A new method for capturing significantly more heat from low-temperature geothermal resources holds promise for generating virtually pollution-free electrical energy. Scientists at the Department of Energys Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will determine if their innovative approach can safely and economically extract and convert heat from vast untapped geothermal resources.
The goal is to enable power generation from low-temperature geothermal resources at an economical cost. In addition to being a clean energy source without any greenhouse gas emissions, geothermal is also a steady and dependable source of power.

Renewable energy, including solar, wind, biofuels and more, accounts for more than 40 percent of power generation capacity added during the year.
Daniel Weiss discusses the American Clean Energy and Security Act and President Obama's clean cars program, and how they will affect our economy and our environment.
The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, currently with a U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee, is intended to create new jobs, save Americans hundreds of billions of dollars in energy costs, reduce global warming and pollution, and wean the country off imported oil.
Santa Fe, New Mexico has plans to heat all of the buildings in downtown Santa Fe, with biomass energy.
Biomass, as a renewable energy source, refers to living and recently dead biological material that can be used as fuel or for industrial production. In this context, biomass refers to plant matter grown to generate electricity or produce for example trash such as dead trees and branches, yard clippings and wood chips biofuel, and it also includes plant or animal matter used for production of fibers, chemicals or heat. Biomass may also include biodegradable wastes that can be burnt as fuel. It excludes organic material which has been transformed by geological processes into substances such as coal or petroleum.
Weather warfare. Well, with this evidence it would be near impossible to deny. One doesn't patent a device or process unless you want to protect it's distribution or disclosure. Here are some more for your perusal, and none of them are pending..if you catch my drift:

A technology developed by Renewable Energy Holdings of the UK and Perth-based clean energy technology developer Carnegie Corporation has produced electrical power and fresh water.
Brush and other materials found in Washington forests could serve to provide new means of energy, as well as control fires. KING 5's Glenn Farley reports.
Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources—such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat—which are renewable (naturally replenished).
Google CEO Eric Schmidt says despite the political debate, we should consider renewable energy over nuclear because "it's cheaper."
Schmidt highlights new innovations in wind and solar thermal production.

Owning and running a car is an essential but expensive part of life for many of us.
Today, with soaring fuel prices, US gas at $4 a gallon and diesel in the UK at a pump price of up to 1.30GBP a litre (that equates to over US $11 a gallon) any way of reducing these costs must be considered.
Here are some of the ways this can be achieved.

Earlier this week, I attended Greentech Innovations, a conference focused on completing the transition to a green economy.
Over the next few weeks, I'll be writing a series of articles that chronicle the the detailed information presented there on a wide variety of topics. They will appear here, but also in Energy & Capital and Green Chip Stocks.
Today, I want to begin with a broad view of a cleantech road map that provides a glimpse of what the future of energy will look like.

If you've been reading these pages for any healthy chunk of time, you know where we stand on oil.
There's a finite amount of it. We've used about half. And the other half or so will be increasingly expensive and difficult to extract and refine, ultimately resulting sustained supply shortage scenario.
Those in the know would call this Peak Oil.
Nano Petroleum, Gas and Petro-Chemical Industries Conference: “Providing Nano-Powered Solutions" (Official Site)
Industrial Gas Turbines (Official Site)
Overview
This two-day course provides an introduction to the basic technology of gas turbines and their operation. A wide range of industrial gas turbine types along with their application today is covered from heavy duty to aeroderivative. The major components as well as their auxiliary systems are explained and illustrated. Advanced technologies such as low NOx, fuel control and performance monitoring are covered.

"Net energy is a (mostly) irrelevant, misleading and dangerous metric," says Professor Bruce Dale, editor-in-chief of Biofuels, Bioresources and Biorefining (Biofpr) in the latest issue of the journal published today.
Net energy is a metric by which some scientists attempt to assess the sustainability and ability of alternative fuels to displace fossil fuel but recent debate in Biofpr shows that scientists are undecided on its merits as a tool.

How to Get a Piece of Your Own Wind Farm
Now, more than ever, is the time to invest in wind energy.
Fresh off an Obama win, which will bring with it renewed energy policy and a new sense of energy responsibility, new renewable energy projects are destined to take root.
What's more, many of the related stocks have significantly sold off over the past six months to a year, and now offer attractive price tags.

It's Tangible, Not Tangential
Many people are under the misguided preconception that green is a ghost—an unattainable ideal that can be discussed and wished for, but never actually executed.
They're wrong. Really wrong.
It's happening now. Right now. Even in the face of what anyone with a microphone is calling "the worst financial disaster since the Great Depression," or some other hyperbolic negative superlative.

The twin pressures of climate change and the reliance on imported oil from politically unstable regions of the globe both point to a need to transform the way that the US sources, generates, and uses power. To that end, the search engine giant Google (which is developing itself some impressive green credentials) has issued a plan, Clean Energy 2030, that lays out a possible future for the energy and transportation sectors that promises to cut CO2 emissions, reduce dependence on foreign fuel imports, and save the economy billions over the next 22 years.

Where's the Next Half a Trillion Dollar Opportunity?
The clean energy market in China will be worth $186 billion in about two years' time. Clean energy in China will be worth $555 billion—or over half a trillion!—in the next twenty years.
Knowing this, the U.S. government has been leading a clean energy and environment "trade mission" to China.
