OK Sounds great. Now it has been about a year. Has the company installed the solar system and is it working? Follow up to stories will show the success of “green energy” to the business community more than “fanfare” at the announcement. Just my thoughts from my side. Lou Gage

You would have to think, that such an idea as this would have been thought of before, but I guess smart thinking is starting to come around.

It’s good to hear that small scale energy production is on the rise and will become a fairly sizable portion of U.S. energy production. As Bucky Fuller said “Small is Beautiful”.

Interesting technology. Do you know what is the output on these systems?

I worked on uranium exploration in the early 80’s so I’m not opposed to nuclear, but it seems to me that we could also use intermittent sources (wind/solar) to produce hydrogen and use that for baseload power. (The power plants that run on natural gas now could probably also burn hydrogen.) There aren’t many areas where the sun doesn’t shine or the wind doesn’t blow.

This story seems to imply that this technology is new, or that this company invented it, both of which could not be further from the truth.

Kevin it doesn’t say that this company invented it or that it is new – but curiously, the owner, Mr. Koochekzadeh, does seems to have invented it while at his prior company. I found this info at http://www.solarpanelsplus.com/SPP-history/ it appears that their CEO’s former company did in fact invent the technology, in 1979. Interesting, and like you said, there are many companies using this technology today.

Hi, that’s a good question, I believe there’s an rss but I’m not sure how to use it.

Usually I just skim through these blogs and only read ones that -jump- out at me and yours did. Thanks for it – it is actually a real good read! Do you have a subcribe area so I can link to it to read again another day? Let me know – thanks.

”The fact is that nuclear energy is neither clean nor sustainable, it is simply expedient.”

But it is a baseload technology, which we absolutely need immediately and contributes huge amounts of emissions, which on a LCA would have lower emissions/KWh than coal, gas, and hydro.

Evacuated solar tubes are shipping out of China by the boat load… not exactly new technology.

————-“The fact is that nuclear energy is neither clean nor sustainable, it is simply expedient.”———-

No, this is not a fact, it is a political posture. Not only does nuclear energy have a superlative safety record, better than the record for any renewable-energy source, it is the only non-polluting energy source that can supply electricity on demand when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining.

For real facts, please look at http://gwperplexed.niof.org/thecase.htm

Thanks for allowing comments on your comments.

You obviously don’t live next to a uranium mine.
