2010 Energy Report: Advancing Alt. Energy Base Load Power Production

While Alt. Fuel is our main focus, we are shifting the research this year to advance our Alt. Energy Base Load Power Production objectives because of the need for cheaper smart power onsite. That power demand will be extensive so we wish to design something that has never been done & something that will be a model for future development sites and projects. If you, or your company, are on the cutting edge of Thermal solar, TES, hydrogen, natural gas, CHP, heat & air, geothermal, on a base load scale, please consider presenting your white papers per our request.

We are tracking over 200 companies in these different energy areas and wish to learn more about how we might work together as we are able to see business development move in a like minded direction.  If we are not already tracking your company and you feel we should be, please let us know and we will look over your profile. Keep in mind this is base load and smart onsite which is not the norm. Our objective is to produce power cheaper, cleaner, smarter with combined energy sources & seemless intergration. If you don’t have a working solution for that type of energy production potential, that can be tracked at every point in the loop, the question becomes, why not? Current research and design models have our projected cost per MW of power far cheaper than most producing alternative energy systems & designs which means all old systems currently in production are outdated and of no use to us without extensive modification, demanding major expense, & rework.

We are open to co-production agreements with current old energy systems companies that know they must transfer their plant designs which are presently outdated. This will demand feedstock transfers, production downtime, construction costs which will be extensive, not to mention major investment in new & renovated infastructure, buildings and equipment, keeping in mind these will be first time projects never produced before. Total new alternative energy cost projections are a major part of our M&A evaluation process. Those numbers are presently far more than most have projected even on a model, first phase scale.  This is in large part due to remediation which seems lost to most in the total restructure equation. Without this extensive remediation expense understanding, whatever cost number that might be reached, has missed it’s mark on a grand scale. In fact, we will not consider any future project unless we have been in charge of all remediation work during the life of the cost consideration evaluation process phase. There will not be one dime spent on any potential old energy production plant rework without first having the remediation cost projections well in hand. Here we must work side by side with both CFO and COO who are the only people who might begin to understand the merit of our clean site objectives and process.

It is also important to remember we are talking about an underground and above ground sea of pipes, wires, equipment, & roads that must be integrated. Operations must be priority one with any new design. These operations must be integrated on a large scale. This means thinking in terms of a closed loop type system. This demands CAD/BIM/GIS.

This is where our alternative fuel designs are making advances and we feel our base load power production should have the same type model. Total utilization of energy must be a major objective.

Solar Decathlon ’07: Rachael Joy

Rachael Joy does it better. The best video of the solar decathlon hands down.
The only one to pick up on the solar door panels which was the design feature we valued in our own research.   If you factor in both the door and window shade potential for tracking sunlight you begin to see the potential of this exterior treatment.
It’s important to remember these doors were off of the passive solar patio.

07 Solar Decathlon Highlights

If the application of recycled building materials meant anything in the contest, Un. of Colorado’s use of old shipping containers would have them out front. The heat exchanger was also a big plus.

The winner proved that use of space and a unique passive solar design are a meaningful part of any well thought out solar home. Passive solar gains allow for optimal solar utilization & this was exhibited wisely.

The bamboo I- Joists were a smart green materials use from the Un. of Santa Clara. Their video displayed planning details in a professional manner.

The windows and doors of the second place home were a green design plus..

The garden, deck, and green wall are excellent green design features.
