With the production of cow-dung fuel (Komaya) occupying much of the adjacent ground, YDM-4 6528 commences its return journey to Pilibhit Junction. The 13:35 from Shahjahanpur Junction (SZP), the 52234 all stations passenger service would take 2 hours 40 minutes to cover the 84 kms, making 14 intermediate stops en route. As for the 'renewable energy' dung patties (Khande) they would take about 4-5 days to dry in the sun prior to being moved and stacked for eventual use.

Desert tortoises are a threatened species of tortoises found in the American southwest (and elsewhere).
They are one of the species encountered by renewable power project developers siting projects in these regions.

Press to play video of the windfarm that " supplies 10K homes with eletricity".. on a day - one of many - when the wind speed drops below 10MPH.. and when the giant turbines can't hack a single 40W bulb between them.
Comment on the hype over renewables, when the reality is that until electricity storage technology evolves greatly, there will always be ultimate reliance on fossil fuel / nuclear electricity generation.

My corn on the cob cupcakes! (you know, corn is renewable energy, but then again...so is sugar in my case,lol)
The corn kernels are jelly beans. The melted butter is a starburst cut in half and slightly melted. The pepper is black sugar.
My entry for the Monthly Scavenger Hunt category "Renewable Energy".
This video shows off the functions of my Energy 2.0 moc. The music was made by me in Garage Band a while back, and while it's not my best, it fits the video well. In some of the shots, the action is hard to see, so keep an eye out for the light-up feature of the house. I hope you enjoy!
More renewable energy facilities are springing up around Micropolis. This wind farm sits on the edge of town in the windiest part of the landscape. Ref: D1603-034
Wind Farm at Altimont Pass, Livermore, CA. Thanks to Edward (aka Light Stalker) for dragging my sleepy head for early morning shot... :D
Yikes, so many dust at my sensor...

If you care about clean energy, the BLM is a major leader in making solar, wind, and geothermal energy possible.
Since 2009, BLM has approved 57 renewable energy projects (34 solar, 11 wind, and 12 geothermal) with potential for over 15,000 MWs, or enough to power more than 5 million homes and create some 26,000 jobs. There are currently over 17,000 MWs of renewable energy projects permitted on public land, including 2,379 MWs of renewable energy projects approved prior to 2009.
BLM is focused on approving renewable energy development on public lands in accelerated, but environmentally-responsible manner; ensuring protection of signature landscapes, wildlife habitats, and cultural resources.
For the years 2016 and 2017, the BLM will process 7 renewable energy projects (5 solar and 2 geothermal) representing 1337 MW, or enough electricity to power over 400,000 homes.

Seen on the Fairfield Bench in Montana. Foreground is some vintage farm equipment. Background a new wind tower is being assembled. The blades look different than some earlier wind towers in Montana. They have a bit of curve. Seen while out on my motorcycle.
Nothing lasts forever, and one of the things that are going to run out in a short while is oil. Fossil fuels have been used for a very long time as a means of generating much of the energy needs of the globe. From cars to electricity and plastics, these fossil fuels have been burned and transformed into heat energy and a million other products.
Today, however, the oil reserves are drying up and a world energy crisis is beginning to take shape. With renewable energy solutions, however, this can be averted. Endless supply of resources Renewable energy solutions are the means of generating the energy needs for humans through resources that are in endless supply right in our environment. The sun and wind, for instance, are classic examples of renewable energy sources.

pililla windfarm is the second renewable energy generation plant constructed in the philippines. The project consists of 27 wind turbine generators grouped into three clusters with aggregate capacity of 67.5 megawatts (MW). constructed at the slopes of a mountain range in the province of rizal, the pilla windfarm is part of several windfarms to be constructed in the philippines ushering in the country to clean energy.
In 1996, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) conducted a wind resource analysis and mapping study. It concluded that various areas in the Philippines are ideal for wind power installation. These areas include Bangui and Burgos towns in Ilocos Norte, Batanes and Babuyan Islands, which are north of Luzon and the higher interior terrain of Mindoro, Samar, Leyte, Panay, Negros, Cebu, Palawan and Eastern Mindanao. The study led to the inception of the wind farm project. NorthWind Power Development Corp. developed (and maintains and operates) the project, while Vestas Wind Systems, a Danish firm, supplied the wind turbine-generator units (WTGs) for the site, similar to those already found in Denmark. The project was to have been developed in three phases.
the windmill is 125meters high from the bottom of the base up to the tip of the blade. the body of the windmill is 77meters high.
the pililla windfarm was completed in 2016

Current waste treatment plant uses biological proesses to clean water at Doug Jernigan Farms, a three-generation family farm and employer who, a few months earlier, refinanced a first of it’s kind in the nation, swine-turkey waste to renewable energy system (RES), with the assistance of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development (RD) Renewable Energy for America Program (REAP) loan guarantee in Mt. Olive, NC, Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2015.
Typical systems separate methane gas for energy, solids are disposed or repurposed and liquids are cleaned. This new system addition takes the watery manure effluent to a new and as Mr. Jernigan say’s “prolific profit” producing state through savings and sales. “There is an opportunity for the farm to make money doing a good thing for the environment.”
The system handles about 75,000 gallons of swine and turkey waste effluent each day. Piped to a series of tanks, and mechanical equipment that separates solids, and liquids. The current treatment facility biologically removes ammonia nitrogen with bacteria adapted to high-strength wastewater; removes phosphorus via alkali precipitation; and reduction emissions of odorant compounds, ammonia, pathogens, and heavy metals to the environment. The water is cleaned for reuse in the swine and turkey operations that wash more manure into the cycle of the system.
The new methane reactors (under the framework of what will be a C-span structure) use an endothermic gasifier that heats the waste solids to very high temperatures to the point that they release gases. The clean methane gas will fuel an engine that turns a 300KW electrical generator producing electricity; ethanol will help fuel farm equipment, and resulting potash solids can be used or sold for agricultural fertilizer. Excess amounts of electricity, that the farms cannot use, will be sold and transmitted to the local energy company, for use by residents and businesses; renewable energy credits (REC) are sold to a different energy company.
With a system that eliminates all ammonia and other odor creating compounds, Mr. Jernigan says, “What I’m doing is good for the environment; it’s good for the farm in the respect that you’re getting rid of waste that you’re creating in a high-tech way. There’s no footprint. It’s just gone.”
Doug and Aileen are lifelong farmers and they have three grown children that work in the farm operation. Their farm currently operates a 21,600 finishing farm operation, an eight house turkey operation, a 250 head cow /calf operation. The farm also consists of 2,400 acres of row crop production (cotton, corn, soybeans and wheat).
Doug Jernigan’s grandfather started farming here in 1941, and he continues the tradition with his business that began in 1974.
In talking about the greater potential of this technology and what others should consider, Jernigan says, “I see it as a win-win thing.”

*The treatment system (without the methane reactor) was documented to remove, on a mass basis, approximately 99% of total suspended solids, 98% of COD, 99% of TKN, 100% ammonia, 100% odor compounds, 92% phosphorus, 95% copper, and 97% zinc from the flushed manure. Fecal coliform reductions were measured to be 99.98%
