| White House orders more energy-savings contracts |
|
August 08, 2007
The White House is pressing agencies to team up with industry to meet aggressive energy-savings goals.
The challenge for agencies is to make energy-efficient improvements when they don’t have the budgets to pay for such investments. The Bush administration is directing them to substantially increase their use of contracts that allow for private financing of such upgrades.

| Burning Biomass with Fossil Fuels |
|
August 22, 2007
Cutting greenhouse gas emission need not be distant dream or expensive. Advocates of co-firing bio-mass with coal or natural gas say that it is an effective way for utilities to begin now to reduce their carbon footprints.
Biomass consists of any fuel produced from organic matter. That includes forest waste, agricultural waste, organic waste and municipal waste. Biomass produced from wood chips, for example, can be mixed with certain types of coal before the new compound is combusted. It can all be accomplished, say experts, without having to change the fuel-firing system. |

| First of 32 Wind Turbines Installed In Huron County |
|
Thursday, August 16, 2007
ELKTON - Workers erected the Thumb area's first commercial wind turbine Wednesday, and heads were spinning even if the structure's blades weren't yet turning to make electricity.
Motorists cruised along Richardson and Gagetown roads in Huron County's Oliver Township, rubbernecking at a turbine where blades reach a peak height of 396 feet above the ground.
''The people were lined up in cars all along Richardson Road as far as I could see to the east, and they were parked in the fields, parked all over the place,'' said Adolph Einhardt, 86, who watched iron workers and crane operators raise the first turbine on Helen Young's farm. |

| Teaming Up to Advance Energy Research |
|
August 20, 2007
The power industry is risk averse. It usually has to partner with the public sector that provides funding and technical expertise. Fruitful partnerships are the result of industry's business sense combined with government's willingness to allow researchers to reach beyond their limits to innovate.
In the area of coal, the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is the go-to guy. The cornerstone of all NETL's undertakings right now is the FutureGen, which would be the most advanced coal-fired power plant ever invented. The agency's main ally is the FutureGen Alliance that is made up of major utilities made up of major utilities and coal companies. Various contractors, meanwhile, are assigned to bits and pieces of the deal. |
