Concentrating Solar Thermal Power- a first generation technology, but now with the ability to concentrate solar power using parabolic trough plates unrestricted by scarce material availability, with rare earths and silvered mirrors replaced by common commodities such as stainless steel, aluminium and glass.

The Director of the Future Planet Research Centre- David
Hunter Tow predicts that recent advances in solar technology may be sufficient
to shift the balance from fossil to renewable energy just in time to save
humanity from a likely heat death.
Solar technology is about to take off and may finally be on
the threshold of displacing a large chunk of fossil fuel dependancy.
This is very good news indeed- for humans, life on Earth and
possibly the Universe at large if we are the only super intelligent life form
that calls it home.

And for that reason, as drought conditions are prevalent in more than 60 percent of the counties in the United States, everybody should take a deep breath and consider whether fracking is such a good idea for our area. We didn't get much snow this past ...

Energy is preferred by Republicans-who knew?

Earlier in the week, a Romney campaign spokesman said that Mr. Romney would end the subsidy. “Mitt Romney believes it is time for a new approach to ensure our nation’s energy independence,” the spokesman, Shawn McCoy, told The Des Moines Register. “He will allow the wind credit to expire, end the stimulus boondoggles and create a level playing field on which all sources of energy can compete on their merits.”

However, red states generally disagree. Wind turbines are
more common in Republican legislative districts than Democratic ones, with over
81 percent of the nation's installed wind capacity in Congressional districts
represented by Republicans, according to the American Wind Energy Association.
