Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Network) News -02-04-06 Reality Check on President's Oil Reduction Plan (Christian Science Monitor) "With Americans concerned about rising gasoline prices and dependence on imported oil, the president wants to cut 75 percent of US oil imports from the region by 2025 - and he provided a new energy plan to help do it." "A bipartisan proposal in Congress - the 'Vehicle and Fuel Choices for American Security Act' - advocates a 7-million-barrel cut over 20 years, nearly double Bush's proposal and eliminating the need for any Middle Eastern oil." 02-06 -04-18-08 Petroalgae (Time.com) "Even better, the algae are capable of feeding off the carbon emissions from fossil fuels, and the pollutants in waste water. If the technology matures, you could have a perfect circle: the algae eat the carbon from a coal plant, then are used to make an environmentally friendly fuel that limits the need for petroleum. PetroAlgae is still a long way off from commercialization, but the technology has some greens salivating. 'Algae consume a tremendous amount of CO2, and we're in a marketplace where getting rid of CO2 is a very good thing,' says Tennant. 'We're looking at a carbon-negative solution.' " 04-08 Green Energy Investment (GreenChipStocks.com) Provides news and articles on supporting green energy solutions. 07-08 Papers Alternative Fuel Vehicles (CNN News) Provides 10 choices. 08-07 Cold Fusion (Wikipedia.org) "Cold fusion is the name for effects which could be nuclear fusion reactions occuring near room temperature and pressure using relatively simple and low-input energy devices. " 07-06 Energy Costs and Alternative Energy by State (EREN) Provides basic information related to energy and alternative energy by state. Includes projects, costs, contacts, and more. 1-01 Scientists Discover 6 Million New Genes in the Ocean (PBS News) "Scientists spent two years trawling the oceans for bacteria and viruses, and in the process discovered 6 million new genes, doubling the number known on Earth and holding promise for new antibiotics and alternative energy sources." "The newly discovered genes include those that help microbes use the sun's energy in new ways, help them use nitrogen and protect them from ultraviolet light, the scientists reported." 03-07 The Next Generation of Alternative Energy (U.S. News) "Now that alternative energy is the new darling of Silicon Valley, investors are pumping cash into a raft of obscure technologies, from wave power to algae fuel. Despite the sluggish economy, alternative-energy start-ups received a record $2 billion in venture capital funding in the second quarter of 2008, a 58 percent increase from a year earlier, according to Cleantech Group, a market research firm. Today, clean technology—which includes alternative energy producers—accounts for 20 percent of all venture capital funding, up from just 1 percent in 2001, says John Balbach, a Cleantech managing partner." 07-08 What Is a Megawatt? (Utilipoint.com) "The commonly used 'one MW of generation equates to 1,000 homes' is a myth that likely originated years ago when households were smaller and air conditioning wasn't as common. For conventional generators, such as a coal plant, a megawatt of capacity will produce electricity that equates to about the same amount of electricity consumed by 400 to 900 homes in a year. For renewable energy such as wind or solar, the equivalent is even less because they typically produce less energy than conventional generators since their “fuel source” is intermittent. "
