Understanding the intricacies of renewable energy systems—and sometimes even just the basics—can be a full-time job. Thankfully, if you ever wanted to understand how enhanced geothermal systems works, an animator out of Taiwan is here to help you out. Check out this video: http://youtu.be/bmD178D5aRA
Fuel cells stack up well when comparing clean energy alternatives, and they’re increasingly being considered as sources of grid-tied and independent heat and power in stationary and mobile applications. Two recent fuel cell systems installations in New York City – at the new World Trade Center and at The Octagon, a mixed use development on Roosevelt Island – are good examples.
Renewable energy in the United States – most notably, wind energy – currently benefits from a production tax credit (PTC). Wind energy is eligible for $0.022 in tax credits per kWh. It might not sound like much, but considering how much energy wind turbines can generate, it can add up … [continued]
A coalition of clean energy economy leaders and stakeholders has sent Congress a letter urging them to extend the Treasury Section 1603 grant program through 2012.
