China is quickly moving ahead with wind, solar, and nuclear power plants to satiate the growing demand for power. The New York Times reports that the Chinese government is increasing its figures for installed wind power projects and will likely have installed 30,000MW of wind power projects by next year, which was the target for 2020. That said, the Chinese aren't going to stop building coal

Enron and Waxman-Markey: Response to Joe Romm — MasterResource I was advised to let Romm’s inflammatory and inaccurate post go unanswered. But this response adds to the historical record by showing: 1. The true nature of Enron as a political capitalism company; 2. Enron as the business driver of CO2 cap-and-trade and renewable-energy mandates, and thus the corporate father of Waxman-Markey;...

Bamboo as a cash crop ? Sounds fine to me, but I doubt that environmentalists will support it, because at root they're anti-capitalists using environmentalism as leverage to achieve a centrally controlled economy. They despise profits more than pollution. They will deny this, but if you examine their positions on most issues opposition to anybody making money is a common thread. Why, for example, don't...

When we talk about wind energy, we don’t specifically mention ocean winds. But global satellite maps from NASA promise a new hope. Nearly a decade of data from NASA’s QuikSCAT satellite gives us hope that we can harness ocean’s wind for energy generation. These maps can help in locating and planning the offshore wind farms for producing electric energy. QuikSCAT , was placed in the orbit in 1999. It...
