EIA - Press Releases - EIA Assesses Impact of Economic Growth, Oil Prices, and Future Policies on Projected Energy Trends - 0 views

  • The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) today released the complete version of the Annual Energy Outlook 2010 (AEO2010), which includes 38 sensitivity cases that show how different assumptions regarding market and policy drivers affect the Reference case projections that EIA previously released in December, 2009. In addition to considering alternative scenarios for oil prices, economic growth, and the uptake of more energy-efficient technologies, the AEO2010 includes cases that examine the impact of changes in selected policies, such as the extension of existing policies that are currently scheduled to sU.S.t as well as the sensitivity of natural gas shale production to variations in drilling activity and the size of the resource base.

Energy and Environment Monitor: Summary of EPRI Prism/MERGE 2009 Analyses Report: EPRI Presents One Roadmap to 2050 for Reduced-Carbon Electricity Generation - 0 views

  • In 2007, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) released its first “Prism” model and Model for Estimating the Regional and Global Effects of Greenhouse Gas Reductions (MERGE). 
  • EPRI updated both analyses in 2009 to reflect economic and technological changes that have the potential to affect projected emissions and the technologies to address them. 
  • The Prism analysis projects that by 2030, 60% of the total U.S. generation mix would consist of low- or non-CO2 emitting generation

Transmission Needs with Wind Power Booming - 0 views

  •  
    NERC is the official electric reliability organization for the United States, and its latest 10-year outlook report, the 2008 Long-Term Reliability Assessment, notes that transmission lines must be sited, permitted, and built faster in the future to maintain the reliability of the U.S. power grid.

Joel Makower: Two Steps Forward: The Latest Reports: Solar Utilities, Carbon Offsets, and the Emperor's New Clothes - 0 views

  • My colleagues at Clean Edge have just released the Utility Solar Assessment (USA) Study, making the case that solar power has the potential to reach cost parity with retail-electricity rates in most regions of the U.S. in less than a decade — but only if electric utilities step up to the plate.

Energy Roundup - WSJ.com : Think Globally, Act Locally? - 0 views

  • But fewer than 20 countries account for more than 80% of global GHG emissions; they can be plunked down at a single conference table, as long as it’s at tropical resort. That’s the idea behind the Hawaii Conference. Similarly, California and the 16 states who planned to copy its legislation together make up about half the U.S. population.

Edison Electric Institute promotes energy efficiency: Consumer Reports Home & Garden Blog - 0 views

  • So on July 10, the Edison Electric Institute hosted a lunch at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. A six-member panel of EEI representatives addressed journalists to discuss "the effort underway to transform the role that energy efficiency plays within the electric power sector," according to the event program.
  • The EEI is the association of U.S. shareholder-owned electric companies, and its agenda is to ensure that its members turn a profit.

Solar Planes, Trains and Automobiles | celsias° - 0 views

  • And that's not all. We reported recently on this site on the solar powered car making its way around the world. We also covered the concept of solar roads to capture usable energy. We even reported on a sail boat powered with a solar sail. Now the BBC reports   that the U.S. military has held a test run in Arizona of a UK-made solar plane, the Zephyr-6. The plane flew for more than three days, running at night on solar charged batteries. The more than 83 hour non-stop flight was the longest of any unmanned aircraft.
  •  
    Does it make sense to solar power everything? It leads to many small, and relatively expensive installations. Wouldn't it be more effective to go for a battery & plug-in concept where possible. One would loose the inflight recharging of the solar airplane, but for everything else, the plug-in concept probably provides benefits.
  •  
    In addition, the lifetime of cars, for example, is much lower than the one for solar panels. Why integrate both?
  •  
    Yes, I agree that there is too much emphasis on the novel in attempt to solve climate change. Creating technology for the designer label market to sell goods to the rich who want to tell their friends they are green. The same investment in a solid developed renewable method could yield a hundred times the reduction of carbon or more...

Japan Launches First Satellite to Monitor Greenhouse Gases Worldwide : Sustainablog - 0 views

  • The Japanese government has launched the first satellite to monitor greenhouse gases worldwide. This tool will help scientists better ascertain where global warming emissions are coming from and how much is being absorbed by the oceans and forests. The U.S. will launch a similar orbiter next month.
