Sassan 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

milanbaros 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

J McKinley To Drill or Not to Drill

What do you think about all this talk of eschewing the ban on US offshore drilling? Senator McCain, President Bush and many other Republican talking heads are touting this as the be-all, end-all to the current state of high fuel prices. Unfortunately, and, might I add, as is completely expected from such… Continue

J McKinley It's Not What You Drive, It's How You Drive It

A few weeks back, I was returning from a wonderful trip to Yosemite National Park on the somewhat depressing 2 lane farm 'highways' that litter the Central Valley of CA. The strangest thing happened - some guy in a blue Prius came rocketing by us, passing (somewhat legally) in the oncoming lane at 80+ mph. As I watched up the road, the Prius driver continued to… Continue

J McKinley These Legs Don't Run on Petroleum

The next time someone complains to me about how high gas prices are this summer, they are taking one straight in the kisser. Trust me, I just dropped $4.79 a gallon a few days ago - I KNOW that it's expensive to drive these days. But you know what? Screw it. Things are not going to cha… Continue

J McKinley High Oil Prices: Bubble or Not?

Oil prices have been rising since 2001 for a variety of reasons: a weakening dollar, increased American and international demand and stagnant supply (not helped by OPEC). With the current price at an all time record high for most of America, some groups posit that there is effectively a… Continue

J McKinley Membership Call To Action: Sign the Petition for a Yellow Pages Opt-Out Policy

I wrote about phone books and Yellow Page directories a few weeks ago, with a focus on the natural resources consumed and waste produced by their manufacture. After researching the issue a bit deeper, I was alarmed to find that there is no easy or reliable way to stop delivery, or 'opt out', of Yellow Pages-type directories to y… Continue

Mark Gagner The Great Debate: Economics vs Environmentalism

Q Don't be a drip. Save every drop.

Something we do in our household to save water is we keep a bucket in the shower. When you run the water to get it warm, spray it right into the bucket, and when you are ready to get in push it to the back, and it will catch some of the wasted spray. You will be surprised how much water you save. Okay, so now, you have a bucket of water. What to do with it? Usually we water our plants with it. Other things we have done, have included:… Continue

Mark Gagner 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

J McKinley U.S. Wind Power Rose By 45 Percent in 2007!

There's now enough wind power capacity in the US to power over 4 million homes. That's almost 17,000 megawatts! I'm amazed at the fact that capacity grew as rapidly as last year, up 45%. Texas accounts for a quarter of the US capacity, with California coming in second. Certainly this goes to show the power of global awareness, local action and entrepreneurial spirit. But while wind power leads all… Continue

Sassan BIG OIL...why should people have a problem with thier record high profits?

Last year prior to starting this company (lightwind Energy) I was fortunate enough to learn much about the energy sector, both Fossils based and renewable. In addition I learned a great deal about why Big Oil is able to make sooooo much profit and continue not invest in more renewable. Now I know what you’re thinking; “I just saw that great, warm, touchy feely commercial by Chevron about how their using Geo Thermal to power 1million homes”. This is great on all fronts but the problem is that Big… Continue

Ian Ayers Universities and Sustainability, Ethics

I've been somehow involved with the University of Virgina since 2000, and I can say that lots of talking about proposed changes on Grounds with regards to sustainability and greening, and the rest. I'm current an MBA candidate at UVA's Darden Graduate School of Business. My big question is, what changes will make the most impact, and what changes are just fluff. As we go ahead trying to figure out where to spend our limited resources to make a positive change, we should consider the net impact.… Continue

J McKinley How Much Water Do You Really Use?

Hint: probably a whole lot more than you may think, and it has very little to do with drinking or bathing. There's a concept called 'virtual water' which is gaining traction as a way to track the amount of water is used or consumed to produce materials or grow food. This is not water that is actually contained within the content of the product or food, but a measure of the average quantity of water that it takes, from start… Continue

Luz So... What are we really doing?

This past weekend I took my kids to the zoo. It was really fun as it was my baby son's first trip ever to see the animals and have a closer look. But as I'm telling my co-workers and friends about the exciting weekend I had with my family, I just realized how selfish it sounds. As human beings we're always analyzing and visualizing all the possibilities Nature has to offer to us: beautiful flora and fauna, amazing animals, breath taking sights. But, what do we give in return? Let me just descri… Continue

J McKinley Green Taxi Cabs

Did you know that there are almost 1,400 taxis in San Francisco alone? In New York, the number is 10 times that figure. Couple the sheer volume of vehicles with the fact that they spend the majority of their running time idling in traffic, and you get a very large fossil fuel sink and pollution source. What if hybrid vehicles were used to replace out-of-commission taxis? After all, the average turnover ti… Continue

J McKinley Got Paper?

There's certainly no shortage of paper products in the world. Did you know that global paper consumption is approaching one million tons per day? The case for buying recycled paper is clear, but when it comes to buying paper for your home printer, kids' schoolwork or just notepads for jotting down ideas, it can be tough to figure out all the different types of recycled paper products out there. Make sure that your paper clearly states the following characteristics to ensure a minimal glo… Continue

J McKinley Northern California Debuts Recycling Program for Home Medication

We all get sick or injured every now and again. For me, it's injuries (typically incurred from snowboarding into trees or bike race crashes), and it's more than I'd like to admit. With every visit to the doctor's office, there's a good chance of being prescribed some medication for whatever symptoms might be ailing. But after a few days, what happens almost every time? You're feeling better and the rest of the medication gets tossed into the cabinet. Fast forward to spring cleaning time, and wh… Continue

J McKinley 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

J McKinley The Tesla Roadster: Changing the Perception of Green Technology

As you may have heard, the startup Tesla Motors of San Carlos took shipment of its first production model Roadster last week. The Tesla Roadster is an amazing engineering feat and is poised to completely reframe the standard line of thinking about 'green' transportation, both locally and around the world.

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

Ian Ayers 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
