Another reason to believe in wind power
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”.

Magic Hat: a brewery that runs on beer
If you’re like most folks at happy hour, you probably never think about what it took to make that beer in your hand… some could care less about the quantity they consume, but that’s another topic… anyway, did you know that one of the best breweries out there is running its operations on beer? No, they’re not getting drunk off their own supply, instead they’re running their facility by turning their excess beer and other organic waste into natural gas.
A typical brewery produces plenty of organic waste during the brewing process by using large quantities of hops, barley, yeast, etc.. Some of the spent grain is usually sold or given away to farmers as cattle feed, and some of it may end up as wastewater in the watershed, after being treated on site. But thanks to Purpose Energy‘s biphase orbicular bioreactor (or B.O.B.), the brewery’s organic waste can be turned into biogas, which can then be used to power the facility.
The man behind Purpose Energy and B.O.B. is Eric Fitch, a 37 year-old mechanical engineer by training, and home brewing extraordinaire (he once clogged up the pipes of his Cambridge, MA, apartment building when he dumped the oatmeal looking organic waste from his brew into his garbage dispenser). Fitch initially tested out his invention by taking away the waste from Yuengling’s brewery in Tampla, FL, to a local farm, where he dumped it into a 400-gallon methane digester. With his refined B.O.B, he went back to New England to approach several breweries for a pilot project, and Magic Hat agreed.
Magic Hat’s 42-foot tall silo structure is what houses Purpose Energy’s B.O.B. system. The B.O.B. has a 50-foot diameter, can hold 490,000 gallons of waste slurry, and produces about 200 cubic feet of biogas per minute to power the brewery’s operations. The whole thing cost about $4 million to build, and just 100 feet away from the main Magic Hat facility, it’s like having your own power plant in your backyard. The system can save up to $2 per barrel of beer, and with Magic Hat’s medium-sized operations delivering 154,000 barrels of beer per year, they save approximately $25,000 every month!
Like its company slogan says, Purpose Energy is “saving the earth, one beer at a time.” And we say cheers to that! (via boston.com, treehugger.com)
