The Goodspeed Update - Rob Goodspeed’s blog
Over 1,000 D.C. homes are now equipped with smart electrical meters that record their hourly electricity usage, encourage conservation during peak times, and even automatically turn down the heat or A/C when electricity is most expensive.

maribo: Canadian government hiding climate change reports
The Conservative government is developing a rather bad habit of quietly burying government reports about the impacts of climate change. Remember the huge “From Impacts to Adaptation” study put together last year by experts across Canada at the behest of Natural Resources Canada? You don’t? Oh right, there was no press release, and it was only made available published in a dark corner of the NRCAN web maze.

GM partners with utilities to advance plug-in hybrids | Green Tech - CNET News.com
General Motors is teaming up with 30 utilities in 37 states and with the Electric Power Research Institute to develop a charging infrastructure for electric cars. They aim to fine-tune the technology, safety, and customer experience for car-charging stations by 2010, when the Chevy Volt is due to be produced.

Cquestrate : The Idea
When you put lime into seawater it absorbs almost twice as much carbon dioxide as is produced by the breaking down of the limestone in the first place. This has the effect of reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It also helps to prevent ocean acidification, another problem caused by the increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. If done on a large enough scale it would be possible to reduce carbon dioxide levels back to what they were before the Industrial Revolution.

Saharan sun could power European supergrid | Environment | guardian.co.uk
Harnessing the power of the desert sun is at the centre of ambitious scheme to build a €45bn (£35.7bn) European supergrid that would allow countries across the continent to share electricity from abundant green sources such as wind energy in the UK and Denmark and geothermal energy from Iceland and Italy.

Energy Demand - Just because we want it, doesn't mean we are going to get it!
In the past the market has been able to match demand by increasing production. The whole point about peak oil is that production cannot be further increased and therefore there may be a demand there, but it cannot necessarily be met.

E-bikes and green homes the way forward
the Chinese electric bike market has expanded more rapidly than any other mode in the last five to seven years with annual electric bike (e-bike) sales in China growing from 40,000 in 1998 to 10 million in 2005. This rapid transition from human-powered bicycles and gasoline-powered scooters to an all-electric vehicle is unique to China.

Getting a (Firm) Grip on Renewables
Over the past year, Senior Consultant Lena Hansen has led a series of research projects to rethink the implications of wind and solar’s variability. In the process, she and her colleagues are re-evaluating the economics of putting more renewable energy on the grid. The key, according to Hansen, is for utility managers to think of all their wind and solar installations as a portfolio. “No person would invest in just one stock,” says Hansen. In the financial markets, most people forego the huge risks and potentially large gains of owning shares of one company for the reduced risk and smaller rates of return of owning shares in multiple companies, she explains. Hansen argues that the same should go for utilities investing in wind and solar.

The Smart Garage (V2G*): Guiding the Next Big Energy Solution
Smart Garage is an idea, a sweeping concept, about the seamless integration of vehicles, homes, and offices via the electric power grid. The components of the system would share power and share it in such a way that consumers would make better choices about the energy they use, they would have access to more reliable, cheaper, and cleaner energy, and they would need less of it.

Why China's Olympian Efforts to Clean Up Beijing's Air Won't Work | Wired Science from Wired.com
Beijing's environmental authorities have instituted a bewildering array of measures in hopes of cutting pollution ahead of the 2008 Olympics. They're instituting traffic bans, shutting down factories and unleashing cloud seeders as part of the city's $17 billion anti-pollution regimen. And yet, at least in terms of air quality, one veteran atmospheric chemist says that China's outsized efforts will have little to no impact on the air. Why? Because Beijing's worst air-quality days are often not the result of human activities, but meteorological phenomena -- namely, the lack of cold fronts pushing across the city from Mongolia.

Global PV Solar Demand Report
The worldwide market for solar (PV) energy and the PV industry itself have grown substantially in 2007 and early 2008. However, growth in the production of solar panels appears to have outpaced growth in the demand side of the market. This could lead to an oversupply situation.
