Need For Clean Energy Policy Still Strong

March 8th, 2010 by EBR_EBdaily

Those in the clean energy industry continue to play the waiting game in the policy arena. The question remains as what type of, if any, energy and climate change legislation will be put into action in the US in 2010. I put my own spin on things this week, heavily relying on EnergyBoom’s archives. So, if you are trying to get caught up with what has been happening in the renewables game - join me as I venture through the dusty vaults of our past work.

Clean Energy Funding Increased in US Government Budget

February 24th, 2010 by EBR_EBdaily

Investing in Renewable Technologies: Wind, Solar, Geotherm, Hydro, Biomass

When it is said that United States is graduating towards a clean energy economy – it was meant that way only. The growing importance of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) within DOE is now more palpable than ever. The budget of FY 2011 testifies the same. It has been allocated a fund of 2.36 billion USD out of 28.4 billion USD budgets of DOE in FY 2011. President Barack Obama declared that on Feb 1st. The overall budget request for EERE has increased by 5% over FY2010. Of course, funds from American Recovery & Reinvestment Act are excluded from above. The various EERE programs which got the major fillip in the budget are as under: Continue reading ‘Clean Energy Funding Increased in US Government Budget’

Global Investments in Clean Energy Fell Less than Expected in 2009

February 24th, 2010 by EBR_EBdaily

The economic downturn caused a decrease in clean energy investments during 2009, according to several studies. However, booming investments in Asia, particularly in China’s wind power, meant that global investments in clean energy remained stronger than expected.

Will Nuclear Fusion Finally be a Reality? The National Ignition Facility Will Provide the Answer

December 2nd, 2009 by EBR_EBdaily

For decades researchers and scientists all over the world have been trying to turn the dream of nuclear fusion into a reality. So far the exact procedure to bring about nuclear fusion had eluded scientists. But now preparations are underway at the National Ignition Facility to produce the world’s first nuclear fusion reaction in a controlled environment. If the team at the ignition facility can actually harness the energy source of atomic bombs, the sun and the stars, they will be ensuring a limitless supply of clean energy for residential and commercial purposes.

Z Accelerator Output Nears Fusion Levels

September 11th, 2009 by EBR_EBdaily

New tests done on the Z accelerator found its power and temperatures climbing quite high. These significant test results on the Z accelerator have laid the groundwork for achieving sustainable fusion reactions, providing data to help test US defenses without physically exploding large-scale devices – the concept of so-called science-based stockpile stewardship – and the advancement of basic scientific research. Z accelerator – formerly known as the PBFA-Z – is the most powerful generator of X-rays around the world. Read more about Electricity: Global Industry Guide
