Last year, the US Senate passed an energy bill (HR 4) that contained the first-ever national renewable electricity standard, which requires major electric companies1 to gradually increase sales of electricity from renewable energy sources (wind, solar, bioenergy, and geothermal) to 10 percent by 2020. The newly elected 108th Congress should revisit the renewable electricity standard during the current national energy debate in order to move our nation away from polluting fossil fuels and toward a safer, cleaner, and more sustainable energy future. Increased competition from renewable energy leads to lower natural gas prices that offset the incremental costs of meeting the renewable energy standard in the state. red-072000 energy, wind, installation, resources, production, biomass, plants, power, capacity, solar, Sudan, wind pumps, water, fuel, biogas. In recent years, Cuba has increased efforts to exploit renewable energy sources and reduce its dependence on oil. The existing installed capacity in the sugar cane sector provides the best nearterm option for replacing oil. So far, two wind pumps have been manufactured locally at a cost of US $2 500 each, and initial test results indicate that the design has room for improvement. The available solar energy can be utilized for water heating and desalination to replace fuelwood, which in turn eases pressures on forests and eliminates the associated pollution, along with the need to collect and transport the fuel. qfacts_e164PCP-732002-6674 http://www2.nrcan.gc.ca/es/erb/CMFiles/qfacts_e164PCP-732002-6674.pdf energy, electricity, water, Canada, turbines, heat, wind, solar, heating, buildings, gas, pump, power, waste, plant.

We all know how hot it can get sitting in the classroom in the middle of May or June on a sunny day. However, many buildings can benefit from this energy in the fall and winter. One way to harvest this energy is to generate electricity by trapping ocean water in reservoirs at high tide and release it through hydro-electric turbines as the tide goes out.

More renewable energy in Illinois means more jobs, rural economic development, and a cleaner environment. Uses the existing definition of renewable energy resources in Illinois law, which includes energy from wind, solar, biomass, and other alternative sources of environmentally preferable energy. The Illinois Commerce Commission would oversee implementation of the RPS. A "win-win-win" for farmers, the state's economy and our environment by: (a) providing a new income stream for farmers who either lease sites on their land or own wind turbines, or grow biomass "energy crops"; (b) creating jobs and enhancing rural economic development; and (c) improving environmental quality for everyone. whitepaperversion7 renewable energy, Berkshire, community, Williamstown, members, BREC, collaboration, technology, education, wind, forum, planning, environment, Berkshire region, speakers. The Collaborative is a committee of dedicated individuals representing local and regional environmental, educational, community and business interests (see attached list). Staff members from the Center for Ecological Technology (CET), a non-profit community organization, facilitate the meetings and coordinate the group's activities. In the fall of 1999, representatives from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MTC) invited individuals representing a range of environmental, educational, and community interests in the Berkshires to attend a meeting to discuss an upcoming public education forum about renewable energy. This support was provided in the form of a $50,000 grant and the active involvement of MTC staff in BREC activities. April 18, 2002 - Public forum about Wind Energy in Williamstown -- Prospects and Issues, co-sponsored with the Williamstown Planning Board and the Williams College Center for Environmental Studies. paper6 renewable energy, funds, support, Wisconsin, wind projects, technologies, education, assistance, customers, Montana, renewable development board, installing, administrators, Oklahoma, NCAT. A number of U.S. states have recently created funds to promote and develop renewable energy. Wisconsin -- Funds used to Support Education, Training, and Technical Assistance In 1998, the Wisconsin Department of Administration began funding a pilot, renewable energy program called the Demand-Side Applications of Renewable Energy (DSARE). One of the main goals of the Wisconsin program has been creating educational materials on renewable energy technologies and policies for the general public and other interested groups. Montana -- Funds support Photovoltaics (PV) and Small Wind Projects Montana's largest investor-owned utility, NorthWestern Energy has collected approximately $9 million a year for the past 2-3 years from a systems benefit charge paid for by their customers. hoffmaneeremini http://www.me3.org/projects/dereg/hoffmaneeremini.pdf energy, respondents, Minnesota, electricity, businesses, survey, policy, restructuring, deregulation, renewable energy, Energy-Efficient Economy, support, electric utility, attitudes, conservatives. University of St. Thomas Proposals to deregulate the electric utility industry may have serious effects on energy-efficiency and renewable energy businesses. A recent survey provides insights on what those involved in the industry think about proposals to change the structure of the electricity system. In general, those states with high-cost electricity have been aggressively pursuing deregulation. Many others, particularly low-cost states such as Minnesota, have been much more reluctant to fundamentally alter the way in which electricity is generated and delivered. As can be seen in Figure 1, respondents are almost evenly split between those who support and those who oppose the idea of deregulation. Unlike the prior studies, however, few of the respondents were undecided.

NREL has increased its use of electronic communications, supporting the Lab's move toward more sustainable business practices and reducing paper documents. Private industry formula -- workers' compensation costs in dollars per hour worked. By using this program for recruitment, NREL has decreased hiring time and associated costs. · NREL partnered with minority businesses for subcontract awards, which contributed to the nomination for the 2000 DOE EEO/Diversity Award and Colorado Women's and Minority Chamber Coalition Diversity Leaders Award. 2003_RESTRUCTURING_&_RENEWABLES_PAGE_2 http://www.mrenergy.com/ClassLibrary/Page/Information/DataInstances/17/Files/915/2003_RESTRUCTURING_&_RENEWABLES_PAGE_2.PDF renewable energy, electric utilities, wind, wind generation, state law, Dakota, Legislature, tax incentives, Dakota consumers, regulatory, Legislative efforts, retail sales, Minnesota, wind energy development, AEP. State law requires electric utilities to implement an "Alternate Energy Purchase" (AEP) Program, using Iowa-based generation, by January 1, 2004. Retail electric utilities must offer customers an opportunity to purchase, at cost, renewable energy beginning July 1, 2002, under a requirement commonly referred to as a "Green Pricing" Program. Minnesota took an early leadership role in wind energy by creating a 1.5¢ per kilowatt-hour state renewable energy production incentive (REPI) for the first 100 MW of installed capacity of small wind generation projects. No state law or regulatory measure requires electric utilities to offer renewable energy to North Dakota consumers. renewable_energy020828 energy, renewable energy, targets, Nations, countries, Internet, energy services, United States, efficiency, energy sources, opposes, standard, resources, partnerships, DOE. Johannesburg - A senior U.S. official at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) said August 28 that the United States strongly supports the use of renewable energy sources to bring energy services to people who now have no access, but opposes setting global targets for renewable energy. He said the best way to do this is through partnerships that enable countries to develop national energy strategies and financing packages for new, clean energy possibilities. Presently, three-quarters of the world's fisheries are fished to their sustainable levels or beyond. The agreement also calls on countries to ratify the United Nations Law of the Sea Treaty as well as the International Maritime Organization convention.
