[Earth2Tech] 5 More Questions for EnerNOC’s CEO Tim Healy « Earth2Tech: That’s something that is a new way of thinking about building our nation’s infrastructure and that hasn’t been the case traditionally. Utilities lose money if they invest too much in energy efficiency under many regulatory constructs that exists across the U.S. today, and we would like to see that change.

[GM-VOLT : Chevy Volt Concept Site] Lockheed Martin Signs Agreement with EEStor | GM-VOLT : Chevy Volt ...: I’m no expert, but this appears to be a capacitor with battery chemistry that allows for shallow electron capture and sequestration within a thin coating of chemistry between the plates. I’m thinking of a “wide shallow pool” which captures and releases electrons with little resistance rather than the traditional “deep lake” battery which requires more work (and heat) to pull the electrons up from the depths.

[Hear] Tesla Motors - Customers: There are already state subsidies for solar, if thin-sheet solar companies like Nanosolar can bring them out at up to 1/10 cost of solar cells now, and if I can power a Tesla off it and if (as a bonus) in 10 years li-ion batteries cost up to half what they do now, and if this means I don’t have to pay for gas -especially from companies (& countries?) I don’t like (Hailbut-burton perhaps?) and if all this leads to zero co2 emissions then what’s the problem ?

[Comments for Make Money Online with Garry Conn] Apple Mac Book Vs Dell XPS - Help Me Decide!: Since Macs now use Intel Core 2 Duo processors, you can run Windows XP on them just fine, either in BootCamp, which is built into MacOS X but requires dual-booting, or in third-party virtualisation managers such as Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion, which let you simultaneously use Windows-only applications (e.g. MS Access, MS Visual Studio, MS Expression) alongside MacOS X applications and copy and paste between the two environments;

[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] The Oil Drum | DrumBeat: March 4, 2009: Homeownership occupies a central place in the American Dream primarily because decades of policy have put it there. A recent study by Grace Wong, an economist at the Wharton School of Business, shows that, controlling for income and demographics, homeowners are no happier than renters, nor do they report lower levels of stress or higher levels of self-esteem.

[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] The Oil Drum | Peak Oil Media: Buffett on Net Energy and Peak Oil ...: Your point about my comparison of 10GW of average power against 75 GW peak is a fair one, I just did not get around to drawing the comparison better - a better comparison is either the one you suggest, or to compare peak wind power production with peak, and since wind power tracks rather well in the UK with power consumption at peak in the winter it is around 2.5 times more than in June, as against an increase on power consumption of just under 4 times, from 20GW to 75GW - so we might say that the 33GW nameplate will produce around 5-15GW of actual output, or around a quarter to a fifth of total output, similar to the figure you give.

[Comments for RealClimate] RealClimate: KickTheOilHabit.org and watch Mark Pike and his buddies try to drive across the US using only ethanol - their video blog is available on You Tube. We need your help - you can make a difference - contribute to the collective genius (and bring a friend).

[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] The Oil Drum | DrumBeat: November 12, 2006:  Most of the rooftop compatible turbines I've heard about only really offer about 300-500 watts, and even then, you might want to keep the tower apart from the house, to keep the vibrations off.  But I can't understand why wind has been getting such a beating.

[GM-VOLT : Chevy Volt Electric Car Site] Lutz: Almost No Reasonable Doubt Chevy Volt Will Work as Planned ...: I mean without slapping on a bunch of slick eye candy stuff that really doesn’t serve a purpose (think Chrysler Concorde LXi stuff like a trip computer, refrigerated glovebox, automatic dimming mirrors, sunroofs that move six ways to sunday, video rearview, too-much-power-anything). I don’t mind rolling up my own window while I wear my “electric vehicle grin”.
