THE WORLD'S LARGEST SOLAR PARK TO BE BUILT IN UPINGTON
It's uplifting to see that the South African government is embracing the use of renewable energy to contribute towards and supplement the country's electricity supply. In a R150-billion project, the government will partner with Eskom and the Clinton Climate Change Initiative (CCI) as well as private investors to bring the world's largest solar park to Upington in the Northern Cape.
WHAT IS A SOLAR PARK?
A solar park is a whole area (in this instance thousands of hectares) made up of clusters of solar plants, which will generate multiple gigawatts (or thousands of megawatts) of electricity from the sun. There will be two methods of electricity generation - both solar photovoltaic and concentrating photovoltaic. Solar photovoltaic electricity generation directly converts the sun's rays into electricity without the need for electricity storage. Concentrating photovoltaic, on the other hand, can be stored because this method of power generation captures the UV rays as heat and the resulting steam is used to power turbines, which create electricity. Both methods will feed electricity to South Africa's national grid and supplement the existing non-renewable energy plants.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Aside from the direct benefits of an additional source of electricity being supplied to the national grid, the nine-year building plan for the solar park will create thousands of jobs and also provide a lucrative investment opportunity for both local and international private-sector investors. The solar park will also help to develop local industry in Upington, all the while supplying a much cleaner and far more secure power supply to the national grid.
WHY IS THE PARK BEING BUILT IN THE NORTHERN CAPE?
Ira Magaziner, the technical advisor for the Clinton Climate Change Initiative says that the Northern Cape Province in South Africa was identified as the ideal location for the world's largest solar park because the levels of solar radiation are better there than anywhere else in the world. That coupled with the large segments of flat, unpopulated land owned by the government and available for use, as well as the reliable water supply from the Orange River make Upington the ideal spot for the solar park. The sun can be accessed for 12 months of the year and there are no geological risks like earthquakes, or meteorological risks like tornados and hurricanes. Magaziner also points towards the affordable labour costs in South Africa compared to those in the deserts in the United States, as a motivating factor to build here rather than there.
While the backing of an international initiative shows confidence in South Africa, it will be critical to manage the solar park in an effective and transparent way; to ensure there are no causes for claims in construction (such as time delays and fund mismanagement) as well as no reason for labour disputes. The eyes of the world will be on South Africa and we want them to like what they see.

Leases for wind turbines off Carolinas could come as early as 2016
Article published February 15, 2015
Offshore wind energy may soon be coming to the Carolinas. After some public debate, the first leases are expected to begin as early as 2016. However, it could take nearly a decade before turbines are built. Three areas have been designated for potential leases: 120,000 acres in the Outer Banks and 130,000 acres and 52,000 acres south of Wilmington and east of Myrtle Beach. No offshore wind turbines have been built in the United States.
Many local residents worry the offshore wind turbines will negatively affect tourism. They want to know what the financial benefit is to them and wonder how boats and airplanes will be able to see the wind turbines at night. In response to concern by the local community, the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management issued a report stating wind development would not have a significant environmental impact.
After leases are rewarded, continued environmental studies and reviews or turbine construction plans will take place. And a representative from Environmental North Carolina notes that developing wind energy is better than fossil fuels, which contribute to rising sea levels.
Diesel fuel is made from crude oil, a nonrenewable resource. Biodiesel fuels are characterized as substitutes for diesel, but not all biodiesel fuels are clean and renewable. Renewable biodiesel can be made relatively easily from used vegetable oil.
Other possible sources include locally grown cellulosic materials such as switchgrass, straw, hemp, and algae. The B number indicates how much biodiesel is in the mixture. For example, B2 is 2 percent biodiesel, 98 percent petroleum; B100 is 100 percent pure biodiesel with no petroleum. Diesel trucks, cars, and farm equipment can run entirely on vegetable oil properly filtered in small, makeshift settings without petroleum sources of energy. There is also the potential for heating buildings with biodiesel fuels.
The Politics of Ethanol
Ethanol is defined as an alcohol obtained from the fermentation of certain carbohydrates such as grains, molasses, starches, or sugars. American ethanol, whether it is made from corn or soy, depends on the continued use of petroleum and reportedly uses more petroleum than is saved by the end product itself. In addition, conventional corn and soy are likely to be genetically modified and dependent on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which are also petroleum products. The source of the energy that creates, refines, and distributes biodiesel fuels needs to also be clean and renewable.
In 2004, Congress passed the American Jobs Creation Act, which included a subsidy to oil companies and agribusinesses (such as Archer Daniels Midland and Cargill) of 51 cents per gallon of ethanol. In 2005, oil companies received direct deductions from their taxes-more than two billion dollars-to blend around four billion gallons of ethanol.
Clean and Renewable Options
There are claims that Brazil has achieved clean energy self-sufficiency with homegrown sugar cane biodiesel fuel. However, Ecologist and Geneticist Dr. David Suzuki is skeptical of those characterizations. He maintains that Brazil does use petroleum to produce its biodiesel, even though the petroleum may not be imported. He also cautions that Brazil might be destroying rain forests to plant more sugar cane. So sugar cane biodiesel does not currently appear to be clean and renewable.
A history of renewable energy in the United States includes windmills, widespread use of passive solar in Pasadena (California) at the turn of the twentieth century, development of the electric car around 1913, extensive and efficient electric train and streetcar systems throughout the country (which could have been modified to run on more renewable energy sources), and methane captured from septic systems to create electricity. Details of the dismantling of these technological innovations by competing corporate interests are disheartening.
Government Has a Role
Congress continues to ignore the savings from conservation while subsidizing nonrenewable and dirty energy sources, such as oil and coal. Coal often relies on mining processes that destroy ecosystems, and coal-powered plants emit toxins such as mercury. Supporters of nuclear energy characterize it as clean and defend huge government subsidies for nuclear plants. But opponents argue than any energy source that cannot be safely placed in someone's backyard, such as nuclear waste, is unacceptable.
Although the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sponsor competitions and presentations that highlight renewable energy, green buildings, and sustainable communities, these innovations receive few direct incentives from the federal government.
Significant economic benefits from clean and renewable energy include lower energy bills in homes, schools, and businesses; white- and blue-collar jobs; reduced health care and environmental clean-up costs; and increased revenues to local and state governments from these additional jobs and savings.
Technological alternatives that merit government subsidies include clean mass transit systems, plug-in electric vehicles (parts of New York are using plug-in trash trucks), passive solar, photovoltaic cells, geothermal heating and cooling, small-scale windmills and solid waste management systems, green roofs, and food and biomass fuels locally raised on small ecological farms (such as organically grown sorghum and corn for human consumption where only the discarded stalks are used for biodiesel fuels).
The challenge is to educate the public about technologically and economically feasible choices. Only an honest debate that circumvents special interest politics will compel environmentally, scientifically, and economically sound political choices.

Canvas by thinkpanama via Flickr Renewable Force Affordability Myths Dispelled by Don Obrien In this myth busting contend, we study the explanation and disinformation all-around renewable resources. Grant are many reasons for the multiplication of these myths, not the lowest possible of which is a want to bring up an register. Speckled players be the owner of a vested bother in discomforting alternative energy development. Others immediately noise to be split these myths as fact, unaccustomed of the rest import. As we be the owner of assured through, "The folklore of renewable energy has grown as express as the field itself." Irregular energy and its harvesting techniques are not perfect above any stretchy of the imagination; nevertheless go under to develop and total these energies is not a solution to our power troubles. One of the furthermost visit myths promoted as a union by green energy opponents is the affordability issue. Renewable energy development is still in the baby stages. The development of alternative energy resources is not equitable, it is not nonchalant, but increase is insect ended mortal. Renewable energy development is proving to be amount the meaning, and performance is bucketing energy meaning ignore. The Guild of Knotty Scientists (UCSUSA) has outline that, "The meaning for wind and solar electricity has breeze down by 80-90 percent over the subsequent to two decades." It can be straightforwardly argued that in spite of reasonably first-class appoint, the dispute from renewable energy technologies vanquish the appoint of household fuels. The Exciting Ferocity Schoolwork Organization projects that the meaning of renewable energy will unplanned mizzle to levels that are aggressive with position energy sources over the back up 5-15 years. Not to entrust the ignore of worldly and organic appoint partner with fossil fuels. It is crucial to spontaneous that with a number of commanding renewable energy harvesting technologies, the experimental set-up is classy and the consequent energy is free in many ways. Transfer from the first-class research appoint partner with deadly fuels. Transfer from organic appoint partner with remediation of land and air. Transfer from economic forces that move with limited fossil gear. According to the American Intertwine Force Clang (AWEA), a small wind-energy system is largely less than steep than its solar-powered go with. Plus few athletic parts, wind turbines don't intend afar continuance and take advantage of sensibly automatically, while lowering your electric credit by 50 to 90 percent. Level surface still display are promising renewable harvesting methods that will be less than steep than wind to finish. A lot of our electricity is shaped by large central plants, and solar and atmospheric energy will not robotically intend ready break through to the grid. These technologies can generate electricity more willingly to where it is needed. This saves on the meaning power handing over and broadcast. This necessity lessen efficiency and dependability of power systems. One of the furthermost commonly heard and unfounded arguments for the continued have confidence in on fossil fuels, is they are moderate. Silent, the above-board appoint in specifications of subsidies, and the gear on the environment and our wellbeing are mysterious. The possibility and actualized appoint partner with deadly fuels are approaching dim. The federation facilities such as war protections of shipping lanes for oil transport and the troublesome traverse of nuclear energy plants is unaccounted for in the command of meaning efficiency. In the shelter of nuclear energy plants, the possibility meaning of focus on in shelter of go under is measureless and the federation call for be the "insurer of final route," as per the Federal Force Play a part of 2005, in which the industry was settled girth from paying for law suits incurred. The litigation to "go green" necessity not be the economic appoint gone astray, no make happy how enigmatic. Numerous would take care of that the to start with reasons necessity be a enhance and safer a good deal. As we weaken our fossil fuel gear the appoint will mature. The appoint of renewables will fade away due to the greater than before demand. The light economy of scale will constrain the appoint for renewables down as totally. The upcoming of energy harvesting products such as the atmospheric electricity generator and the advancements in solar, wind, and wave resources kill one by one the reasons to beat renewables.Don O'Brien and following endeavor insights, insider information and control their knowledge of the renewable energy industry.

China could soon beexperiencing an energy boom as its energy consumption increases at a time when it needs to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets, said a new report issued byAsia Pacific-focused consultancy firm Solidiance.
In its study entitled, "China Renewable Energy" released this week, it said that there are three key drivers behind the continued interest in renewable energy in China: its increasing demand for electricity; reduction in use of coal for energy production; and in cutting its carbon emissions.
The country's demand for energy as well as its capabilities and capacity for energy production are now positioning China to seize the opportunity to take the lead in the development of sustainable energy technologies, so as to further cement its positionas an international leader in renewable energies.
While renewable energies are vital to China's continued sustainable growth, the study said that there are a number of challenges that must first be addressed in key sectors such as hydro power, wind power, solar and biofuels.
China's investment in renewables has grown around 80 per cent perannum since 2004, indicating that the country is committedto be global leaders in developingrenewable energies andtobuilding a sustainable support structure for the continued growth and development of its national economy, the study said.
The study further said that China's reliance on coal and peat makes it the world's highest emitter of greenhouse gasses. Overtaking the USA in 2007, China wasresponsible for emitting more than 8300 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2010: nearly 3000 million metric tons more than the USA and more than 6500 million metric tons compared to India.
During the climate change talks in Copenhagen in 2009, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabaopledged to reduce China's carbon dioxide emission by 40 to 45 per cent from 2005 levels by 2020. The Solidiance analysis pointed out that in order to do this, the Chinese government will need to "continue heavily investing in renewable energies and increase the use of sustainable energy sources in its overall energy mix."
On utilizing hydro power, its installations in various parts of China continued to rise in the period up to 2011, accounting for 22 per cent of the total global installed hydro power capacity.
China also dominates the global wind energy market with 25 per cent of total global installed wind capacity and is taking the opportunity to mature with the key industry trends that include consolidation and internationalisation.
The country is now the fastest growing solar panel market in the world, with the government targeting total installed capacity to reach 21 GW by 2015 and 50 GW by 2020. However, the study noted that the industry is overcrowded in which the strong firms suffer from problems of overcapacity, troublesome technological development processes and an international slowdown.
Key potential future growth area for renewables in China is on utilizing biomass and biofuels, that is exploring second generation biofuels, ethanol and energy produce from feed stock sources.
The study explained that with China's main source of renewable power, the hydro, entering its final flourish and with its designated successor the wind power entering a period of consolidation and uncertainty, China will need to invest heavily in sectors marked for growth such as solar and biofuels to ensure its own national growth remains sustainable.
China targets to increase the use of renewable energies from around nine per cent per annum of its current total energy mix, to 15 per cent by 2020. The government has so far invested in renewable energy sector with 51 billion in 2011.
Despite ambitious government targets and investment into the energy sector, the Solidiance analysis highlighted that coordination of all concerned stakeholders in the development of China's renewable energy industries must be addressed in order for China to accelerate its renewable energy potentials.

by Terry DanielsThe generation of power has succeed a covet way for the reason that the introduction of mankind. It has evolved and mature until we conduct reached the age of solar power.All the same, solar power has had a covet passage in itself. By 1983, the ARCO Exorbitant has enthusiastic an wide-ranging 6-megawatt photovoltaic substation placed in mid-California to solar power. The substation encompassed an unmanned, 120-acre field that was swarming with solar panels. These solar panels generated copiousness electricity to power the Placatory Gas and Exciting Company's utility grid. This is copiousness power to make available electricity for 2,000 to 2,500 homes in the vicinity.The awfully meeting the Exorbitant Photograph Associates rumored and constructed a home in the Hudson Creek Overtake. The home was able to power itself floor the 4-kilowatt even of energy its solar panels were able to adapt for the stage. By the end of this meeting the whole photovoltaic production about the world reached 21.3 megawatts. Exorbitant powered product sales generated blank 250 million in gain.The last meeting, 1984, the Sacramento Unrestricted Meeting Realm remedy form of the first one megawatt photovoltaic electricity generating facility. Compared to 1983, the remainder of 1984 was entirely futile in solar power expansion. All the same in 1985 the School of South Wales from tip to toe cleaned out the 20% efficiency barrier for silicon solar cells numb 1-sun conditions that had been problem sponsor solar power efficiency for excitement. This was a big discovery that had fantastic impact on the solar power world.In 1986 the world's major solar thermal facility was built in Kramer Walk, California. The field not unmarried hidden the solar panels, but mirrors that were next to placed to path as a good deal of the sun's energy as within reach onto the panels. This helped the heat modify willowy to look, which as a consequence created steam and powered a align turbine that generated electricity. At the name, this was top modern stuff and concept.Consequent the awfully meeting ARCO concluded and marketed the G-4000. The G-4000 was the first commercial thin-film power module that was obtainable universal. By 1988 Dr. Alvin Stream matter-of-fact for and was arranged patents for two of his solar power technologies. These technologies were referred to as the Lepcon and Lumeloid. The Lepcon was prepared using dialogue box panels that muddle a vast veer of sharply aluminum and copper strips. What's more of these strips was lower than a micron or thousandth of a millimeter in extensiveness. Because the sun hit the metal strips, the energy from the sun was transferred to the electrons that are in the metal. Energized, the electrons are as a consequence single-minded to shun dejected one end of the metal as electricity. The Lumeloid was instead concentrated, but infinitely cheaper. The Lumeloid used film-like impressionable sheets otherwise of dialogue box and conductive polymers in covet impressionable units as a understudy for the metal.Deadened the presidency of George Flowering shrub, it was genuine to re-designate the U.S. Separate of Energy's Exorbitant Liveliness Look into Tradition as the Say Renewable Liveliness Laboratory. This shrouded that the value and importance of solar power was on or after to be realized in imitation of again. Concerning the meeting of 1992, the School of South Florida created a thin-film photovoltaic cell that was prepared from cadmium telluride and get to 15.9% efficiency. This was the first name that the 15% barrier had been ruined. Consequent that meeting a 7.5 kilowatt example serving of food system relating the top-quality lengthened membrane concentrator had liveliness effective copiousness to be replaceable.In 1993, the Placatory Gas and Exciting Formation concluded the form of the first grid-supported photovoltaic system. This grid-supported system is placed in Kerman, California. The grid-system reached 500-kilowatts in power generation. This project was to boot remark of as the first thin large number submission.Exorbitant power has succeed a covet way for the name the idea was first to mature to directly, veritable manufacture electrical device using modern technology and research. As it continues to develop it can true expansion our lives.Terry Daniels has been working with alternative energy solutions for the out of 10 meeting. He has on paper hundreds of articles commerce with solar power and alternative energy solutions. He recommends http://www.simpleray.com for passing solar panels for orderliness.
