Even if the utility does not pay, with the grid connected system your solar system is much more efficient plus you don't have the cost/headache of batteries.
Boy 5% sounds very small what happens if the produce more than 5% ? In Arizona now some people produce more and get nothing at all. It only helps when they use it as they produce it. They say it will change but now its a rip off if you are hooked up…
PV solar is out of reach for 90% (maybe more) of the worlds population - not a game changer at all!
The costs need to come down drastically. That is the same reason some car manufacturers are so cool on EV's - the cost is so -far out of line today…
Many scientists and researchers say
İ am not big on that statement. İf it is important enough to include then some reference to individuals or organizations should be included - not a generic thing. İ know the subject reasonably well and do not thin…
Am İ to understand that Facebook will only get electrons off the grid that were generated by coal?
That is quite interesting - wonder how they can possibly manage that. Someone developed a sorter that sends green electrons one way and coal generate…
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill into law today that doubles the amount of energy power companies will be required to buy back from customers with solar panels today. That means that customers will be able to sell back up to 5…

Check out my update posted at the bottom of the blog
In addition to the environmental issues of constructing the plant, the article goes into great detail about the questionable business motives behind its construction. Scams and shady dealings in the environmental sector of business really can give a…
Awesome video. Really well done and a great message.
David, Thanks for pointing this out and please take a look on this web site: www.basinandrangewatch.org
We need to tell people that is is OK to want clean energy, but do it right. We often hear so many people like T-Boone Pickens saying that we hav…
There are many ways of doing solar. The one that has drawn complaints is what the large power companies want. small scale, (rooftops, on existing community buildings, etc is much more the way to go. ut the companies are not interested in in decentra…

Solar Incentive
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill into law today that doubles the amount of energy power companies will be required to buy back from customers with solar panels today. That means that customers will be able to sell back up to 5% of the energy they generate, double the old rate of 2.5%.

Solar that may not be so green
A recent article in the Seattle PI states that a proposed solar power plant near Cle Elum in eastern Washington is suffering some significant setbacks.
There is anger from the local community that the plant, the construction of which will require countless acres of trees to be logged, hurts the environment more than it benefits it. The power plant claims it chose its… Continue

Offshore Drilling... in Virginia?
That's right, newly-inaugurated Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell wants to open up Virginia waters for drilling 50 miles off the coast. He cites his desire to make Virginia and energy hub on the east coast, and the needs of his cash-strapped state.
There are a number of problems with this (including… Continue

The concept requires the gas turbine to be operating at less than optimum when the sun shines - meaning it is operating out of the most efficient range at least 25% of the time. Not a great solution.
People reduce their energy mainly to cut cost, and to be more energy efficient.
Annie Leonard, the host of "The Story of Stuff" just completed a video to educate people in a VERY ENTERTAINING WAY about Cap & Trade, and the possibilities therein. It's a really fast paced, educational video that I think everyone would really enjo…
