I'm going to attempt to summarise the reasons why we should abandon nuclear power. I'll give a summary and then try and go into more depth.
1. The sourcing of uranium leaves a terrible legacy and can never be sustainable or carbon neutral. This is the elephant in the room that no one ever discusses.
2. Nuclear power stations can never be totally safe. Even though designers cater for every foreseeable event, it is the unforeseeable ones which have created the disasters of the last 50 years in Chernobyl, Fukushima and Three Mile Island and many other smaller ones
3. Nuclear waste remains radioactive for tens of thousands of years. It already costs in the UK lb3 billion or lb1000 per person per year to look after the existing legacy. How can it be safe, responsible or cost-effective to bequeath this to a distant and unknown future population?
4. It is not carbon neutral, or low carbon, but emits in its life-cycle about 30% of the carbon of gas generation, not including mining and looking after the radioactive tailings that results
5. It is highly centralised and so more vulnerable than a decentralised system
6. The nuclear industry has a reputation for secrecy and dissembling of the truth. This includes information about safety and costs which invariably rise. We need a power supply from sources we can trust.
7. We can satisfy our power needs from a mixture of existing and almost market ready renewable technologies, implementing the smart grid, low- and zero-carbon building design and refurbishment, better planning, more efficient transportation and other energy and resource efficiency.
8. New reactor designs are commercially unproven and improperly costed.
9. Uranium supplies will run out within 70 years - sooner as more plants are built. Why not invest instead in developing the renewable technologies whose fuel we will be able to use for much longer into the future?
10. Many power stations are on the coast. They will not be safe in 50 or 100 or more years' time when the sea level has risen as the Antarctic ice cap and glaciers melt.
11. Renewable energy (the source of it, i.e. the fuel) is free, and there is plenty of solar power - which fuels the wind, the waves, the tides and biomass growth - to supply the energy needs of the planet many times over. This means operating costs are in general lower as there is no fuel requirement. If only resources and subsidies currently channeled into nuclear and fossil fuels were channeled into renewable energy technologies, we could easily meet our needs this way.
Below, find some notes supporting some of the above statements. I will hopefully add to these in future posts.
SAFETY
None of the four Generation III designs submitted to the UK regulators for pre-licensing assessment have been proven commercially; they are design concepts without working prototypes to test their safety.
NUCLEAR WASTE
Are we expected to believe our energy companies will be around in any time over a few decades hence, for thousands of years, to pay for the full cost of management of the new radioactive waste produced?
How many companies are here now that were here 500 years ago let alone tens of thousands? None.
Existing nuclear waste is currently managed by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. Its 2010-11 budget is lb2.8bn, of which lb1.69 billion comes from the taxpayer via DECC. DECC's overall budget in this year is lb2.9bn. This means that the cost of managing existing radioactive waste is a staggering 58% of the Department's total expenditure.
The cost of looking after the waste for each new power station is estimated to be about lb1 billion.
URANIUM MINING
The World Nuclear Authority admits that in "emerging uranium producing countries" there is frequently no adequate environmental health and safety legislation, let alone monitoring.
It is considerately proposing a Charter of Ethics containing Principles of Uranium Stewardship for its members to follow. But this is a self-policing voluntary arrangement. Similarly, the International Atomic Energy Agency's Safety Guide to the Management of Radioactive Waste from the Mining and Milling of Ores are not legally binding on operators.
To produce enough uranium fuel - about 25 tonnes - to keep your average (1300 MW) reactor going for a year entails the extraction of half a million tonnes of waste rock and over 100,000 tonnes of mill tailings. These are toxic for hundreds of thousands of years.
The conversion plant will generate a further 144 tonnes of solid waste and 1343 cubic metres of liquid waste. To supply the number of power stations worldwide expected to be online in 2020 would mean generating 50 million tonnes of toxic radioactive residue every single year.
Uranium mining has often been a disaster for indigenous peoples. this includes as just one example the people in Niger around Areva's mines. The area has suffered conflict for ownership due to the huge profits involved, and the water table has dried up leaving cattle dead and farmers destitute. Radioactive contaminated goods have been found in street markets in villages.
British Energy is responsible for purchasing uranium in the UK.
COSTS
Insurance: Nuclear plant operators have limited liability in the case of an accident. Any cost over lb700m is covered by the taxpayer. Are taxpayers prepared to take on board the full insurance liabilities, which in the case of Chernobyl have already run to several tens of billions?
The cost of the new generation plant being constructed in Finland, which was alleged to be cost-effective and show what could be done by the new generation designs, has soared during the construction phase.
The same is true of its sister plant in Flamanville in France, now under construction.
NUCLEAR IS NOT LOW CARBON
Nuclear power produces roughly one quarter to one third of the carbon dioxide as the delivery of the same quantity of electricity from natural gas.
This is according to the Integrated Sustainability Analysis (ISA) by The University of Sydney, which concludes that the greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity of nuclear power varies within the range 130-160 g/kWh.
A second estimate (below) by Storm van Leeuwen and Smith (SLS) is higher because it reflects best practice, especially for waste treatment and disposal, and because the reality of errors and problems in the nuclear cycle typically raises the energy cost well beyond the planned level. ISA's estimate includes all GHG emissions from the nuclear cycle.
Breakdown:
Construction: 12-35 CO2 g/kWh
Front end: 36 CO2 g/kWh
Back end: 17 CO2 g/kWh
Dismantling: 23-46 CO2 g/kWh
Total: 88-134 CO2 g/kWh
To compare: GHG emissions from gas-fired electricity generation are about 450 g/kWh.
By contrast, the U.K. Government's 2007 Nuclear Power Consultation accepts industry estimates that, across its whole life-cycle, nuclear power emits 7 - 22 g/kWh.
Additionally, no one can convince me that the mining and the care of the huge piles of tailings at uranium mines is carbon-free. It takes a lot of - almost certainly fossil-fuelled - energy to move that amount of rock and process the ore. But the carbon cost is often not in the country where the fuel is consumed - certainly in the case of the UK. So that's why it's called 'carbon free'.
THE THREAT OF RISING SEA LEVELS
The Met Office has said that rising sea-levels, increased wave height and increased storm surge height must all be considered in the planning of the UK's future nuclear stations.
Their report was commissioned by British Energy. It concludes future power plants will need to be further inland and may need added protection.
At Sizewell in Suffolk, for example, site of Britain's most modern reactor, the prediction is for the most severe storm surges to be 1.7 metres higher in 2080 than at present. But that's only if the Greenland ice sheet doesn't melt. If it does, much of it will be underwater.
At Dungeness in Kent, the storm surge increase could be up to 0.9 metres. Already this plant, which is sited on land only two metres above sea-level, is protected by a massive wall of shingle which needs constant maintenance in the winter. Waves erode so much of it that it needs to be topped up constantly with 600 tons of shingle every day.
RENEWABLE ALTERNATIVES
Britain doesn't need to build major new power stations to keep the lights on and maintain security, according to, for example, this report by independent consultants P"oyry.
Space and water heating counts for 83% of domestic energy use and about the same for office use. Together, offices and homes account for around 35% of UK energy use. Ie, 28% of total UK energy use.
Providing 40% of this by passive solar, solar water heating, heat pumps, domestic CHP, and woodchip/pellet boilers, would account for a significant proportion of the amount of power requirement as that required to compensate for the loss of old nuclear power stations.
It would have almost as great an impact in a shorter time scale and far cheaper but with little environmental impact than building new nuclear power stations, as well as creating more, sustainable jobs.
Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman has pitched herself against Government policy on energy-from-waste (EfW) plants by withdrawing support for such a plant in Kings Lynn, Norfolk.
At the same time, DECC, in its new consultation on the Renewables Obligation, is ignoring advice from its own consultants that EfW should receive no financial support and is instead proposing plants receive half a ROC of subsidy per megawatt generated.
Mrs Spelman took the unprecedented step yesterday of withholding lb169m of PFI credits from Norfolk County Council's project at Saddlebow, near King's Lynn, saying that she wanted more information about environmental impacts, the Council's waste strategy and a greater consensus that the plan should proceed amongst the local population.
The Conservative-controlled Council has reacted with fury, accusing her of causing "chaos".
Bill Borrett, its cabinet member for environment and waste, said: "After years of carefully following the criteria laid down, this apparent late moving of the goalposts has surprised and dismayed us.
"Worse, we are concerned it may lose Norfolk people as a whole a government grant worth a staggering lb169m."
In fact, a statement said they were expecting "in the region of lb500 million over 25 years".
The project is already suspended pending a High Court hearing on December 5th, brought by opponents, to determine whether it should be subject to a full Judicial Review.
The winning bid for the plant's construction, out of ten initial submissions, was from a consortium of Cory and American energy-from-waste specialist Wheelabrator.
Apart from domestic waste, the proposed plant would also process commercial waste that would otherwise go to landfill.
OPPOSITION
In her letter to the Council Mrs Spelman gives as the reason for her decision that she is not satisfied that its waste management strategy has popular support.
At the public enquiry stage, a record 2,592 responses were received, of which 2,524 (97.4%) objected to the incinerator and 27 (1%) supported it.
93 parish and town councils also responded, of which 61 (65.6%) were opposed and nine (9.7%) in favour.
Mrs Spelman's stance is supported by two local Tory MPs, Elizabeth Truss, and Henry Bellingham.
Bellingham and Kings Lynn Borough Council recently held a referendum on the topic in which 93% (65,000) voted against the proposal for economic, environmental and health reasons.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR EFW
Government waste policy is currently weighted in favour of incineration and uses PFI credits to support projects.
They have been allocated to 32 waste treatment plants (mostly, but not all, incinerators), and, although called credits, they do not have to be repaid, making them effectively grants.
The PFI credit for the proposed incinerator at King's Lynn is worth about lb40 per tonne.
A Government paper on EfW published in July notes that PFI credits worth lb2.48 billion have been committed to 37 waste projects.
There are additional projects in the application process, for which it is expected a further lb0.8 billion PFI credits will be awarded.
Norfolk Council also stands to benefit from landfill tax avoidance of lb56 per tonne, rising by lb8 per tonne for each of the next three years and an average of lb110 per tonne over the incinerator's 25 year life.
Then there would be the income from a gate fee of an estimated lb77/tonne and from the expected power generation from the Combined Heat and Power plant of 22MW of electricity and 20.4MW of heat, some of which will be used by a paper mill next door.
DECC REJECTS ADVICE ON SUPPORT FOR EFW
DECC has received evidence from consultants Arup that EfW should receive no financial support from Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs), but is choosing to ignore it.
In its latest consultation on proposals for the levels of banded support under the Renewables Obligation for 2013-17, published yesterday, it says that it is rejecting this advice on the grounds of supporting renewable energy and jobs, because EfW plants have high initial capital costs.
It is proposing that the support goes from the current 1 ROC, (costing lb8.7m per year from 2016/17 onwards) to 0.5 ROCs.
It also expresses hope that the level of renewable electricity generation capacity from energy from waste CHP could reach around 60-70MW by 2020, and around 100-130MW by 2030.
"This level of deployment could potentially generate in the region of 0.3-0.4TWh/y of renewable electricity by 2020 rising to around 0.6-0.8TWh/y in 2030", they say.
Critics say that such a policy locks the UK into an unsustainable route, and that such energy is not truly renewable.
By halting the Council's plans in Norfolk, it looks as though Mrs Spelman sides with these critics against DECC.
THE DILEMMA OF WASTE OR RECYCLE
The dilemma experienced by Norfolk is being felt in many cash-strapped councils around the country: if there is cash for EfW - why shouldn't they accept it?
410,000 tonnes of municipal rubbish is produced in Norfolk every year and the county has a recycling rate of 43%.
The incinerator would need 170,000 tonnes of waste every year for 25 years.
The Council calculates that after incineration of 170,000 tonnes, there is sufficient margin left of the 410,000 tonnes total to meet recycling targets.
But the waste hierarchy that is key to the Waste Review prioritises reduction, re-use and recycling, and it is likely that in the future ways of reducing the level of absolute rubbish will be found, making it hard to meet the national appetite for burnable waste should many of these plants be built.
Waste destroyed in an incinerator will be replaced, requiring new raw materials, manufacture, transport and packaging.
By contrast, reduction, reuse and recycling represent a win-win strategy. A number of cities in Europe have already achieved high levels (over 60%) of diversion of waste.
Moreover, Defra's own paper on "The Economics of Waste Policy" states that it is desirable that "waste is allocated to the various management options such that the social marginal cost of each option is equalised".
This is far from the case at the moment.
The social marginal cost includes the health and environmental cost of the plants.
HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 Updated October 2009 Version 2.0, lays out the monitoring and reporting criteria to operate a waste incineration facility.
It requires continuous monitoring of emissions to air but not of heavy metal, dioxin and furan emissions, which are only regulated by spot checks once or twice per year for 6-8 hours, under the Waste Incineration Directive.
Norfolk County Council has stated that "technology in today's modern energy from waste plants stops the formation of dioxins",
But the proposed plant does not use the latest technology which reduces dioxin production.
Opponents cite a 2008 dioxin breach from the Dundee incinerator, which they say illustrates how even a 'modern' energy from waste plant can still release dioxins over 100 times the legal limit.
Residents are also worried about smell, particulates (PM10 and PM2.5), and low level ozone.
The County Council has alleged that the incinerator would produce around one nine-hundredth of such emissions compared to other sources like traffic.
But this statistic is a national average, not a local observation.
Nationally, municipal EfW incinerators make a small contribution to the UK's total emissions because there aren't many of them.
And even the Environment Agency has identified bottom ash as potentially hazardous, which cannot be disposed of casually.
It seems that Caroline Spelman has found a way to make herself popular and support health and the environment.
But the prospects for energy-from-waste look entirely unclear.
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India could start installing 20,000 megawatts of solar power capacity as early as April after companies pledged to support the government's drive for clean energy, an official told Reuters.
Details of the plan, which has drawn commitments from U.S., German and Chinese companies, will be announced on Friday, said Upendra Tripathy, secretary of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
"We have got commitments from very established industry, both foreign and domestic for next year," he said in an interview at his office.
Foreign companies will be allowed to decide where they manufacture the required equipment, he said.
The rapidly falling cost of solar power, which is expected to reach parity with conventional energy by 2017, has ignited interest in its potential in India.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has looked to industry for help in funding what could be a 100 billion expansion in clean energy.
For its part, the government will have to find the land required to build the solar panels on.
Modi aims to make India one of the world's largest renewable energy markets, targeting 100,000 MW of output by 2022 from just 3,000 MW currently.
One megawatt can power roughly 1,000 U.S. homes although this varies widely, depending on the amount of heating or cooling needed, for example.
Despite more than 300 days of sunshine a year, India relies on coal for three-fifths of its energy needs while solar supplies less than 1 percent.
U.S.-based First Solar (FSLR.O) and SunEdison Inc (SUNE.N), Canadian Solar (CSIQ.O) and China's JA Solar (JASO.O) are among the companies keen to expand into India.
Yet analysts say India's target will be difficult to reach given the weak finances of electricity distribution companies that would buy in solar energy and the slow pace at which land for plants is made available.
"There's a lot of interest, but there are concerns as well," said Ajay Goel, chief executive of Tata Power Solar, one of India's largest solar manufacturers and a unit of Tata Power Ltd (TTPW.NS). "Who is buying the power and do they have the ability to pay?"

SOLAR IMPLUSE-2 TOOK OFF FROM ABU DHABI ON MONDAY AND SAFELY LANDED IN OMAN.
Solar Impulse-2 intends to be the first plane to fly around the globe fueled entirely by solar power and, so far, it has successfully completed the first leg of its journey, with Swiss pilot Andre Borschberg at its controls, taking off from Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates early Monday and safely landing in Muscat in Oman, 12 hours later.
DURING THE NEXT FIVE MONTHS IT WILL CROSS BOTH THE PACIFIC AND ATLANTIC OCEANS, FLYING FROM CONTINENT TO CONTENT.
Prior to taking off, Borschberg told BBC News that he was confident in the plane and in the journey, saying that "we have a very special aeroplane, and it will have to be to get us across the big oceans." Borschberg will eventually share pilot duties of the one-seater plane with Betrand Piccard, a fellow Swiss pilot.
Borschberg said that "We may have to fly for five days and five nights to do that, and it will be a challenge," but added that they have the next two months to train and prepare themselves, at which time they will be flying the legs to China.
Throughout the journey, the pilots intend to stop off at a variety of locations around the world, not only to rest and to maintenance the solar energy aircraft, but also to spread a campaigning message about the need for clean technologies for a clean future.
BY 2050, SOLAR POWER HAS BEEN PREDICTED TO BECOME THE LEADING SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY IN THE WORLD.
Based on the present cost of fossil fuel, the Deutsche Bank has forecasted that before 2020, solar will generate energy as inexpensively as gas in two thirds of the world. This may very well be the case considering that, in recent years, the price of solar panels dropped 70 percent and the price is expected to reduce by half again this decade.
As for the Solar Impulse project, it has already set many world records and will likely set more before its journey around the globe ends. The plane is equipped with 17,000 solar power cells, as well as energy-dense lithium-ion batteries to aid when flying at night. It has an extremely light weight design, weighing only 2.3 tons, in spite of having a wingspan wider than a 747 jumbo jet, at 72 meters (236 feet).

Celebrities are at it again - setting a few positive examples on energy and climate change issues. In New York, a number of famous names were spotted among over 300,000 taking part in the international People's Climate March on 21 September, including actors Mark Ruffalo and Edward Norton and author Evangeline Lilly.
Famous figures will always face charges of hypocrisy in advocating sustainable lifestyles and green infrastructure changes while jetting around the world, owning numerous properties etc, but they undoubtedly have a role in bringing issues into the mainstream that invite further investigation. Raising broad awareness is positive, but some celebrities are taking matters still further by putting their wealth behind their stated beliefs.
Legendary designer Dame Vivienne Westwood, for example, has put lb11million into the renewable energy crowd funding platform, Trillion Fund. Westwood is savvy to the blending of sustainable change and economic motivation involved:
"The aims of the fund are to redirect savings and investments that might otherwise go to fossil fuel companies through the hands of traditional fund managers into clean energy and other sustainable businesses instead...I'm glad to help pave a new, more inclusive path for environmentalism - one that recognises the right of individuals to also make a profit."
Electric vehicles are increasingly becoming the go-to transport option for celebs. Pop star Katy Perry recently spent over lb300,000 on top-of-the-range electric cars for the members of her not-inconsiderable entourage. Leonardo DiCaprio has gone further, though, launching a team in the Formula E electric racing series alongside others such as Richard Branson. The series has levelled the playing field in more than one way: all the drivers are driving the same car for the first season before teams can come up with their own models, and it's a unisex sport. Famous names are a Formula E feature outside team figureheads, with relatives of famous racing drivers Alain Prost, Nelson Piquet and Ayrton Senna just some of those doing the driving. There is a positive but pragmatic tone to the aims of the series, which chime nicely with the aims and lifestyles of the celebrity sustainability enthusiast:
"The championship centres around three core values of Energy, Environment and Entertainment and is a fusion of engineering, technology, sport, science, design, music and entertainment - all combining to drive the change towards an electric future."

S.C. Johnson Son Inc. commissioned two wind turbines Tuesday that are helping it rely almost entirely on its own power. The company built two turbines in the Village of Mount Pleasant, near its largest global factory, known as Waxdale. The turbines are 415 feet tall, equivalent to those at utility-scale wind farms that have been built in Wisconsin in recent years. They can generate about 15% of the energy for the factory, which is roughly the size of 36 football fields. S.C. Johnson has been moving to rely more on renewable energy as part of its pledge to cut greenhouse gas emissions from its operations, under the U.S. Envirionmental Protection Agency's Climate Leaders program. The Waxdale factory began using renewable energy when the company built a generator that's powered with landfill gas. A second generator burns natural gas. The late Sam Johnson, chairman emeritus of S.C. Johnson Son, had led the fight against construction of new coal-fired power plants in Oak Creek - taking to the streets of Racine to lead a rally against coal. Johnson lost that fight when the state Supreme Court approved construction of the 2.3 billion We Energies coal plant, but the company has continued to move to rely on its own power. "He would be thrilled," Johnson's son, Fisk Johnson, said Tuesday. Johnson is chairman and chief executive of the privately held consumer products manufacturer, maker of Glade, Pledge, Scrubbing Bubbles, Shout and other products. "These two windmills have been a personal passion of mine," he said. Not only do they help the company supply, on average, all of its own power needs, he said, but added they are "a giant visual reminder of the commitment we've made as a company to environmental progress." During a ceremony Tuesday morning, Fisk Johnson pressed a button on a laptop computer plugged in inside a tent beneath the turbines. That button sent a message to Vensys, the Germany-based turbine manufacturer, to connect the turbines to the power grid. They began turning, slowly at first, but then more robustly. The turbines can generate enough power to supply about 700 homes. Nodding to his mother, Imogene Powers Johnson, he said he was dedicating the turbines to his parents. EPA regional administrator Susan Hedman credited the company for its work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and its global sustainability programs. The two Mount Pleasant turbines will "add a bit more wind to Windex," she said. S.C. Johnson is the third wind project to be built this year -- all of which are being led by private companies rather than electric utilities. The others are the two-turbine Cashton Greens wind farm near La Crosse and the six turbines being erected in Verona by medical records software developer Epic Systems Inc. Source

INDIA is set to introduce an offshore wind policy targeting 1 gigawatt by 2020, seeking to mimic Europe's success in generating power at sea.The Ministry of New and RENEWABLE ENERGY will seek cabinet approval for the policy shortly, according to Joint Secretary Alok Srivastava. "Development of the technology has made offshore wind projects viable now," Srivastava said by phone yesterday.By 2018, the cost of electricity from offshore windmills will equal that of land-based projects in Asia's second-biggest turbine market, he said. Wind farms in some states in India are generating power cheaper than new coal plants.India, which has installed 21 gigawatts of wind power, is looking to expand at sea as the best sites on land fill up, while poor roads limit the introduction of larger, more productive turbines. It's seeking advice from the European Union because the bulk of the world's offshore farms have been built in the North, Irish and Baltic Seas.The government plans to set up a new company by January to develop offshore projects, Srivastava said. State-owned generator NTPC Ltd. (NTPC), Power Grid Corp. (PWGR) of India Ltd., and a few others will form the business, which may start with 100 megawatts of demonstration projects along the coasts of GUJARAT and TAMIL NADu states, he said.India is also considering small, offshore farms for the LAKSHWADEEP, ANDAMAN AND NICOBAR islands to reduce their dependence on expensive diesel generators for power, he said.REFERENCE: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-09-12/india-offshore-wind-policy-to-target-1-gigawatt-by-2020.html

WAYS TO GET 2000 KWH PER MONTH UTILIZING SOLAR PANELS IN SAUNEMIN IL ILLINOIS You can determine the size of the solar system and the variety of necessary solar panels in Saunemin IL Illinois using a not so complicated algorithm. The numbers you need to put in the equation are your regular monthly electrical energy usage, the variety of peak sun hours every day, and the power of a photovoltaic panel.COMPUTING THE SOLAR SYSTEM SIZE FOR A 2000 KWH ENERGY USAGE To exemplify, lets start by assuming you need a photovoltaic panel system in Illinois that can create 2000 kwh per month. From the beginning, you ought to understand that 2000 kwh per month is a fairly a great deal of energy, and you would require an outstanding solar system to supply it. Although we use this number just for the sake of the exemplification, in case you do eat 2000 kwh per month, our guidance would be to take some energy reduction procedures and to stay connected to the electrical energy grid, simply in case the solar system can not keep up with the demand. Now, you need to find out for how many hours each day your system will certainly be able to produce enough electrical energy for your needs. The panels in SAUNEMIN ILLINOIS 61769 produce energy only when the sun is up in the sky, and it shines directly on them. During the night, the panels do not produce anything. In the early morning and at nights, when the sun is weak, the energy manufacturing is also insufficient. Depending upon the location where you live, there might be 4-6 hours of peak sunlight every day, when the system will produce the essential electrical power, and sometimes much more than you need. If you want to have 2000 kwh per month, it indicates you need to produce 2000/30 kwh every day, that is 66.66 kwh daily. Considering there are 4 hours of peak sun every day in your location, the solar system will certainly have to produce 66.66/ 4 = 16.66 kwh per hour, and that implies 16660 in watts. Now, different types of panels in Saunemin Illinois produce more or less energy watts. If you go with one that produces 150 watts, then you will require about 111 photovoltaic panels. Yes, that is a lot. To approximate the necessary space for such a solar system, you need to understand that, in order to produce 2000 kwh per month, you need a system of 24.8 kwp (kilowatt peak). Every 1 kwp requires about 100 s.f. of area. It is, indeed, a big system, but if you want to save some money on expenses, it is not essential to build a system in "Saunemin Illinois" that supplies all the energy you make use of. You can stay connected to the electricity grid, and construct a system that provides 30 %, 40 % or 50 % of the energy you require, depending upon your spending plan and offered roof space. For more information on how many solar panels you need, go to solar panel shop at Illinois.Youll find The truths about solar powerPrecisely how solar energy worksThe cost of installing solar powerSolar power for home and companyThe best ways to construct a solar power systemThe best ways to make a solar oven and lots more! The details is perfect for students learning about solar energy and home owners who are looking into installing photovoltaic panels in their house. If you are thinking about acquiring solar energy panels for your house in Saunemin Illinois, you will most likely wish to spend as little as possible. While it is true that photovoltaic panels are an useful financial investment that will conserve you 80 % -100 % on your electricity expense each month, it will certainly take a while to redeem your expenses if you pay complete price upfront.

America approves its first offshore wind farm, and it couldn't come at a better time"More than 800 giant wind turbines spin off the coasts of Denmark, Britain and seven other European countries, generating enough electricity from strong ocean breezes to power hundreds of thousands of homes," writes Tom Zeller, Jr., in the New York Times."China's first offshore wind farm, a 102-megawatt venture near Shanghai, goes online this month, with more in the pipeline. But despite a decade of efforts, not a single offshore turbine has been built in the United States."That may change. Last Wednesday, U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced the government's approval of America's first wind farm, a 130-turbine project off the coast of Cape Cod."The Cape Wind project would be the first wind farm on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf, generating enough power to meet 75 percent of the electricity demand for Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Island combined," according the Interior Department press release."The project would create several hundred construction jobs and be one of the largest greenhouse gas reduction initiatives in the nation, cutting carbon dioxide emissions from conventional power plants by 700,000 tons annually. That is equivalent to removing 175,000 cars from the road for a year."But opponents of the farm have vowed to take the issue to court, potentially stalling the project for many years."Opponents say it would be an industrial blot in an area of pristine beauty and change the region's historic character," writes Katerine Q. Sellye in the New York Times. "They also warn that the costs to consumers are likely to be double or triple the costs for conventional power. Improvements to the region's electrical grid and transmission lines could cost 10 billion."Perhaps opponents should also add up the ultimate cost of BP's recent oil spill -- in the lives of the lost oil rig workers, the lives of the birds and fish and turtles and the lost wages and economic suffering of the people who depend on a healthy ecosystem in the Gulf of Mexico.Thankfully, Mr. Obama has put a hold on any authorizations for additional drilling on the shelf until the investigation into the BP spill is done.Considering that the oil spill is currently spewing an estimated 210,000 gallons of oil into the gulf each day, the right answer to the question of whether more oil rigs should be built or new turbines installed on the shelf can be found blowing in the wind, not leaking into the water.GET INVOLVED * Sign a Sierra Club petition urging President Obama to halt all proposals to allow more offshore oil drilling * Sign a Power of Wind petition urging American lawmakers to support a national renewable electricity standard * Take the Public Agenda quiz and find out how much you know about energy * Sign the "We Can Solve It" petition for a global treaty on climate changeRELATED POSTS * The Answer Is Blowin' in the Wind (June 27, 2009) * Congress Tackles Climate Change (June 24, 2009) * In the Dark (June 21, 2009) * What Is Clean Coal?

SOLAR AIRPORT IN FLORIDAThanks to the help of a third party, the Southwest Florida International Airport may finally be one step closer to going solar. Currently, three firms are bidding to design, finance, build and manage a solar system for the airport. Once a company is selected, the airport will lease the system over a period of 20-years. According to port authority spokeswoman, Victoria Moreland, the airport's total electric bill at the end of September 2011, totaled a staggering 2.9 million.USING SOLAR TO REDUCE ENERGY AND UTILITY COSTS Getting a bidder is a huge step for the international airport. For the last five or six years, the airport has been considering alternative energy as a way to reduce energy costs. According to port authority staff, port authority has already completed a 700,000 solar energy project at Page Field. The one-megawatt, solar panel system would power the airport's chiller plant, which cools the passenger terminals for the airport. The lease agreementalso outlines that the winning company would include annual maintenance of the system, plus offer a one-year warranty after the lease is completed. There are many variables to the project, and final negotiations with the company that secures the bid to build the system will determine what kind of a cost-savings it could give the airport, Fisher said. The special management committee ranked Regenesis Power LLC in first place, with Sodexo Solution Center and ESA Renewables LLC in second and third places, respectively. Regenesis estimated the project cost at about 4.4 million."FINANCING SOLAR ELECTRICITY Financing a solar project is one of the greatest barriers to obtaining solar. Like other institutions and companies, the airport would love the opportunity to save as much money as possible. By taking on a unique financing option (using a third party financier), the airport will be able to just that. : "Solar power may shine soon on Southwest Florida International Airport" The post Florida Airport to go Solar appeared first on Commercial Solar.
