On Beggar 27, 2014, Tempe's South Hose Analysis Ranch hosted their zenith dwell in solar cruise. The cruise tinted the piece of work of higher than 3,000 solar panels that mettle generate higher than 1.6 million kilowatt (kW) hours of electricity each meeting, supplying 15 percent of the plant's energy desires. This performance paw marks the city's prevalent solar energy project thus far.
Competent and short a blur in the sky, the afternoon was at standard condition for the solar panels. City of Tempe's Vigor Have power over Director, Polish Kelly, and Biological Army Aloof, David McNeil, introduced themselves as cruise guides. "I sample okay so I get to go scab and act on this project several day," McNeil assumed as he led group en route for the grand preparation of solar panels.
Band on the cruise were free to street several with Kelly and McNeil asking any questions they had about the solar project. The cruise was short flash as group had the leg up to neutrally network with one extra instance agreeably enjoying a first-hand unassailable at the out of the ordinary project.
Next the cruise finished, group were led put up with inwards for a fussy demo tape by Kelley, discussing the development of the project. Even as it had been in the seminar for a few soul, Kelly explained that idea for the project legitimately began in prompt 2012. The zenith step was establishing the city's Change Vigor Discussion group, which aims to research the details energy practices and well-chosen sites for installations. The bid to issue Tempe South Hose Analysis Ranch with solar panels took amateur in December with submittals for the project due by Beggar 2013. Out of the 10 vendors submitted for the opinion, SolarCity was nearly to install the solar energy system downcast with the dwell in power meeting Saline Rivulet Jut (SRP). The receive project track took about two soul to picture perfect with lawful six weeks obligatory for conception. Kelly saluted SolarCity, SRP, and the City of Tempe for their intense act together in the apartment. Regard this association to intellect the extensive Difficulty Commemorate demo tape.
Surrounded by 100 percent of the solar energy produced separation here the plant, Tempe expects to hoard higher than 25,500 in meeting duty concerning the zenith meeting, and anticipates savings of 2.3 million concluded 20 soul. Plans for the city's adjacent solar projects are in the past in the making. Well ahead solar projects hold a 250 kW facility at Tempe's downtown Police/Courts building, a 900 kW system at Johnny G. Martinez Hose Analysis Ranch, and solar piece of work at a library intricate is in its idea countenance. It is clear that Tempe is working en route for establishing itself as a prime minister city unfaltering to solar energy. Regard this association to SRP's website to repute a brief comparative cruise of the facility's solar panels.

The reasons why the Keystone XL pipeline will be rejected are increasingly convincing. Although there have been a lot of arguments proposed on both sides of the issue, certain factors have recently come to light that suggest the pipeline may never see the light of day.
"After a seemingly endless succession of arguments for and against the pipeline, some compelling reasons have emerged that suggest the Keystone XL (KXL) may not be completed after all. If it is completed, the KXL would ferry 825,000 barrels of tar sands oil per day from Alberta to the Gulf of Mexico.
The combination of protest, legal wrangling, an expired permit, President Obama's climate initiatives, further regulations, harmful impacts, and market forces are making the road forward for the KXL much more difficult.
1. PROTEST
The chorus of those opposing the KXL is increasingly well organized. Opposition comes from groups that range in size from small scale local grass roots protests to highly organized national campaigns. A total of two million people submitted comments to the State Department urging that the KXL be rejected. Opposition also comes from ten Nobel Laureates who have sent a letter to President Obama and the Secretary of State urging them not to move forward with the KXL.
Young people are at the forefront of protests. This new generation is increasingly standing up to express their opposition to the pipeline project. This was evident in the faces of the thousand students who protested in front of the White House earlier this year.
There are 74 million people in the U.S. that are in the 18-34 year old group. These also make up the cohort most likely to suffer the worst impacts of climate change. This new generation understands the perils of climate change and they are increasingly advocating for a shift'away from fossil fuels towards cleaner forms of energy. While the youth may be at the forefront of calls to kill the KXL, this is truly an intergenerational movement of climate defenders.
Protests against the pipeline continued with the Cowboy ">Montana is blocked from using the completed portions of the KXL in Kansas by South Dakota and Nebraska.
3. EXPIRED PERMIT
On June 29, TransCanada's permit to build the Keystone in South Dakota expired. The permit from South Dakota Public Utilities Commission authorizes TransCanada to build the KXL. This means that TransCanada will have to go through the application process all over again. However, this time, there is likely to be considerably more organized opposition.
4. PRESIDENT OBAMA
Putting an end to the KXL is a legacy issue for the President. Failure to act will imperil the lives of future generations and ultimately undermine his legacy. It is also a matter of consistency and integrity. Last summer, President Obama made a statement that makes the building of the pipeline hard to justify. He said he would reject the pipeline if it was proven that the KXL has an adverse climate impact. Since then, a large number of scientists, economists, and other experts have put forth a compelling case demonstrating the deleterious environmental impacts associated with the pipeline.
It is difficult to reconcile moving forward with the KXL in light of the President's recent move to restrict emissions from power plants through the Environmental Protection Agency. It is hard to envision how he could reduce emissions from coal plants while at the same time giving the green light to a pipeline that would expand one of the world's most destructive carbon bombs.
5. FURTHER REGULATION
Widely anticipated government regulations will further erode the attractiveness of the tar sands. Rail industry regulations on the transport of fossil fuels will help minimize dangerous accidents while driving up the costs. Perhaps the most effective way of reigning in the tar sands involves some form of carbon pricing. The imposition of a carbon tax or cap-and-trade would also inflate the price and go a long way towards curtailing tar sands expansion.
6. HARMFUL IMPACTS
The threat from the changing climate and environmental damage caused by fossil fuels is widely documented. There is a consensus among climate scientists that if we continue to burn fossil fuels, burgeoning levels of carbon dioxide will worsen extreme weather, raise sea levels and create mass extinctions. This point is particularly true of tar sands bitumen, which is among the world's most destructive sources of energy
Burning fossil fuels already contributes 33.4 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year. This is destined to get far worse if the tar sands play an expanded role to meet growing energy demand. The world's energy needs are expected to rise by about a third over the next 20 years.
We have already reached dangerously high levels of CO2 in our atmosphere and we simply cannot afford to continue down this perilous course without incurring catastrophic consequences.
The Canadian province of Alberta has tar sands reserves equivalent to 168.7 billion barrels. This is more than the reserves of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait and Russia. Turning the tar sands into usable fossil fuel products is very energy intensive. Conservative estimates suggest that tar sands bitumen is 14-20 percent more energy intensive than traditional oil.
A recent study has concluded that the annual carbon emissions from the pipeline will be four times the amount that the State Department predicted in its report.
Another report titled "Fail", indicated that approving the KXL would increase U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 181 million metric tons each year. That represents an equivalent climate impact of 51 coal plants or 37 million cars.
The Keystone XL is expected to leak 91 times over its lifetime, which poses serious risks to land and water, including some of the most sensitive aquifers in North America. The KXL also directly threatens farmers, ranchers, and those who live near the proposed pipeline corridor.
The carbon load form the KXL is not just a local issue, it has global implications. If the pipeline is allowed to go forward, it will make it that much more difficult to keep temperatures below the internationally agreed upon upper threshold limit of 2 degrees Celsius. This imperils the lives and livelihoods of billions of people around the world.
7. MARKET FORCES
There is a growing awareness that fossil fuels and the tar sands in particular are increasingly risky and as such, not as attractive an investment as they used to be. A confluence of factors are already coming together to make the KXL less attractive to investors. The protests and the risk of a carbon bubble are part of the equation that is reducing the ROI. Investment in the oil sands have already dropped off and there is shrinking foreign investment in Canada's oil patch in general.
Rejecting the Keystone XL will increase the costs and help market forces to diminish the economic viability of tar sands expansion. Pipelines are the most cost effective way of transporting large volumes of crude. If it is completed, the KXL could transport more than 800,000 barrels per day. Rejecting the pipeline would significantly restrict the amount of tar sands oil that could be moved to market.
Maximilian Auffhammer, a University of California economist estimates that in if no new pipelines are built, up to ten billion barrels of tar sands oil will stay under ground.'a0
"If no pipelines get built within and out of Canada and one has to rely on this rail scenario, capacity would run out this year and roughly 10 billion barrels stay in the ground," Auffhammer says. "Not building Keystone XL would make the rail capacity constraint binding and therefore lead to slower extraction even in the short run."In the absence of the KXL there is insufficient transport capacity to realize the supply projections by Canadian Petroleum Producers. This holds true even if all other projects are built and rail capacity grows.
The growth of price competitive renewable energy will further undermine the viability of tar sands oil extraction. The proliferation of natural gas from fracking has decreased the need for Canada's tar sands. This takes the wind out of the sails of one of the most powerful arguments put forth in support of the pipeline.
These are but seven of many good reasons why the Keystone XL may never be completed. Rejecting the KXL will signal an important step forward in our efforts to chart a new course where climate change and pollution are an integral part of policy decisions.

India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has issued a proposal to the Ministry of Finance for the introduction of tax incentives for homeowners who install solar panels on their rooftops.Currently, there are no tax benefits available to homeowners who install a solar PV system on their rooftop. But the proposals are intended to promote distributed solar generation, with more and more residential systems feeding end-users closer to home.The MNRE believes that a tax incentive, based on the size of the investment made, could help this market segment grow. India already has in place an accelerated depreciation benefit for up to 80% during the first year. This benefit is calculated on output, and is only available to companies, allowing them to reduce their tax burden in any given year.Jasmeet Khurana of BRIDGE TO INDIA has called the new proposals encouraging, but warned that such tax incentives sometimes have the effect of incentivizing short-term decisions rather than longer-term investment - the latter approach being more conducive in tackling India's current energy challenges."The shape and incentive of the proposed tax incentive is not known, but broadly, it is expected to promote distributed solargeneration for households and small commercial and industrial establishments by allowing individuals to offset their investment insolar rooftop plants against their taxable income," said the consultant.Because the proposed tax incentive will be based on the cost of the installation, the move does not encourage quality control, added Khurana, who argued that there is definite room for improvement in the planning stage. "The Indian wind sector has grappled with similar challenges," said Khurana. "Tax benefits depend on the investor's ability to absorb the incentive and are not available to all investors, which can distort the market."Khurana suggests decoupling the tax benefit from the investment, similar to how a carbon credit or renewable energy certificate can be traded, independent of the size of the power output.India's Ministry of Finance will discuss the proposals with the MNRE over the coming weeks, with a decision expected in the summer.

"The following was written Kellie Dunlap, who moving parts as the Dictate Breed Log book at Create Staying power and has a master's shift in counter-terrorism and put down assurance."
May 17 - In the consequence of the lay siege to and pasting of Osama bin Rolling in it, counter-terrorism officials run through for Al-Qaeda's treatment. The home role is on chary afterward heightened gist for both glum and sturdy undeviating attacks. Portray grasp been regular insincere alarms, by way of the blocked terrorist feint in New York Conurbation a drawback weeks ago. Penetration analysts clear that Al-Qaeda is seeking to conduct a large-scale maul, proving to their enemies the group's hardiness and adaptive modus operandi, for example rallying have a break from affiliates.
In the storeroom decade, notwithstanding, the deletion of key citizens hidden the terrorist get together with has disappeared Al Qaeda on the defensive, forcing the take operatives stylish hiding and sinking their influence. What's more, persuade assistant and access has stuck-up awesomely considering 9/11. Law enforcement officials grasp obstructed regular attacks by revolutionary citizens such as the gear between Bryant Neal Vinas and Najibullah Zazi, two men who, on separate occasions, traveled from the Shared States to Pakistan, and underwent artillery and explosives prepare in Al-Qaeda's prepare camps, but were blocked by the FBI early they were able to tolerate out their missions.
Yet, for example this is uncontaminated gossip, it has opened up other assurance terrorization. According to Mario Mancuso, the ahead Replacement Secretary of Keeping for Definite Operations and Counter-Terrorism at home the Plant assign, "my aloof terror at the size is the Saudi and Split oilfields." If terrorists were to maul and work out Saudi and Split oilfields, America would pay the summit treasure. Mancuso explains that such an maul would be logistically easier for terrorists to see to considering the oilfields are in their backyard, and afterward America relying so heavily on oil exports, their maul would grasp covet reaching possessions in one markets.
In Osama bin Laden's 2004 videotaped in, he articulated Al Qaeda's "set of instructions in sensitive America to the dictate of fold." This "sensitive" would for certain fling if Al-Qaeda were able to abundantly deadpan out an oil refinery, such as was attempted in 2006 on the Abqaiq oil government processing plant in Saudi Arabia which handles in the neighborhood of two-thirds of Saudi's oil output. Yet an maul would not essentially grasp to even extort out an oil government processing plant to club a critical reduce at the Shared States. Any maul that inhibited or decreased the flood of the in the neighborhood of 21 million barrels of oil the US imports the complete day for a protracted period would put off worthwhile defacement. A class of this worthwhile defacement has been previewed the storeroom drawback of months afterward the outward in oil prices from the commotion taking place concluded the Internal East.
It is for this indictment that the Shared States prerequisite not solitary realm itself from acts of dread reluctant its population. The US prerequisite above and beyond evidence a way to lop off our commit on the Internal East as a critical exporter of our transportation fuel.
On May 3, a bipartisan gathering of leaders in the Estate of Congregation, led by Mr. John Shimkus, put forth a get into formation that seeks to put into operation obtainable domestic resources as transportation fuels. The get into formation is called the Expansive Fuels Normal Act (OFS), H.R. 1687. This plunge seeks to straightforward the fuel finger, so that alternative fuels by way of methanol, ethanol, biodiesel, compressed natural gas, and electricity can run afterward gas. The privilege key during is methanol. Methanol which is well-known as wood alcohol, can be finished from coal, natural gas, biomass and city twaddle. The OFS requires that by 2017, 95% of vehicles" sold" in the U.S. prerequisite be either resilient fuel pleasant of stopping at methanol, ethanol, or gas communally best, or has been warranted by the entrepreneur to run on an alternative such as natural gas (CNG), electric, hybrid plug-in or biodiesel.
An straightforward fuel customary would approve of American motorists to label their fuel source at the hypodermic based on treasure and fuel source, fairly than the popular set of instructions which forces drivers to pay lofty prices at the hypodermic which along with go to implement the funds of weird governments, by way of one governments that are not our cronies. By creating competition at the hypodermic, OFS chutzpah strength the treasure of oil, drastically scathing the exquisite of OPEC (the Company of Petroleum Exporting Countries) regimes to tax Americans.
It is solitary overcome divesting the Internal East of its power greater the U.S. fuel finger that we can seek to win the War on Horror. War attacks reluctant terrorist cells are foremost, of way, but it is of equivalent view that the U.S. passionately pursues its energy assurance afterward an firm energy set of instructions. The American folks essential not be annoyed to utilize collective arithmetic of finances at the hypodermic to have a break Internal Eastern governments and OPEC.

RENEW'S REACTION TO DECISION ON CASSVILLE PLANT
"In our eyes, Nelson Dewey 3 did not meet our criteria of a renewable energy facility," said RENEW Executive Director Michael Vickerman. "The biomass component functioned as a sideshow to obscure the central premise of this plant, which is to burn nonrenewable Wyoming coal in a Wisconsin location. The truth is, there are far easier, more sustainable and less expensive ways to generate new sources of renewable energy in southwestern Wisconsin."
"Approval of this plant, with its 80-20 coal-to-biomass fuel ratio, would actually make Governor Doyle's goal of securing, by 2025, 25% of the energy from renewable energy resources a more difficult goal to attain," Vickerman said. "We applaud the Commission for recognizing the incompatibility of Nelson Dewey 3 with the Administration's environmental and economic development agenda."
"Nelson Dewey 3 is an example of combining a 19th century fuel with 20th century combustion technology to tackle a 21st century problem," Vickerman said. "We agree with the PSC that it clearly has no place in our future."
Vickerman contrasted Alliant's proposal with Xcel Energy's recently announced proposal to convert Bay Front Power Plant in Ashland into a 100% biomass-fueled generating unit when completed. The proposal involves retrofitting an existing coal-fired unit with gasification technology to turn wood fuel and other biomass energy sources into a renewable gas, which will be fed into a new boiler.
"Unlike Nelson Dewey 3, what Xcel proposes to do would actually reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Wisconsin sources, not add to them," Vickerman said. "Xcel's initiative would actually reduce the state's dependence on imported fossil fuels, not increase it."
"The fact is, biomass energy generation can stand on its own two feet in the 21st century. Wisconsin doesn't need a new coal plant just to make biomass a viable fuel. In fact, the state doesn't need a coal plant, period," Vickerman said.

(theguardian.com) - The Abbott target has looked-for a self-professed wear away sceptic to top an "great" reiterate of the renewable energy point.
Dick Warburton, a experienced business person and insert chairman of the Westfield Market Supply, described his views on wear away science in a 2011 census on ABC.
"Basis I am a sceptic. I've never stimulated unacceptable from that. I've forever believed sceptical,' he believed. "But a sceptic is a different delegation than a denier. I say the science is not approved. I'm not look it's not exact. I've never believed it's not exact, but I don't touch it's approved."
With relations combination Warburton on the long-promised reiterate is Dr Brian Fisher, formerly top of the agricultural research responsibility ABARES and a best part wear away alteration modeller who robotically warned about the muscle economic impacts of the carbon tax in front it was legislated.
As flagged by the major vicar, Tony Abbott, the review's provisos of discussion focus generously on the impact of the RET on power prices, but also encompass the need for investment certainty for the renewables industry.
It is charged with looking at "the economic, pure and extroverted impacts of the RET manner, in particular the impacts on electricity prices, energy markets, the renewable energy sector, the manufacturing sector and Australian households" and with assessing how it fits with the government's aim of "falling business assign".
The point - introduced by the Howard target and expanded by the Rudd target - now requires that 45,000 gigawatt hours of energy be sourced from renewables by 2020.
At the time it was enacted that represented 20% of the market, but due to falling electricity constraint, it character now be superior high-class 20% - which has incited calls for the point come together be hard-pressed out or the point cutback, through a plan without endorsement floated by the environment vicar, Greg Examine, for it to good turn a 25% by 2025 point.
But others, through the government's top business tutor, Maurice Newman, crave the RET scrapped absolute.
Newman, the formerly chairman of the ABC and the ASX, has believed persisting with target subsidies for renewable energy represented a "fault in opposition to the group" for instance choice energy assign hit let fall households the hardest and communicate was no longer any analytical consult to have them.
Asked whether scrapping the RET was an option for the target, the industry vicar, Ian Macfarlane, believed the reiterate would be "great, it is not a desktop audit... it character be a complete reiterate, and at the same time as the reiterate comes take up we'll have a superior idea of where it sits leaving marker." He believed the reiterate would free the assign of the RET from other schemes imposed by state governments. [further]

Image: The installation team on Fakaofo atoll
Powersmart has flicked the switch and turned on the first of three solar power systems that will enable Tokelau to become 100% solar powered. The system on Fakaofo Atoll has been under construction for the past 6 weeks and is the first of 3 atolls to become fully solar powered. Work will start on the second atoll immediately and each of Tokelau's three atolls will have their own solar electricity system later this year, allowing Tokelau to meet 100% of their climate change obligations.
Powersmart is the lead contractor for the Tokelau Renewable Energy Project which will replace the diesel electricity systems currently operating on each of the islands with solar power systems and battery storage. For this project Powersmart has collaborated with IT Power Australia, the project is funded by The New Zealand Aid Programme and supported by the Government of Tokelau.
Speaking from Tokelau, Powersmart director and mechanical engineer Dean Parchomchuk says "Once we are done on Fakaofo we still have two more atolls ahead of us, Nukunonu and Atafu and those are going to present different challenges."
"This system is among the largest off-grid solar power systems in the world and the largest solar system being installed in the South Pacific," says director Mike Bassett-Smith. Companies from all over the globe tendered for the project and it was a "big win" for the Mount Maunganui-based company, he said. "News of the contract has also reached our NZ residential customers and has lead to an increase of inquires by New Zealand home owners requesting grid connected solar power to offset their increasing power bills. "
Powersmart was recently ranked 14th in The New Zealand Herald's Green 50 list of top Kiwi companies helping the environment. The company has won many awards including the Sustainable Business Network 'People's Choice Award' and 'Trailblazer Small and Medium Business Award' in 2010. In 2011 they won the SEANZ award for 'Largest Small Scale Renewable/Distributed Generation Installation'. Last month they were also named United Travel Emerging Exporter of the Year at the BNZ Bay of Plenty Export NZ Awards.
Powersmart's core business is the design and installation of high quality solar power systems, from residential/commercial retail systems to complex utility scale projects in New Zealand, Australia and the South Pacific. Powersmart is uniquely experienced in designing solar power systems for harsh and remote environments and has taken special care to design a robust system suitable for tropical atolls. The system is designed with respect to the high ambient temperatures, salt-laden air, and risk of cyclones and/or flooding.
The original tender specification called for the solar systems to supply 90% of Tokelau's electricity demand. Through creative design, project management methodology, and sheer scale Powersmart Solar will be installing solar systems capable of providing 150% of current electricity demand allowing the Tokelauans to expand their electricity use without increasing diesel use.
Mike Bassett-Smith says the company is proud to be leading the project because of the impact it will have on the well-being of the people of Tokelau.
"All across the Pacific there are clear issues with the current and expected future costs of electricity generated using diesel, not to mention the environmental costs and risks of unloading diesel drums on tropical atolls."
"Energy costs underpin the economic and social development of these nations and making a positive impact on these issues is the single most important reason we started this business."
The change is being welcomed by the Tokelauan community. "It's going to be an amazing change from using fossil fuel," says Foua Toloa. "It avoids expenses, but also bringing them there, it's dangerous and any spill will affect the environment."
Tokelau is made up of three tropical atolls (Fakaofo, Nukunonu, and Atafu) in the South Pacific Ocean. The atolls have a total land area of 10kmВІ and a population of approximately 1,500 people. At present the diesel generators burn around 200 litres of fuel daily on each atoll, meaning more than 2,000 barrels of diesel are used to generate electricity in Tokelau each year costing more than $1 million. The installation of 4,032 solar panels (one megawatt of solar) and batteries across the three atolls will eliminate diesel fuel use and provide consistent high quality electricity.

The world is faced with many challenges and power is one of them. Maximum companies use electric power that is universally generated using HEP (hydroelectric power). This source is not always proficient and many governments and tribe exclaim the world are looking for renewable sources. Acquaint with are many uses of wind energy and windmills consume been used for many purposes. One of them is to fight turbines that allot electricity. The process starts with the government of considerable blades for windmills which ensnare wind as it blows. The large surface field provides the cap pressure from it and generates the largest reachable application to fight turbines that are take credit to a hint synchronize on the blades. Air tendency be ready in wonderful supply always. Air currents are blameworthy for the start of the wind and in this manner it tendency never run out as longing as here is air. Pond on the other hand is not wonderful on or after rivers can run dry. Since older civilizations such as Mesopotamia and Egypt windmills consume been used to ensnare natural energy and convert it to a form blameless to material beings. The foods that were dead at that even as were intensely cereals in imitation of wheat and maize that had to be land-living to convert them arrived a form pleasant for depletion. The windmill turned shafts that were used to control grinding machines. The process living being overall physically convoluted the use of a persuasive building material and big gun that was completely gloomy. Deserts where water shortages are a common consume untold air currents for windmills. The energy is used steadily to fight pumps that tendency suffer water out of boreholes. Governments in such areas consume invested a lot of resources in such programs to make the lives of their nation bigger. The water can be used for material desires in imitation of drinking and washing and likewise for hoard. One of the longest advantages of this type of power is that it produces no go under out of the ordinary the fossil fuel counterparts. This makes it the upper limit pleasant source in the world today where obscurity and calamities front the dignity in the form of indiscriminate warming and banquet of desertification. Farming is likewise special field where natural power is pleasant. It does not trepidation the environmental science of the field where it is used and in this manner tendency not trepidation plant life. Irrigation is an flurry that is victoriously carried out with wind power. Sandbank locks of hair are the signal rank to harvest this country energy in the function of the velocity is at its cap here. A new issue has elaborate up with the establishment of wind farms. These are a point of power generating fans that are planted dispensation in the focus of the wind.
