Here’s a little story about a speech given by Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger last Sunday that you might have missed. Given who he is and what he's saying this should have been a big news story but I heard about it 4 days later on a English news site The Independent.
By Guy Adams, The Foreign Desk, Thursday, 30 September 2010 at 7:45 am
"It’s never been easy to take Arnold Schwarzenegger’s chitchat about climate change all that seriously, given his ownership of Hummers (see token archive pic, left) and habit of commuting from Los Angeles to Sacramento, via private jet, to carry out duties as Governor of California.
Yet on Sunday night, in the twilight of what many consider a wasted eight years in office, the Governator delivered perhaps the most memorable, and certainly one of the most heartfelt speeches of this or any other recent mid-term election season.
Speaking at a conference in Silicon Valley, he described in detail the underhand efforts of two Texan oil companies to derail his efforts to reduce California’s ludicrous carbon footprint, which despite the virtually endless local supply of clean and free sunlight and wind, is amongst the highest per capita in the world.
The two firms, Valero and Tesoro, have spent tens of millions of dollars on a misleading PR campaign to persuade the Califorrnian electorate to vote on election day in November to effectively abolish a green energy bill."

Scotland should produce enough renewable electricity to meet all its power demand by 2025, First Minister Alex Salmond said Tuesday.
"Scotland has unrivalled green energy resources and our new national target to generate 80 percent of electricity needs from renewables by 2020 will be exceeded by delivering current plans for wind, wave and tidal generation," Salmond said.
"I'm confident that by 2025 we will produce at least 100 percent of our electricity needs from renewables alone, and together with other sources it will enable us to become a net exporter of clean, green energy," he said a statement ahead of a renewable energy investment conference.
Last week, Scotland raised its 2020 renewable electricity target from 50 to 80 percent of total demand, much of which is expected to be met by offshore wind despite costs soaring over the last few years.
The sparsely-populated part of northern Britain is expected to export much of the low-carbon electricity produced by its existing onshore wind farms and planned offshore projects south to England, which has lagged behind most of Europe in green energy growth.
The Scottish government has ruled out building new nuclear plants north of the border with England, while the British government in London hopes new reactors will run alongside wind and marine energy technologies.Scotland should produce enough renewable electricity to meet all its power demand by... more

Tues night Toronto Greenhouse hosted a debate between the Toronto mayoral candidates. The event was held at the National Club and moderated by the Toronto Star’s Business Columnist, Tyler Hamilton. For those who were unable to attend – or who have not read the papers this morning – former Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, George Smitherman, took every opportunity he could to slam mayoral candidate and current city councilor, Rob Ford. By all accounts Smitherman simply ran circles around Ford, jeeringly labeling Ford, “the numbers guy” and “Rob ‘King Coal’ Ford – in reference to Ford’s conservative ideals and plan for putting the $4-billion dollars of provincial funding for a light rail transit network and building subways instead.
Smitherman’s constant hounding aside, Ford’s most unpopular answer came in response to Green Energy:
“Green energy — it’s just too expensive, ladies and gentlemen. We’d love to use it but it’s far too expensive right now.”
Ford’s response was met with a chorus of boos from the crowd.
However disagreeable Ford’s statement was to the crowd, we have to wonder… is he right? Does he know something they don’t? Or is it possible that a crowd of citizens has obtained undisclosed information that Ford and the rest of the people on the front lines in the energy industry aren’t privy to?
After seeing articles like this, from the Canadian Free Press (CFP), and after speaking to so many readers and citizens of Ontario, I know for a fact that there are some misconceptions when it comes to “Green Energy”. Particularly wind.
As the CFP article states, wind energy truly is this seasons hottest trend. From Paris to Milan, Copenhagen to Toronto, governments are going gaga for wind.
I’ve spoken about this before on Enviralment but as is often the case, the hype around wind tends to cause politicians and consumers to overlook the fine print. Specifically when it comes to capacity and output.
Capacity is a funny word in the energy industry. It’s a word that has somehow lost its meaning over the years of substantial technological advancements in renewable energy and the modern rise of the smart grid. Not a cliche or buzzword, but it’s commonly attached to lavish claims and expectations within the argot of political figures and renewable proponents.

This video is about an organic garden started by history teacher Theo Hartman at Hayward High School. Starting as a Saturday volunteer program, it has evolved into an ecology center with a heavy focus on education, providing hands-on lessons on composting, landscaping, irrigation, and nutrition for the students. A 20k grant from PG&E brought a solar collector to the garden providing electricity to areas on campus. With the help of an additional $250k grant Hayward High School is quickly becoming a green academy in the center of an urban community. For Hartman and his students, going green is not just a catchy phrase, but words to live by.
This video was created as an educational tool for ESL teachers by Catherine Hartman, a teacher at San Francisco City College. Accompanying the video, teachers are provided with a lesson plan for their students. This project was created in collaboration with City College and KQED.

all for around $4,000. Ashton, with the help of his father, equipped the Beetle with nine golf cart batteries, used to power a single motorized shaft which can propel the car for nearly 50 miles on less than 10 cents worth of electricity.
The converted Beetle is no slow-poke either, able to reach speeds upwards of 45 miles per hour. As the car gets more time on the road, an onboard computer will gather performance data as well.
'I think any vehicle can be converted to electricity. It is so simple to get one I don't know why more people don't own one. It doesn't have to be a Bug, it can be any light weight vehicle: a Porsche, a Toyota or a Honda. It would be a great neighborhood or commuter vehicle and would save a fortune on gas"

-RYAN REYNOLDS DELIVERS THE LANTERN CORPS OATH
----Warner Brothers has released the first four official posters for Green Lantern, which look a hell of a lot better than the EW scans. This is also the first look at Sinestro (Mark Strong) and Hector Hammond (Peter Saaaarsgaaaard). Which is really just an excuse to post the two videos below, taken at the San Diego Comic-Con. An adorable little Green Lantern fan (who hopefully steered clear of the free candy) asked Ryan Reynolds, “What does it feel like to say the Green Lantern oath.” Reynolds answered “Like warm apple pie, man” by delivering the oath on the spot, and I instinctively threw a bra at the screen. I wasn’t wearing one, but I found one anyway. He’s that good.

Great way to explore the back country without destroying it first....
Many regions are converting old abandoned railroad lines into paved road to hike and bike. The trails that are convenient to cities make excellent afternoon trips for your family and are perfect for this use (see rails for trails). Other railroad lines explore much of the American wilderness. Rather then come in and destroy part of the ecosystem to build a trail, why not equip the bike for the rail. As for the expense, it should be cheaper to purchase/make a few rail bikes than to tear out the old railroad tracks and build a road to walk, hike or bike on.
So America, lets save some trails for the railbikes.

BP Biofuels North America will acquire Verenium Corporation’s cellulosic biofuels business for $98.3 million, a much needed boost for the latter from the energy company which is still fighting a disaster at the Gulf of Mexico.
With the acquisition, BP plans to accelerate the commercialization of cellulosic biofuels, which are derived from the nonedible parts of plants. BP recently indicated that it plans to sell $10 billion worth of assets in 2011, but will keep its clean energy business intact.
BP will acquire a number of facilities through the agreement, owning Verenium’s facilities in Jennings, Louisiana, which contains a pilot plant and a demonstration facility. BP will also acquire the company’s research and development facilities in San Diego, California.
The energy giant’s biofuel division will also obtain all of Verenium’s cellulosic enzyme and biofuels technology. As part of the agreement, BP is allowed to retain Verenium’s scientists and technologists for its continuing biofuels development program.
“By acquiring Verenium's cellulosic biofuels technologies, BP Biofuels should be well placed to accelerate the delivery of low cost, low carbon, sustainable biofuels at scale,” said Philip New, chief executive officer of BP Biofuels.
Verenium operates in two segments – biofuels and specialty enzymes used for the alternative fuels, specialty industrial processes and animal nutrition and health markets.
The company has reportedly been losing money for years, its share price having already dropped by 29.93 percent year-to-date to $3.16.
Verenium will retain ownership of its commercial enzyme business. The company said selling its biofuel business to BP is a strategic move.
Aside from direct payment from BP, Verenium will get $10.8 million in cash once it hands over its lease for the San Diego facility. Verenium will also be granted access to specific biofuel products developed by the oil giant through the technology it will acquire from it.
BP will also stand as the sole investor for both Vercipia Biofuels and Galaxy Biofuels, venture firms it formed with Verenium. BP will completely own and manage the two firms.
“As a result of this transaction, Verenium will have the resources to grow our commercial enzyme business while maintaining strategic access to the emerging cellulosic ethanol market in a manner that better fits our resources," said Carlos Riva, Verenium chief executive.BP Biofuels North America will acquire Verenium Corporation’s cellulosic... more

"Although the new gadget is technically a small generator, it is designed to fit inside a battery-shaped case. Inside the case is the generator as well as a capacitor that has a capacitance of about 500 mF. The company has developed prototypes in which the generator and capacitor both fit into a single battery-size case, and prototypes in which the generator and capacitor each have their own battery-size case, in which the capacitor has a greater voltage.
To recharge the unit, the entire device containing it (such as a flashlight or remote control) can be shaken. The company hopes that the new approach to recharging could cut down on the amount of batteries used in low-power electronics.
"The new generator will semipermanently eliminate the need to replace batteries and contribute to reducing the amount of wastes," Brother Industries said.
The company will exhibit the vibration-powered generating battery for the first time at the Techno-Frontier 2010 exhibition later this week in Tokyo. The demonstration will include using the generator in an LED flashlight, a TV remote control, and a remote control for lighting equipment. "

China overtakes the US in renewable energy investment – but hey, we might have stopped the bleeding in the Gulf!
Today the big news is that BP thinks it has finally managed to cap the well that has spewed as much as 184 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Now, of course, we’re all waiting anxiously to see if the cap BP placed over the well will be able to contain the oil, or if it will spring a new leak and begin gushing even more oil into the Gulf.
It’s great that BP might at last have stopped the bleeding. But compare this to another less-noted bit of news: It was announced today that China has officially overtaken the USA as the world’s leading investor in renewable energy.
See more on that story here:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2010/mar/25/china-renewable-energy-pew-research
Nothing could paint a starker picture of the state of energy in America. Fossil fuels companies and their lobbyists have a stranglehold on our energy policy, and we’ve failed miserably to move off of their dirty product even as reckless companies like BP and Massey Energy have destroyed lives and livelihoods across the nation in their pursuit of profits. We’re reduced to hoping a thoroughly negligent oil company has finally managed to contain a disastrous leak — which nonetheless has already done untold damage that will affect the Gulf region for decades — as our global competitors quietly pass us by in ushering in the coming clean energy revolution.
We’re falling behind. Renewables are the way of the future, no matter how many fossil fuels lobbyists there are trying to convince our elected officials otherwise. China knows this, and is aggressively pursuing renewable energy.
When will we wise up?

Nuclear Costs What's new - June 29, 2010

Re: Updates on nuclear power industry’s money grabs at taxpayers’ pocketbooks
I wrote HYPERLINK "http://beyondnuclear.squarespace.com/storage/subsidies_outline_may09-1.pdf" a big picture update on nuclear power subsidies in May 2009, giving a brief overview of the first 50 years of atomic power subsidies -- but a lot has happened since that I’ll try to summarize comprehensively below in order to update you.
As you know, we’ve dodged many a radioactive bullet over the past few years – with your involvement and grassroots anti-nuke activism making a big difference against proposed nuclear power subsidies.
Since 2005, despite repeated attempts by industry to stick it to taxpayers, so far the only nuclear power loan guarantees that have gotten through are $22.5 billion worth altogether. In the summer of 2007, it was reported that the nuclear power industry was seeking $50 billion in nuclear loan guarantees on a congressional energy bill. Despite having staved off nuclear power loan guarantees in the 2007 energy bill, just a few days later – and literally the day before Christmas Eve, Dec. 23, 2007, when most Americans were preoccupied with the holidays -- industry lobbyists and their friends in Congress merely shifted the provision onto the 2007 Omnibus Appropriations Bill as a rider and George W. Bush signed it into law. Thus, $18.5 billion for new reactors and another $2 billion for new uranium enrichment facilities were snuck into law, without most Americans knowing about it, despite all of our best efforts to alert the citizenry and the media.
An additional $2 billion for new uranium enrichment facilities, long rumored to be in the works, and just consummated a few weeks ago by the US Dept. of Energy, was simply transferred from “un-committed” energy loan guarantee program funds to the already long- and heavily-subsidized nuclear power industry. Thus, renewables and efficiency have lost out yet again, due to nuclear power stealing away the funding from them.
Despite that initial set back and that more recent one, our “temporary victories” have been numerous, often thanks to intense grassroots efforts.
In June 2008, Sens. Lieberman (I-CT) and Warner (R-VA) proposed a “climate” bill that would have heavily subsidized nuclear power, as well as weakened nuclear safety regulations. Fortunately for us, the Senate Republicans decided to filibuster the bill, because, they say, they don’t believe in the climate crisis. Fortunately, I say, because the first and foremost Republican amendment to the Lieberman-Warner “climate” bill was HYPERLINK "http://www.beyondnuclear.org/storage/lieberman_warner_carper_pro_nuke_amendment_..."; a mile long wish list to benefit the nuclear power industry. HYPERLINK "http://www.ucsusa.org/news/press_release/environment-groups-to-senate-0121.html" An environmental coalition statement expressing unity by the national environmental movement against nuclear power subsidies on climate legislation helped generate enough pressure to convince Senate leaders that they weren’t going to easily get away with such nuclear power giveaway that day! The bill died a sudden and unceremonious death. Of course, wasting precious time attempting to promote the false solution of nuclear power is dangerous and tragic in light of the worsening climate crisis.
Another near miss came in late summer/early fall of 2008, when a bipartisan “Gang of 10” grew into a “Gang of 20” U.S. Senators, co-sponsoring an “All of the Above” energy bill, which paralleled the “drill baby drill” rhetoric chanted by Sarah Palin at that year’s Republican National Convention. That bill promoted “clean coal,” offshore oil drilling, and most especially nuclear power. The bottom then fell out of the U.S. economy, and the subject was immediately changed away from this dangerous bill, sparing us.
Then environmentalists and taxpayer groups scored a hard won and major victory when grassroots pressure proved enough to fend off $50 billion in nuclear power loan guarantees attached to the economic stimulus bill in February 2009. The provision had been snuck onto the Senate version of the bill by Appropriations Committee Member Robert Bennett, Republican of Utah, but Democratic Appropriations Committee Chairman Daniel Inouye (D-HI) and Democratic Appropriations Subcommittee for Energy and Water Chairman Byron Dorgan (D-ND), let Sen. Bennett get away with it. Again, through intense grassroots pressure, as well as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and House Appropriations Committee Chairman Dave Obey’s (D-WI) position that nuclear power is not stimulative (jobs would not be created within two years), the $50 billion in additional nuclear power loan guarantees was stricken from the final economic stimulus bill that emerged from the House-Senate conference committee and became law.
That’s a brief summary of a few of our hard won victories of the past couple years.
Currently, we face many threats of expanded nuclear power subsidies as well as nuclear safety regulation rollbacks…
PRESIDENT OBAMA’S RECENT ACTIONS
President Obama declared nuclear power clean and safe in his Jan. 2010 State of the Union speech, and called for its expansion. This was a departure from his presidential campaign rhetoric of 2007 and 2008, when he said nuclear power had to be made safe and clean.
And, despite his campaign rhetoric that any nuclear power expansion would have to happen without subsidies paid for by taxpayers, just a few days later, on Feb. 1, 2010, when the Dept. of Energy rolled out its Fiscal Year 2011 budget request, the Obama administration’s support for nuclear power was quantified: a tripling of the new atomic reactor loan guarantee funding was being requested, increasing the funding levels from $18.5 billion to $54.5 billion, a $36 billion expansion. This revealed that the Obama administration is willing to allow 5 to 7 new atomic reactor license applications to move forward, with taxpayers bearing most of the financial risks. This was, of course, an incredible request, since HYPERLINK "http://www.psr.org/nuclear-bailout/resources/loan-guarantee-no-beauty.pdf" even the “lead” new reactor proposals in the U.S. are plagued with technical design flaws, as well as cost overruns and schedule delays!
On Feb. 26, President Obama made crystal clear just how supportive of nuclear power loan guarantees he is, by HYPERLINK "http://www.beyondnuclear.org/nuclear-loan-guarantees/2010/2/17/beyond-nuclear-de..."; personally announcing the award of $8.3 billion in new reactor loan guarantees to Southern Company of Georgia and its business partners, for the building of two Toshiba-Westinghouse Advanced Passive 1000 (AP1000) reactors at the Vogtle nuclear power plant in Burke County, Georgia, just across the Savannah River from the severely radioactively contaminated Savannah River Site nuclear weapons complex. Obama’s choice of the AP1000 as best new nuclear reactor design out there, and most deserving of the first nuclear loan guarantee, was more than a little ironic, given the HYPERLINK "http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/news/2009/09-173.html" US Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s announcement just four months earlier that the AP1000 “shield building,” essential to radiological containment, was poorly designed and vulnerable to earthquakes, tornadoes, and hurricanes (not to mention crashing airliners); it was so structurally suspect that NRC even questioned whether it was robust enough to support an emergency cooling water storage tank intended to sit atop it!beyondnuclear.org

Say we lined the Gulf Coast with a frozen wave, taller than any wave we know. Think of it like a dam with a Conan O’Brien hairdo (can’t wait until he gets to redefine a genre on TBS). The wave will not be built “on” the coastline, but in the shallows below.
Lining the perimeter of the spill will be underwater turbines with curved blades to absorb the force of the “clean” water coming in. This creates friction and will allow for a larger wave than normal to be created. This “clean” wave will splash into the oily water and create a reaction that breaks up the oil particles by using the force of relatively cleaner and more powerful particles. Since you’re dumping more and more water on the spill you are shifting the relative ratio. The spill is nothing but an overwhelming ratio of a foreign body to a native body. It can be broken down with the clean water, but it will always exist, just in a relatively less dense way and these smaller particles will spread out over a more expansive space, but it’s effects may still be felt because in some places it may become dense again.
The big temporary rigid wave along the coastline should be made out of a substance similar to the substance that lines the coastline. Something like sand. Coastline’s are integral as they contain a forgiving substance that allows land bodies to use the force of water to wobble back and forth a bit as to not agitate the fire below the earth that causes all that to rumbling. Sand is like this awesome cushion and coastlines angle so that the waves get a chance to release their energy and return to their body. Coastlines “understand” the ocean’s they buffer. Remember, waves bring remnants from far away lands to the coast. They also bring matter from below the surface to the surface and sometimes this matter washes up. We learned this trick early on and engineered vehicles to do the same. See, we’re very perceptive. That’s our gift, the ability to spot diverse relationships. We call it intelligence. But that’s only one part. The first part is wonder. We have to wonder about these processes before we use our intelligent brain to make said wonder dense. The density is intelligence.
