Have a Green Halloween!

Here's an interesting Halloween themed site: Green Halloween!

Ten easy steps to making your Halloween
eek-o-friendly

Kermit was wrong. It is easy being green [on Halloween].
And with this list of ten steps, we make it even easier.

1. Plan ahead to avoid last-minute shopping which often limits your choices.
2. When it comes to costumes and décor—reuse, borrow, trade, purchase used or do-it-yourself.
3. Treat bags can be anything! For extra fun, match the bag to the costume using something you
already own. Here are some ideas: purses, flower pots (cover the hole), cloth sacks, backpacks,
lunchboxes.
4. Choose healthier treats. Take baby steps with organic candy and honey sticks, two child-favored
choices. (Honey is not for children under two years of two).
5. Choose fun treasures instead of conventional sweets. Think of the treasures your child collects
in her pockets—pretty rocks, feathers, etc.
6. If you’re giving a party, avoid disposables including napkins, plates, cups, tablecloths and other
décor.
7. Walk from house to house instead of driving.
8. Compost pumpkins and any other food, including leftover candy.
9. Collect candy wrappers and help your kids turn them into gift items like purses, bracelets and
picture frames. Find directions on the internet.
10. Check out www.GreenHalloween.org often for fun, new ideas.
Hundreds of additional ideas can be found at: www.GreenHalloween.org and

Commercial Concentrated Solar Power for Rooftops

The scientists and researchers at "Sopogy" have created the world's first concentrating solar power technology designed for commercial rooftop installation.

Called "SopoFlare", it's supposed to have a unique mounting and fastening system for rooftop installation. Sopogy has come up with their own solar tracker and storage solution which beats their competitors by being 30% cheaper. Sopoflare is 8ft long and 2.5 ft wide making it easier to install on commercial and industrial rooftops.

They will be exhibiting at the "Solar Power International" conference going on in Anaheim CA right now through Friday Oct. 29th.

* Check out the SopoFlare at Sopogy.

5 Alternative Energy Producing Technologies

The Wall Street Journal has a nice article on alternative energy producing technologies in various stages of development. Naturally solar power is mentioned but in relation to using space-based technology that beams the power down to a receiver.

The other 4 technologies are:

Advanced Vehicle Batteries such as Lithium-Air batteries that pull oxygen from the air to get a charge. The article admits however, that r & d that leads to commercialization could be at least 10 yrs away.

Utility Storage. In this case lithium-ion battery energy would be the method scientists would focus on for energy grid storage. Lithium-ion batteries could be placed close to grid customers in an attempt to more efficiently capture and deliver renewable energy.

Carbon Capture and Storage. Two different methods are being studied for dealing with CO2 produced by coal plants. One technology focuses on capturing the CO2 that's constantly being generated and other scientists are working on cutting emissions by 90% while cutting costs.

BioFuels. In this case the star is Algae. Algae grows fast and can generate 5000 gallons a year per acre of biofuel compared to 350 gallons produced by corn-ethanol. But this technology is still so green (pardon the expression) that it will be yrs before they figure out all the drawbacks to maintaining and producing this type of biofuel. Since algae based biofuel can be added to already existing distribution systems it could produce enough to cover the vehicle fuel needs of the entire country. Again, this technology is years away also.

All these game-changing energy producing and controlling technologies will be in development for years but their success will be worth the wait!

Managing Electricity for Electrical Vehicles

The questions so many have been wondering about regarding managing electrical vehicles and the electrical juice they need is mulled over here by Allan Schurr. Schurr is v.p. of utility strategy and development at IBM. Questions about how electrical utilities will manage lots of electrical vehicles charging up in various neighborhoods.

The public is told it would be better to buy electrical cars but not much is explained about how they will be charged, where, and the cost to the vehicle owner and utility. This dilemma is being discussed finally. Questions regarding the capacity in typical neighborhoods to deal with a lot of cars charging up in addition to regular energy use. What would the additional cost of charging an electric car will have on your energy bill.

It's apparently just starting to dawn on utility companies that they have to develop a mid to long term strategy to come with new technology and figure out new capabilities. Improvements in devices that will monitor energy use while cars are charging as well as starting plans for developing public electrical charging stations.

Terms like "smart metering", "data management", "application integration" are now being discussed by major utilities who foresee a drain on the grid from lots of these vehicles charging at once. Utilities are having talks with car makers about this very subject.

Power outages may stop John and Joan from driving to work someday! A great excuse for skipping the office on a hot summer day- "Oh, I can't come in today, I forgot not to have my air conditioner, microwave and electrical car going at the same time."

As Schurr points out utilities are won't develop and build out the needed infrastructure to charge cars at home and in public charging stations until the public goes ga ga for these cars. The public on the other hand wants to know how to keep these cars charged and the cost before leaping to buy them.
