Oil Maverick Pushes Wind Power
Posted by: admin
TechnologyOil Maverick Pushes Wind PowerOil Maverick Pushes Wind PowerThe ociated PressTexas oilman T. Boone Pickens opened an advertising campaign Tuesday in an attempt to bring more focus to solving the nation’s energy crisis. (July 8)With the nation struggling under high energy costs, people are looking for answers to the dilemma, especially with the presidential election drawing near. Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama are offering different solutions. McCain has called for the construction of at least 45 new nuclear plants, while Obama considers nuclear energy as part of a broader approach, which would emphasize renewable fuels. But oil maverick oilman T. Boone Pickens believes he has the solution. And it has nothing to do with oil. [Notes:SOT: Boone Pickens]AN OILFIELD DECLINES AND THEN DEPLETES. BUT THE WIND THAT’S NOT THE CASEUnder Pickens proposal - called the Pickens Plan - thousands of wind turbines would be constructed across the nation’s wind belt, from Texas to the north.Pickens has already placed a $2 billion bet on his plan, and intends to spend more as the project progresses. When completed, Pickens says the project will generate enough power to meet 20 percent of the nation’s electricity needs. [Notes:SOT Pickens:]IF MY IDEA WORKS THERE’S ONLY WINNERS. ONE LOSER: FOREIGN OIL.Power from the project will begin coming on line in early 2011. ___ ___, The ociated Press.(****END****)

Is Solar Power The New Oil?
Posted by: admin
Please rate, comment and subscribe! Many manufacturers are going into production or creating concepts with integrated solar panels in the roof or body of the car. Although under normal use this will not provide all the vehicles power it will make a significant contribution when you factor in the decreasing cost of solar panels and the rising cost of fossil fuel. Here are some examples: Solar Toyota Prius: http://www.solarelectricalvehicles.com/ Fisker Karma: http://www.fiskerautomotive.com …

UFO hits wind turbine

Published: Today
A WIND turbine stood wrecked yesterday with one of its giant 65ft blades torn off — after it was hit by a UFO.
Locals were woken by the 4am smash after strange lights were spotted streaking towards the 290ft-tall generator on a wind farm.
Baffled power chiefs said of the smash in Conisholme, Lincs: We have a team investigating. There was no trace of the missing blade. A UFO expert said: We are very excited.
Witness … Lesley Whittingham, 71
A woman motorist told how she saw a UFO zoom towards the wind farm and strike the 290ft turbine.
Dorothy Willows — who lives half a mile from the scene of the hit-and-run — was in her car when strange lights loomed in the evening sky.
She was among dozens who spotted the mysterious flashing orangey-yellow spheres over Lincolnshire — where the turbine was left wrecked.
Dorothy, of Louth, said: The lights were moving across the sky towards the wind farm.
“Then I saw a low flying object. It was skimming across the sky towards the turbines.
Hours later there was an almighty smash.
Dorothy said: My husband Stephen was woken at 4am by the bang.
Afterwards there was no trace of one of the turbines three huge 65ft blades — ripped off in the collision.
Another was left twisted and useless. Other locals told how the lights looked like balls of flames. Lesley Whittingham, 71, even managed to photograph it — and said: It looked like a giant explosion in the air.
John Harrison, another witness, described how he looked out of his landing window and saw a massive ball of light with tentacles going right down to the ground over the wind farm. He said: It was huge. With the tentacles it looked just like an octopus.
The object that struck the turbine at Conisholme near Louth on Sunday dodged others surrounding it — and last night experts had no explanation for what it was. There were NO reports of any aircraft collisions.
Council health and safety officials said even the strongest gale was unlikely to be responsible.
The damage was described by the Health and Safety Executive as a unique incident.
Wind farm company Ecotricity admitted: We dont know what caused the problem. We are investigating.

Space Based Solar Power - Alternative Energy Solution
Posted by: admin
FACT: There aren’t enough resources on this planet to sustain continued human growth and increasing quality of life.
FACT: If we want to avoid catastrophic war, suffering, and global shortages of energy, we need to start looking to space seriously for solutions.
Space Based Solar Power is the first step.
