.

Konarka (which has also developed and is commercializing Power Plastic
<http://www.gizmag.com/go/5097/>, a material that converts light to
energy) says the demonstration confirms that organic solar cells can be
processed with printing technologies with little or no loss compared to
“clean room” semiconductor technologies such as spin coating - a process
used to apply uniform thin film solar cells to flat base materials. The
inkjet technology also had the advantage of being compatible with
various base materials and does not require additional patterning.

While the demonstration was the "first-known" according to the Konarka's
release, the attractive notion of printable solar cells is not entirely
new. Last year researchers at the New Jersey Institute of Technology
<http://www.njit.edu/> announced the development of an inexpensive solar
cell <http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/07/070719011151.htm>,
using a carbon nanotubes complex that can be painted or printed on
flexible plastic sheets, and could one day lead to the creation of solar
cells with inexpensive home-based inkjet printers.

Believe it or not, you can get free internet service out of your toilet!

AT&T/Yahoo internet service is forcing all customers to register all
non-yahoo
and client-based email addresses at yahoo's personal account.  You
have to log in your web-based email account and list your email,
user names and pw at yahoo public website by adding any email addresses
that you need them to handle.
Which will be exposed to all kinds of hackers who can break the mere
pw-protected system.

By refusing to expose my work mails,  they are adding me to a "553 block
list",
and all my out going emails from Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Opera could
not be send.

After protesting for two days, 4 hours on chat line and phone line.
Because I think AT&T cannot endanger their customers by forcing our arms
to list those information at a public website.  It is illegal and
unconstitutional.
They cannot gurantee nobody will not get those information, it is like
ID theft.
Who should be responsible hackers used those addresses to defraud innocent
victims and the real email owners ended facing the claims.

The customer service and tech support could not help me, one agent tried to
unblock me because he said there is other ways to verify who is using those
account and not sending spam mails.  However his management superseded
his action.  So he could not unblock me after exhausting his tools.
So they gave me AT & T's legal department to file a complain.  I'd
called my
attorney, even he had caved in to the request, because it is a contract.
You either comply or find another service.  So I did and went to
search internet and found Google is offering free internet service via your
sewage system!

Dance of the Oil Fairies

http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0804/S00049.htm


On April Fools' Day, the House Select Committee on Energy
Independence and Global Warming invited executives from the five
biggest US oil companies to answer questions about high gas prices,
oil company profits and the future of oil. Executives from Exxon,
Shell, BP America, Chevron and ConocoPhillips responded to a battery
of questions from committee members who ranged from strongly
skeptical to downright sycophantic (all the sycophants were
Republicans).


Even the most hard-hitting questioners, however, failed to pin the
execs down on the real issue, which is how to convince an oil
industry that is running up against absolute supply limits to switch
gears and invest resources in what Rep. Jay Inslee (D-Washington)
called the "clean energy revolution." With practiced facility, the
oil execs danced around the question and reconfirmed their commitment
to the relentless pursuit of hydrocarbons in any form, no matter how
dirty or expensive to extract.

Committee Chair Ed Markey opened with the observation that today the
poorest 20 percent of Americans are spending 10 percent of their
income on gasoline, while oil company profits have quadrupled in the
past six years. Markey said that much of this profit was wasted last
year and alleged that the five companies spent $50 billion on what he
called "financial engineering" to prop up the price of their stock.

Markey called on the companies to consider the plight of the poorest
Americans and pledge 10 percent of their profits to renewable energy
investments. He also asked them to stop opposing the renewable energy
legislation passed by the House (but not yet by the Senate) that
would shift $18 billion in tax breaks for oil over to support
renewable energy.

J. Stephen Simon, senior vice president for Exxon, responded that the
oil industry needs the profits it makes in good years to carry it
through the bad years. He stressed the cyclical nature of the oil
business, citing the oil price spike in 1980 that reached over $100 a
barrel in today's dollars. He said the prediction at that time was
for oil to go to over $250 a barrel in today's dollars, but it never
did. By the mid 1980s, prices had fallen dramatically and the
industry was "in dire straits." That could happen again, he implied.

John Hofmeister, president of Shell Oil Company, seemed more
connected to the reality of oil today. He called the energy supply
and demand outlook "sobering," acknowledging that "demand is
increasing unrelentingly." He said that he agreed with Chairman
Markey that the country needs a Manhattan Project or Apollo-style
project to develop new energy sources. Shell supports a cap and trade
system to reduce carbon emissions, and Hofmeister said, "We must work
now to address CO2 emissions as we make the transition from fossil
fuels to new energy sources." But while giving lip service to climate
issues, Shell is also making major investments in the most carbon-
intensive energy sources: Canadian tar sands, US oil shale and coal
gasification technologies.

Peter Robertson of Chevron acknowledged that "the system is
straining" to provide oil for increasing consumption. He called
for "urgent action" and increased efficiency to moderate demand.
Between 2007 and 2008, Chevron plans to spend $2.5 billion on
renewables and energy efficiency services. One example is a
partnership with Weyerhauser Corporation to develop an advanced
biofuels project. But Robertson cautioned on the scale of the
challenge to replace fossil fuels. He said, "a large biofuels plant
in the US produces in a year what one of our refineries produces in a
week."

John Lowe of ConocoPhillips said renewables were not part of their
core business and he would "disavow the concept that alternatives can
be quickly deployed." He said the US is in a global race with other
countries to increase supplies and warned that "punitive taxes"
would "undermine our capabilities."

Bob Malone of BP America said, "we support renewable incentives, but
taxing one form of energy to support another will mean less energy
overall." BP is nearly doubling the capacity of its Maryland solar
photovoltaic plant and investing in next-generation biofuels that do
not use a food crop, he said.

During the two-and-a-half-hour hearing, the oil executives repeatedly
referred to a study by the National Petroleum Council released last
July called "Facing the Hard Truths about Energy." This study
maintains that oil, gas and coal will continue to dominate the energy
mix in 2030, with renewables playing only a small part. The execs
used this conclusion to dance around the need for rapid deployment of
renewables, saying their study shows you can't get there from here.

Energy analyst Tom Whipple has disparaged the petroleum industry's
study, saying: "The NPC artfully camouflaged the enormous near-term
challenges in producing sufficient oil and gas to fuel the global
economy. Hard truths are hinted at but never clearly identified.
Troubling trends are referenced, but their ramifications are dodged."

In the course of the hearing, only one Congressional representative
actually uttered the words "peak oil." Jerry McNerney (the Democratic
wind energy consultant who defeated arch anti-green California
Congressman Richard Pombo in 2006) asked the oil executives if they
thought opening up Alaska and offshore areas to oil development would
make much difference in the timing of peak oil.

Shell Oil's Hofmeister quickly responded that he did "not subscribe
to peak oil" and that Shell believes that world oil production will
rise from the current 85 million barrels a day to the 110 to 115
million barrels needed to meet future demand. He said peak oil theory
is "based on very narrow assumptions" that do not include
unconventional oil sources like the Canadian tar sands.

Chairman Markey continued to sharpen his sword for Exxon, the oil
company that has made the most profits and invested the least in
renewable energy. He extracted from J. Stephen Simon the information
that Exxon's investments in renewable energy amount to only about one-
half of one percent of its revenue.

Jay Inslee of Washington pursued the matter of Exxon's investments
further. He pointed to the global warming challenge that will require
reducing emissions 80 percent below present levels by 2050 and said
to Simon, "If your company continues on its present course, it will
fall several hundred orders of magnitude short of what we must to do
to prevent cataclysmic global climate changeÉif you don't put
research dollars into it, where are these new technologies going to
come from? The oil fairies?"

Inslee asked Simon to consider a study done at Stanford called "A
Renewable Energy Solution to Global Warming" by Mark Jacobson. The
study concluded that the US could replace all of its vehicles with
battery electric vehicles powered by 71,000 to 122,000 five megawatt
wind turbines. Building those turbines would be the industrial
equivalent of building all the aircraft used in World War II. It
could be done.

"Wouldn't you agree," he asked Simon, "that this vision from Stanford
is one the US really needs? With your pathetically small research
budget, we are not going to get there."

Inslee said that Simon's testimony had made him even more determined
to act. Addressing Simon again, he said: "I don't see things
changing, and obviously we've got to change you by changing this tax
policy."

While Big Oil fights any reduction in its subsidized tax breaks, the
struggling renewable energy industry is facing a catastrophe as its
small but vital production and investment tax credits expire at the
end of 2008. Already the lack of certainty is constraining investment.

Renewable energy lobbyist Scott Sklar of the Stella Group said that
the industry is seeing job losses and market moves into Europe and
out of the US. He expects that even if Congress manages to pass a
temporary one-year extension of the subsidies, the industry will
still lose 20,000 jobs and utility-scale renewable projects will stop.

Jens Søby, president of Vestas Americas, a wind turbine manufacturer,
said, "An extension of the federal Production Tax Credit is crucial,
as it will enable investments in facilities and jobs in our industry
to be fully realized and allow us to develop our long-term
strategies. There is a need for market stability; for example, when
the PTC expired and was not extended at the end of 2003, the wind
industry saw a 77 percent drop in the annual installation of new wind
generating capacity according to the American Wind Energy
Association."

On March 5, 2008, Vestas opened its first North American
manufacturing facility, producing turbine blades in Windsor,
Colorado. The factory will employ 650 people. This kind of news could
be repeated in towns all over the country, but not as long as Bush
Republicans and Big Oil stand in the way.

Where are those oil fairies when you need them?

a global risk capital fund to boost investment in energy efficiency and

renewables


The European Commission is setting up a global risk capital fund to
mobilise private investment in energy efficiency and renewable energy
projects in developing countries and economies in transition.
The Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund (GEEREF) will
accelerate the transfer, development and deployment of environmentally
sound technologies and help to bring secure energy supplies to people in
poorer regions of the world.
These projects will also combat climate change and air pollution.

The Commission proposed GEEEREF in October 2006 and intends to
kick-start the fund with a contribution of €80 million over the next
four years.
Financing from other public and private sources has already taken the
initial funding to at least €100 million.
These investments are expected to attract risk capital of between €300
million and €1 billion for investment in projects on the ground.
GEEREF will prioritise small investments, below €10 million, that are
largely ignored by commercial investors and international financial
institutions.

Hello tomorrow-energy readers

This is an article that attracted my attention.... Is about the very big
politics of the energy market inside europe and all the aliens around EU.

It bring very original solutions to the big problems of the european
energy dependency. Anyway, is outside the typical post in
tomorrow-energy (that more down to simple and hand made solutions for
the energy problem).

I have dificulties to understant what is the solution that the writer
propose to us and what is a review of the today situation in the big
politics of energy in the european-asian-african broad-continent.

By opposition to the former Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs the former
communist newspaper the Pravda.ru writes clear and using "sound bites"
in this remarkable article:

e-0


   Europe faces energetic collapse

Europe is running low on electricity and Russia won’t be able to help.
Scientists encourage the EU residents to burn candles and to stop
cooking on electrical ovens.
--

Is a lovely writing... the god old days of simple sentences with the
following simple solutions are back :

«Luckily, things now are not that bad. Europe still carefully traces its
energetic security. In addition, such severe winters are not really
common in Europe. However, if the serious frost breaks this year in
Europe, there might be some blackouts in the energetic system. Russia
offers Europe a way out of the crisis. European energetic system can
join Russian Joint-Stock Company "Unified Energy System of Russia". »

You must read this Pravda first then go back to the article of the Dutch
Minister of Foreign Affairs ... then he will be a little more clear...

Hemp for Ethanol in Kentucky, with Craig Lee



A descendent of hemp farmers and curator
  of the Kentucky Hemp Museum & Library,
  Craig Lee knows hemp is a superior crop
  choice for cellulosic ethanol production
  - the next wave in eco-friendly fuels.
Hemp hurds contain 70% cellulose. Also,
  hemp seed can be used for biodiesel and
  for food products. Craig points out that
  using hemp for ethanol will leave corn
  and soybeans to their best uses as food.

For those interested in investing in certain forms of renewable
energy, especially those applicable to buildings which in UK form
the largest single energy end user there are some useful finance
items in the URLs below.

In principle a profitable concern, say an equipment leasing firm,
can obtain grants of up to 50% of the cost of specified renewable
energy equipment, and then write off the balance of the costs in
their first financial year after installation. Thereafter an energy
income is derived from assets which have "nil book value" for as
long as the concern wishes the lease to run.  At the end
arrangements might  be made for the user of the renewable energy
equipment to purchase the item, giving a further financial return.

The above arrangements could with advantage be used for instance
in "community wide" installation of Solar Water Heating and Heat
Pumps, given that hot water and space heating are to very  large
energy end uses. The size of the "market" may be judged by taking
the 25 million houses in UK at [say] 1500 kWhrs worth of Solar Hot
Water per house per annum as being equivalent to about 4.5 1000 MW
power stations at 91% utilization, or 39 400 MW wind farms at 30%
utilization

Hello


Can you understand your electricity power meter? Mine have a series of
numbers and letters that roll in a single line small lcd display. No
idea what that means. I have either no idea were the electricity came
from. It will came from wind or from a coal power station? The system do
not give me any freedom to choose... *But there are news:

--*
People who want to save energy should always keep an eye on their
consumption. The EWE Box offers customers a neat solution: It enables
private households to monitor their electricity and gas consumption
whenever they want – and save costs thanks to new pricing models.

Somebody is using solar to send sales pitch for a 79% discount
and one even sent to solar, that was how I knew about it.
Sometime it was returned mails back from some invalid email addresses.

It was because of the spamming that AT&T/Yahoo is forcing users
to list all the client-based email addresses at yahoo's account
but that will allow the capable hackers to invade more confidential
informations.

There was a counter measure to bombard the spam sources with the
same treatments. They will receive back the same kind of traffic.

There seems to be no way to stop them, wasting a lot of energy
and bandwidth.  Internet is being abused.

I'd have to sign a $9.99/month dial-up account to send outgoing
emails via Outlook Express, Thunderbird or Opera.  Not caving in
like my attorney who had listed his work mail accounts at yahoo's
public website.

Yesterday news reported the 900 flights cancellation, partially
because of the fuel price is so high.  The presold ticket is
really a money losers for the air lines,  3 closed down including
Hawaiian air line. So people got stranded everywhere.
The news was showing all these passengers calling on cell phones
to change engagements, informing families......

It is also perilous to think there is no alternative bullet train
system, other types of mass transportation connecting East and
west coast of United States.

Totally relying on oil is now a menace of life. when the oil
was cheap, it had moved this country to drive ICE almost exclusively
and taking a flight is like taking an air bus.

Not anymore, and during these cozy days.  The governments didn't
built any alternative transportation, Never worry about alternative
energy back up system or a dual energy system.  They had never
even considered to update the infrastructure to prepare for the
oil crisis.  Just let is passed and didn't do anything about it.

The congressmen looks fat and old, not capable to do the renovation
of the entire supporting structure.  When re-election is coming,
it is better to look at those 70-90 years old senators.  If they
didn't do anything, it is about time to put some new bloods or
some technocrats into the congress.  Whoever is responsible for
the poor performance in the congress better step down themselves!

I still favor the idea to pass legislation to force auto makers
to produce every car models in both ICE and Electric for everybody
to choose.  Some of the running models that already passed the
road tests, do not need to retest.  It can save considerably
expenses comparing to the new car companies.

Just like a shift stick over automatic?
Everybody can pick a car they like and some uses oil and some
may switch to electricity.

With better batteries, Electric cars is better than Hybrid.
Al Gore is wrong, he can do more things as a powerful president.
I don't even care if he will deal mainly the energy and environmental
crisis over other things. Because that is exactly what he is
trying to do right now.  Being a civilian and the president, but
doing the same things.

If you think Economy is the priority, who you think is the magician
for the job?  Greenspan is not the pick to put all the blame on, who
used to be tooted the wizard.

It happens to me all the time.
Some times it's a virus on your system but most of the time it is
someone
"phishing" and it is dispicable. I've had these A**holes
spam millions for porn and erection pills using my company email
addresses. It is very hard to track. Trying to succesfully ping back
to these magots is practically impossible unless you hire a internet
forensics team.

Breakthrough Invention Promises To Revolutionize The Way We Get Our
Energy
Solar Balloons - Video

It's a shock no one thought of it before
but a new development to provide green electricity
could change the way the world powers itself.
An engineering team from the Technion put together
a cutting edge project that places solar panels on
helium balloons. The balloons are then placed on a
cable, and can be stacked one of top of the other.
Prototypes are rough now, but the design should be
easy to streamline.  Designers think the first models
could be available in the next year - with each balloon
providing the same amount of electricity as 25 square
meters of solar panels.  That's enough to power a washer
and dryer for  an entire year!
The goal is to make the balloons available to the masses

NO, won't work :( but, what we could do is open
the flood gates... let every car, motorcycle, and
vehicle maker in... and everything from scooters
to 4 wheeled cars be legal on the streets and let
the car makers compete in a truly open market for
a change... then they will actually have to make
what the people want or not exist any longer... (
I believe it's called 'a free market' )
