2GreenEnergy Headed Back to the East Coast
Next week I’m headed to the East Coast for a series of meetings, heading north from Washington DC to Philadelphia to Newark (NJ), and finally New York. Where I would love to do all this intercity travel by train, I’ll need to rent a car for the first few stops, drop it off in Trenton and take the train from there.
Recently I’ve been helping a few of the clients of a DC-based lobby firm that happens to be in cleantech apply for government grants, and this trip will enable me to meet some of the key players here in person for the first time; I’m looking forward to that.
On my way home later in the week, I’ll be making a stop at the CSP (concentrated solar power) show in Las Vegas. These people have done a terrific job for this fledgling industry, and I try to support them whenever I can.
Perhaps the largest impediment to the adoption of electric vehicles is owners’ worry about the battery, i.e. what happens when it reaches the end of its life and needs to be replaced. When you think about it, there are no analogies anywhere in a consumer’s life: the purchase of a roughly $10,000 item that becomes worthless over a period of a few years.
Even though fossil fuels are used to generate power in most homes in Australia, environment friendly people still prefer clean, renewable sources of energy like sun. Be it home or business, the demand of solar energy is gripping very fast.
Social media has a lot more uses than just posting cute pics of you and your besties on a fun night out.
Gone are the days when people were totally dependent upon the electricity from the power grids and even then remained upset with frequent black outs and heavy power bills. But now it is the era of sustainable energy, a type that is readily available at your service at any point of your life.
The winter chills are setting in and your house is freezing (Really? It’s summer in the northern hemisphere, where far more than 90% of the world’s population lives. -ed.) You want to install a heater but you’re not sure which one to buy; which one is the most affordable outright, vs. which one has the lowest ongoing costs? Which heater is the right size for my current home (“my?” You switched from the 2nd to the 1st person? Why? – ed.), but also offers the option of extension if I decide to add more rooms? And perhaps most importantly, which heater is the safest system to heat my room? These are some questions you may ask yourself as the colder months approach and you become desperate for a heating solution.
