We have replaced our wind generator with a three sided solar panel "Tower of Power". It may become a new photo fixation for me. Summit Station, Greenland... top of the ice sheet HDR Aug 22 12 0056_7_tm
Demanding good jobs, healthier communities, and frontline justice with 100% clean, renewable energy, hundreds of New Yorkers converged on the State Capitol on Wednesday to call on Governor Cuomo and state lawmakers to support the NYS Climate & Community Protection Act (A.10342) – the nation’s strongest climate protection bill. NY Renews, a historic group of labor, environmental, and grassroots organizations, is coming together for the first time to trailblaze a new front in the fight against climate change – pushing the climate protection debate from an environmental discussion to an economic and social justice one.

Next Generation Power and Energy EU online take a look at some fact and figures of solar power in Europe.
About a million years ago a friend of mine told me, if I was going to ride a recumbent I was the one that would have to make it cool, well, here I am with my two new 50 watt monochristaline solar panels packed in my trailer on my recumbent heading to my boat to make some ice with the sun... I'd say that was pretty damn cool!
105 solar panels are installed at Littlestown Veterinary Hospital in Littlestown, PA, in mid September 2010. The Littlestown Veterinary Hospital in Littlestown, PA, received a grant from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development under the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) to have solar panels installed to help reduce their carbon footprint and to have cost effective electric power for the hospital. REAP provides grants for energy audits and renewable energy development assistance. The program also provides funds to agricultural producers and rural small business to purchase and install renewable energy systems and make energy efficiency improvements. The expected cost savings using solar power for the hospital’s electrical needs is expected to reduce the facility’s operating expenses by 30%-40%. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.
IVANPAH, CALIFORNIA, APRIL 05 2013: An aerial view of the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility with left to right Tower 1, 2 and 3, where heliostats installation is nearly completed.
Located in the Mojave Desert 40 miles southwest of Las Vegas, The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a solar thermal power project, currently under construction, with a planned capacity of 392 megawatts gross, enough to power approximately 140,000 houses. It will deploy 173,500 heliostat mirrors spread over approximately 3,500 acres, focusing solar energy on boilers located atop three solar power towers, generating steam to turn a conventional steam turbine. The project – owned by NRG Solar, Google and BrightSource Energy – is currently the largest solar thermal plant under construction in the world. The project is being constructed by Bechtel.

A new invasive species is creeping across the Antelope Valley, known for its miles of wildflowers. This large, stark, three-petaled invader, with its plain thick stem, is not much to look at. It kills off all the native plants, destroys the scenic beauty of the area, and pretty much takes over the landscape. It is also fatal to birds and bats.
Yet this invader is subsidized by the federal government, which pays people to spread it. Not only that, government bureaucrats spend taxpayer dollars to propagate another invader, the rectangular sun cup, that has already wiped out several square miles of native wildflowers in the space below the three-petaled invader.
One of my favorite viewpoints of the California poppy fields backed by the snowy Tehachapi Range has been forever degraded by these invasive species. Rumors are that they will continue to spread in this unique habitat.

Seguin Storage owner Timothy Oglesby utilized a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development (RD) Rural Utilities Service (RUS) Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) to help with the photovoltaic array (solar panels) to reduce the cost of operating his storage facility in Seguin, Texas, on March 24, 2020. This is the first phase of the complex that will have additional storage buildings with plans to install arrays on each.
Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) was used FY 2017 for a grant amount of $18,729.75 toward the
30.7 kW Solar Photovoltaic system placed on the roof of a new climate-controlled storage facility. The solar array produces an average of 44,193 kWh annually. Based on an average price of $0.089 per kWh the small business grantee should save $3,933.17 per year. The grant was 25% of the total eligible project costs ($74,919) for a total of $18,729.75. The return on investment for this project is 19 years.
