Solar energy: Europe’s first commercial solar plant
Europe’s first commercial solar plant, situated in Sanlucar la Mayor, 25 km west of Seville, was inaugurated in March 2008. The 11 MW plant, known as PS10, is the first tower technology solar thermoelectric power plant used for commercial purposes in the world and generates electricity to power 6000 homes. 624 heliostats, or movable mirrors, concentrate solar radiation onto a receiver located on a 115 m high tower. Water is turned into steam which is then blasted into turbines to generate power. The PS10 plant is part of the Sanlucar la Mayor Solar Platform which, when completed in 2013, will provide enough energy to power some 180000 homes, or a city the size of Seville. Video Rating: 4 / 5
Ambassador Energy Helps Western Riverside County Power Up Through a New Solar Finance Opportunity with Property Assessed Clean Energy [PACE]
Murrieta, CA (PRWEB) May 08, 2012 We have been waiting for this program for a very long time and are thrilled that it is finally here, said Kelly Smith, president of Ambassador Energy in Murrieta. This PACE program is the largest of its kind in the nation, offering customers the opportunity to add solar to their homes and businesses in a very affordable and accessible way. All the property owners need is 10% equity in their properties and to be current on their mortgage and property taxes. If they meet those qualifications, they may use the funds money to buy solar, and the cost is amortized for as long as 20 years on their property tax bill, paid twice per year. It works out beautifully, as a typical scenario will reflect a lower cost for the combined utility and property tax bill, so they are cash positive immediately with no money out of pocket. Executives at Ambassador Energy learned of WRCOGs program two years ago, when the program was originally slated to launch. A hiccup occurred at that time, when Fannie Mae got involved on a national level to halt PACE funding. Since that time, Smith continued, we have been waiting to deploy a local sales team. Now that the program is back on track, we have built a team of professionals to share the news with the affected communities from Norco to Banning and down to Temecula. The response has been tremendous. Ambassador Energys CEO, Steve Fulgham, said, The fund was the impetus to our putting together a local sales force. We are happy to be putting people to work by bringing in sales folks from slower industry segments, such as real estate and construction, and thoroughly training them in our educational facility in Murrieta. We not only train them in solar technology and sales, but we have them actually build a solar system as a part of the curriculum. We teach them the right way to sell solar, which includes giving customers options and education. Since part of what we do at Ambassador Energy is training other solar companies, training our own sales people has been a natural. And it is putting people to work, which is a win/win. I am grateful for the PACE program for giving us the ability to do that. About Ambassador Energy Ambassador Energy [AE] has a three-pronged business model, including Ambassador Energy College Solar Training, the Ambassador Energy Agency Program and Ambassador Energy, an EPC contractor. On staff are NABCEP Certified PV Installers, NABCEP Certified PV Technical Sales professionals [Fulgham/Kelso] and multiple NABCEP EL graduates. AE Agencies are nationwide.

The False Promise of Green Energy (Prof. Andrew Morriss – Acton Institute)
Acton Lecture Series (April 26, 2012) – Green energy advocates claim that transforming America to an economy based on wind, solar, and biofuels will produce jobs for Americans, benefits for the environment, and restore American industry. Prof. Andrew Morriss, co-author of The False Promise of Green Energy, shows that these claims are based on unrealistic assumptions, poorly thought out models, and bad data. Rather than leading us to an eco-utopia, he argues that current green energy programs are crony capitalism that impoverishes American consumers and destroys American jobs. Andrew Morriss is the author or coauthor of more than 60 book chapters, scholarly articles, and books. He is affiliated with a number of think tanks doing public policy work, including the Property & Environment Research Center, the Regulatory Studies Center at George Washington University, the Institute for Energy Research, and the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Morriss earned an AB from Princeton University and a JD, as well as an MA in Public Affairs, from the University of Texas at Austin. He received a Ph.D. in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After law school, Morriss clerked for US District Judge Barefoot Sanders in the Northern District of Texas.

Promotion Of Green Energy
by US Department of Labor National Standardization Technical Committee appliances clean utensils points Technical Committee Secretary Lu Jian Green Energy Home Appliances Refers to the design, manufacture, use and recycling process to consider the low consumption of resources and the environment on human health and damage to small appliances. Resource consumption of green energy-saving appliances and the environment on human health and the extent of damage at different times of the requirements are different, but the idea of green energy-saving appliances is the same. Green energy-saving appliances is a permanent issue, everyone has a responsibility and obligation to promote. Present, the technological level of China’s home appliance industry to the EU WEEE ( Electronic Electric The waste product instructions), RoHS (restriction in the electrical and electronic equipment on the use of certain harmful ingredients instructions), EUP (with Energy Product eco-design Framework Directive) 3 directive is no problem. In fact, their standard household appliances on the environment and the use of the safety of personnel is a requirement, but these three commands added to a number of indicators, or to raise a number of values of certain indicators. Therefore, China to promote green energy-saving appliances home appliance industry is not a technical issue, but the confidence and resolve. Our first priority is the firm belief, the determination to do the green energy-saving appliances can not be shaken. While green energy-saving appliances in the design, manufacture, recovery of the road will face many new difficulties, but difficulties and problems can be any concept of consciousness and technology through innovative solutions and can not hesitate. Second, the promotion of green energy-saving appliances is not only manufacturing the issue, it relates to everyone in society, we have the determination, conviction, and even existing home appliances, as long as the same can be achieved by the rational use of energy saving, reduction consumption results. On the contrary, even the green energy-saving appliances, if they are unreasonable use, simply be thrown away, would lose the value of its own energy. Therefore, we should strengthen our convictions and from now on, I start from. “Two sessions” on behalf of the resident removed a one-time equipment, the General Assembly to shorten the meeting time is a good example. Finally, the promotion of green energy-saving appliances is a long term, should be gradual, not to be “across the board, swarm” like to promote, impulsive, anxious, and thought one step is not desirable. Imagine all the current people’s homes are replaced with energy-efficient electrical products, at least 4 years to 5 years. Therefore, promotion of green energy-saving appliances should be able to realistically be carried out from ourselves and from every day life to start. For example, turning off lights every day to hand off the tap Air conditioning Temperature of reasonable adjustments, less open day car, in the time and place designated place abandoned household appliances. Everyone must have a saving families, saving the community, the idea of saving society. Promotion of green energy-saving appliances in the process must start from a little bit, do not do costly “achievement projects” flashy “image project” one step “ideal project.” Green energy-saving appliances is a philosophy, is always our goal. Promotion of green energy-saving appliances should be able to realistically implement, step by step to advance. In this issue appliance industry, there is no reason to become arrogant, complacent. The challenge of economic globalization, especially in the international Financial Test before the crisis, if our spiritual slack to make progress, it will miss opportunities. Green energy-saving appliances in the industry pushed for many years, but progress is not satisfactory. These events reflect the industry’s overall awareness, sense of urgency, responsibility is not enough, mainly for the management of relaxation, not enough solid work. Therefore, the promotion of green energy-saving appliances to establish a sense of responsibility and urgency, should be continued.
