Believe in Wind Power

Believe in Wind Power

POSTED ON AUGUST 16TH, 2011 BY NICK

Another bold move to contribute in green strides recently occurred. These types of recognition is always encouraging to have because there is only so much engagement and infrastructure that are developed to increase energy efficient consciousness to more communities. This is reports about Warren Buffert – who is considered one of America’s brilliant investor, recently invested in a lot of wind power project making his company #1 in wind power ownership. This amount of possession increases wind energy technology and businesses that will lead to more alternative energy subscribers.

In addition, this project counts another wind farm development like that of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Wind energy industry continues to expand as more interested parties like Google buy into this aspect of developing clean energy. To this effect, wind power is going to be a major factor to producing clean energy into the nation’s power grid thus garnering more bureaucratic and private attention.

Though some may think that this move could be based on mere investment rather than an environmental interest. But, be that as it may, the end result will not only encourage more investors and this particular market, it will pose to gain more commercial and residential customers. Eventually other energy efficient resources could enter this market to this movement a national success.

The company – MidAmerican plans to install significant numbers of wind turbines that would generate about 3000 megawatts of clean energy this year, with more to come. That is quite a catalyst for clean energy generation services. Similar to MidAmerican, companies like Clean Currents* provide renewable energy to either businesses or residents at affordable prices. Their efforts benefit the community by providing a more affordable energy resource and also contribute to using natural sustainable energy.

So this, in a matter of doubt is proof that renewable energy is the technology that is paired with today’s technology worth every penny for investing. Producing energy that is competitive to the fossil fuel market is something worth buying into. Sooner than later, a large percentage would be subscribers to these types of “preferred reserves”.

How serious is china?

POSTED ON JUNE 19TH, 2011 BY NICK

This article is a re-post from July of last year….reflecting China’s seriousness and commitment to the green industry. In the future, we will revisit where the issue currently stands. Stay posted.

Recent reports from Pew Charitable Trusts show that China leads the G20 countries in energy-efficient investments. Clearly, China have been involved with much more industrial ventures such as the $292.9 billion electric rail investment compared to our stimulus infused $2 billion Orlando-route rail development. Despite United States leading in energy capacity, the report finds that we continue to lag in the “five-year clean energy investment growth rate” category.

Some may read this and rebut that we don’t have the money nor time to engage in such exorbitant ventures. Although the consensus of the nation’s economy is in a fragile state, we have no better time to invest than now. The reason I say this is “we must spend money to make more money.” Reviving our manufacturing sector, develop more railroad constructions, bolstering transportation systems, and creating stable jobs, is the product of these investments. New York Times also attest to the notion that “spending on railroads is growing faster than any other area of investment…” So I guess we are either doing a little bit of a good thing or we don’t know how much more the country should do. This is not a tender towards any political affiliation; but a concern that we all should be aware and motivated by. Railroad construction is not the answer nor only grubstake for businesses to buy into; it is part of the alternative energy commitment the United States should continue to embark on.

Renewable energy technology is the emerging enterprise that will continue to grow and forge more innovations. Solar installations, green remodeling, wind renewable energy credits(RECs) are domestic ventures that will yield a lot more than ever told. Let such things be your renewable energy investment; because our economy would no longer sustain this “plan A” type of economy and hold it over the lives of the middle-class and workforce of the country.

Are we hanging on for a big jolt on the hopes of an energy and climate bill? Is this issue less critical or significant than financial or immigration reform? Sadly, we have dug so deep into generational debt, and our chances for economic revival and expansion in clean renewable energy investment has quickly fallen past the top 10 of clean energy investing categories at this point. So we must charge up in these opportunities. In addition the United States has no standard for renewable energy expansion nor lengthy incentives to cultivate business investments. Pew reports show that:

  • Ten of the leading economies devoted a greater percentage of gross domestic product to clean energy than U.S in 2009.
  • Clean-energy investment in Asia, mostly China, rose 73% last year to $39 billion. By contrast, investment declined 33% last year in the Americas as the economy slowed and credit markets tightened.

These few statistics cannot emphasize any more about the very importance of clean energy investment; even if we are not the leading nation in this endeavor, the United States should look beyond fundamental differences within the government and exercise more expansion on clean energy investment to help our economy, debts, younger generation and long-term jobs.
