How to write Research Thesis paper and Tips

Choose a topic which interests and challenges you. Your attitude towards the topic may well determine the amount of effort and enthusiasm you put into your research. Focus on a limited aspect, e.g. narrow it down from "Religion" to "World Religion" to "Buddhism". Obtain teacher approval for your topic before embarking on a full-scale research. If you are uncertain as to what is expected of you in completing the assignment or project, re-read your assignment sheet carefully or ASK your teacher.… Continue

The Regulatory Guy: You Can Make A Difference!

9 months ago, when Sassan approached me about starting a renewable energy business, he did so with the idea that I was the right guy for navigating the industry’s complicated maze of government regulations and incentives. While the actual assignment did not sound too exciting (even for a “detail” guy), Sassan’s vision of what we could accomplish in promoting clean energy sol… Continue

It took $700B pkg to pass the solar/Wind Bill

Couple months ago I wrote a piece titles “Vote them out”. This was my stab at dirty politicians who failed to extend Federal Funding to renewable and kept pumping our Tax dollars to Big Oil. This bill would extend the Federal Tax Credit past December 31st, 2008 and promote further build out of renewable farms. We’ll, it finally passed. Stuffed into the side of the $700B bailout pkg. but cleared nonetheless. This was one of the compromises the Democrats made in order to bail out the Administrati… Continue

What I did today to reduce fossil fuel usage

Every day I try to do little things to help the cause. They add up!

Today I drove my scooter into to school. Instead of using a disposable paper cup for my coffee, I used my travel mug. I needed to print out papers for school and printed 2 pages per side per sheet.

Little things count.

Instead of using Google, I used Blackle. (www.blackle.com) It's Google with a black background. They say that if everyone used Blackle, we'd save lots of energy by not using as much elec… Continue

First off, I'm a bit of a car guy. A few times a year, I can be found risking life and limb at a racetrack in northern California. There's som… Continue

Bay Area May Impose Global Warming Fees on Businesses That Pollute

There was a great article in the San Jose Mercury News over the weekend about a proposed plan to charge Bay Area businesses a 'cost recovery fee' based on their greenhouse gas emissions. The cool thing about this plan, and what makes it different from a traditional (and controversial) 'carbon tax', is that the money goes directly toward global warming reduction measures in Bay Area communities.

It's a simple concept, but one that see… Continue
