The video shows why a white roof would assist this type solar design. The BIG question has become, at what cost?
If the green design is not cost effective it will get hammered in the market place. With regard to greenhouses, which is something we are very much interested in. There is a much better way to produce solar power for a lot less money.
The application where is DOES make sense is FLAT ROOFS and you can bet BIG MONEY is after this TECH. Just as long as they can get it on the CHEAP.
WATCH THE MONEY. See who picks this up out of the Court.
Finally the FED gets it RIGHT. FINALLY

The question becomes how long with that last. If they stick to their guns, we might begin to see the value levels that are real relative to current market conditions. Once there, we might begin to rebuild from the base valuations which have been hidden by past FED ACTION.
MAYBE JUST MAYBE, we might begin to build a new alternative energy sustainable future, when they learn to stay out of the way.
We shall see.
As for us, We ARE READY.

Green Opportunities: The KEY. Superior performance at lower costs
Nature Is Up For A Vote

Looks like it was voted down in the new House with the objective to take away all EPA ability to regulate green house gases. So much for BACT, much less LAER. Lowest Achievable Emissions Rate.
This means we will not be looking to acquire any old energy designs any time soon. FORGET IT. Those old energy plants will just keep on running as they always have. At least until a Veto or the Senate goes to bat. NO WAY YOU BASE A BUSINESS MODEL ON THIS POLITICAL FOOTBALL. If people don’t care where their power and fuel comes from, the low cost provider WINS.
FAR BETTER TO BUILD NEW NOW with LAER & the objective of being the low cost Green provider.
SOME IN THIS COUNTRY MAY START TO CARE.

Biofuels should replace M.E. Imports
Posted by 2011wd in 2011 Power Report, Algae, BTL, Eco Trust Land Acq., Energy Conservation is JOB 1, Energy Policy, Green Cars, Green Cities, Green Design, Green Edu., Green Jobs, Green Lending, Green Sustainable Future, green transportation, GTL, integrate CAD/BIM/GIS, Progressive Leadership on January 31, 2011
CANADA 1,975
MEXICO 1,229
VENEZUELA 884
BRAZIL 188 This is an ideal working partner source country.
COLOMBIA 489
RUSSIA 553
ALGERIA 379
Advanced Biofuels should be ramped up to replace M.E. Imports as conservation also improves. BTL, or GTL, the future numbers must exceed current projected increases. This sustainable fuels effort would utilize feedstocks that are not food crop oriented. These fuels would support sustainable forest objectives. These biofuels should be in the black on their own merit without subsidies. These biofuels feedstocks would be no till & organic. This is only possible as permaculture integration becomes the norm.
Most have simply missed this important aspect.
This is a long term effort that will require a national scope as it is proven on a regional level. Sustainable Distribution models will begin to produce meaningful advantages as they are designed and developed.
Important algae research should be supported and valued.
Interesting observations from a VC perspective…
BACT, best available control technology, has just shifted to BRIGHT GREEN

That being said the new year brings new surprises for those wishing to build new, old energy design, POWER projects, or clean, 30 year old, ones. Those new cost considerations are far more advanced that present thinking and they will require a whole new cost est. projection, which is the very project we have been working on for years, relative to integrated clean solutions. It was never enough to simply do the min. required in old cleaning work. While it is easy to see that work was much better than nothing, $119 Million will not get the job done anymore.
We attempted to make this point before the deadline for the new rules to KICK IN on JAN.1 and no one seemed to listen. Time and Time again we have been saying this is far more costly than most might think and yet M&A with regard to power went right on as if they simply had no care in the world. All the while this is what you might now get new in basic combined cycle systems..
Keep in mind that is NEW POWER PLANT Construction not something 30 years old, or older.
Not that this is remotely like, what we might wish to build for the same, Massive Amount, of money.
Even with all our work we still don’t have a total projected number and it may be months before we do, even as we are working full bore on the project. While all of this research is private, to be sure it is FAR NORTH by a long SHOT of that old clean number. Our work has not come up with a total figure as yet but as the managing partner, I am able to say, there is no way that number is even in the ballpark.
More will be in our 2011 Power Report, however that report as are all reports will be private. That data is only provided to our private Energy Division and the Bus. Dev. Working Partners. It will also be provided to all Licensee holders.
To be sure, A Permaculture Mindset MUST BE REQUIRED, as we view BACT, IN AMERICA STARTING IN 2011
Anything short of that missed the B, as in BEST.

Just got this today, showing someone IS BURNING HOT WITH BRIGHT GREEN ENERGY..
I am very pleased to see no NUMBERS were injected into this very important announcement and HOPE they will not be in the future as the real numbers make SHAKE The foundations of these old energy THINKERS. This REGION is in OUR WHEELHOUSE to be sure WE will want to speak to all Executives with regard to this NEW BACT, REDESIGN with CLEAN GREEN SOLUTIONS EST. in PRIVATE.
HOPE IS ALIVE and Growing Stronger by the DAY
With regard to the Site remediation $500M to $800M JOB. That should be directed by the .org that force the clean up in the first DAMN place. Read their PDF here…
2010 Energy Report: Advancing Alt. Energy Base Load Power Production
Posted by 2011wd in 2010 Energy Report, Advanced Building Materials, Bio-Composites, Bio-gas, Bioneers, BTL, CHP, CPV, CSS carbon sequestration & storage, Feedstock, Green Building Materials, Green Cities, Green Design, Green Edu., Green Job Training & Education, Green Jobs, Green Sustainable Future, integrate CAD/BIM/GIS, Natural Gas, Power Towers, Solar, Solar Companies, STE, Steel, TES, TES Thermal Energy Storage, Waste To Energy, Water and Waste Treatment on February 24, 2010
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.
What is the future cost of energy?

Will the cost per MW be coming down and if so, when? What is driving that cost down now?
Will the cost per barrel & per gal. of old energy products be coming down and if so, when?
How does this matter to alternative energy investment?
What are the real supply and demand factors and how are they clouded even today?
Who clouded them in the first place & Why?
Potential M&A in energy demands knowing the answer to all these questions and many more. Alternative Energy M&A must at it’s core have a vast understanding of old energy methods and actions. WHY?
If you have already made an Alternative Energy buy in the last 4 years, did you pay to much?
If the alternative energy company is public, what is their burn rate?
What is the public alternative energy co. S,G,& A?
What is the public alternative energy co. EBITDA?
If the answers are not strong in these very important areas, why not?
Do small cap alternatives stand a chance in this market?
Should your powder stay dry and if so where is the bottom?
The time for alternative energy production will fall well after the M&A action that must take place first. Running to that action would be a very misguided move.
CONSERVATION IS JOB 1
Cost cutting in solar. Think recycled materials
Posted by 2011wd in CPV, Green Job Training & Education, Green Jobs, Recycled Building Materials, Solar, Solar Companies, STE, TES Thermal Energy Storage on July 29, 2009
The basic green design idea is to heat water.
Others spend more money doing the same thing on a larger scale.
Then you have the light of 700 suns…

via the Fresnel lens, something we focus on here. The trick to bring the cost down far more than the present numbers. Sad fact is most still don’t know where the lens goes. Green intergrated design is about first seeing the whole system working in harmony with the rest of the eco system.
If you don’t have permaculture at the heart of your work, your on the wrong team. Sad fact is most do not care as long as they have a paying job. That sad fact is not seen just yet. It will be when the investors take the hit. If you not cutting costs & reducing the footprint via recycled materials and integrated sustainable design it is only a matter of time before a long term price will be paid.
The objective to reduce the footprint & the cost. Most have forgotten what reducing costs means. Where are the recycled materials? Why aren’t they being used? What’s wrong with cutting costs and using recycled materials? Seems some just don’t care about the cost or about the size of the footprint as they have been given endless supplies of money.
