The Holy Grail of clean energy economy is in sight: Affordable storage for wind and solar
Posted by Content Keyword RSS on 31 Aug 2009 | Tagged as: 1
Enabling safe, clean energy that will never run out is a key to averting catastrophic climate change. Roughly half the “solution” to global warming is solar and wind [see " How the world can (and will) stabilize at 350 to 450 ppm "]. Of course, many U.S. concentrated solar plants will use low-cost, high-efficiency thermal storage . In the longer term, plug-in hybrids and electric cars are likely to play a key role in storage, if issues surrounding battery life can be solved and/or battery

An interesting post on Israel21c about a startup developing products for small urban wind farms. The fluctuations of urban wind make capturing its energy more difficult Variable Wind Solutions of Tel-Aviv is working on technology to improve the output and efficiency of the wind turbines – not on the turbines themselves. It claims the fluctuating wind conditions of population centers make it difficult to effectively capture energy from the wind. This is a key reason why urban farms a

This is a report on the zero emissions building virtual design charrette that took place in HOK’s Advanced Collaboration Rooms in San Francisco, Toronto and St. Louis on 31 July 2009. Lots of video clips at the end! This meeting began with a restating of the goal of designing a zero emissions building design that will reduce the energy requirements for a traditional St. Louis office building of 150,000-200,000 square feet by 70-80 percent. They will use on-site renewable energy source
