Energy Crisis In India ENERGY CRISIS AND NUCLEAR ENERGY REQUIREMENT IN INDIA

1. The year 2005-06 is marked in the history of India – US relations as an important milestone in the mutual rediscovery of each other. It marks one of the most significant departure from long held relations. It is the biggest foreign policy challenge facing India after a gap of more than 30 years India and US agreed to resume cooperation in the field of nuclear energy. Until now, US viewed India as a nuclear weapon capable state as an outcaste, to be chastised for illegal …

Reading these posts about the tragedy in Japan reminds me a little of Kurosawa’s famous epic, Rashomon, about how an event can look very different to different onlookers.

The Nuclear Energy Institute assures us that US energy operators are “Now” taking safety precautions “Now!” Hmm – what were they doing yesterday?

Indeed, Marvin Fertel claims that US reactors will be upgraded so that the industry can “verify” that their back-up systems can “withstand a total loss of electric power to a nuclear power plant” and still …

We could be in for a huge firework display in 2012. The Sun will be approaching the peak of its 11-year cycle, called “solar maximum”, so we can expect a lot of solar activity. Some predictions put the solar maximum of Solar Cycle 24 even more energetic than the last solar maximum in 2002-2003 (remember all those record breaking X-class flares?). Solar physicists are already getting excited about this next cycle and new prediction …

Berlin, 15 June 2010
Wind energy will continue to grow in importance as an economic factor, playing an increasing part in Europe’s electricity supply and efforts to combat climate change. Installed capacity is expected to increase by several times in the next 20 years, as underlined at a press conference to mark Global Wind Day, held in Berlin …

British wind power is building up a storm of new projects. The British government today announced that it supports building the world’s biggest offshore wind farm. The London Array will produce 1 gigawatt. E.ON, Dong and Masdar are the companies that are responsible for the first phase of the project.

The new offshore wind farm will be situated off Kent and Essex and start feeding electricity into the grid in 2012, hopefully generating enough electricity to power a quarter of Greater London’s homes.

“The London Array is a flagship project in our drive to cut emissions by …

In 2005, the Montana Legislature adopted the Renewable Power Production and Rural Economic Development Act, sponsored by then-state Sen. Jon Tester. Also known as the Renewable Energy Standard, this act required the state’s investor-owned utilities to obtain an increasing percentage of their power from renewable sources: 5 percent by 2008, 10 percent by 2010, and 15 percent by 2015.

This forward-thinking policy was based on the 2005 Legislature’s belief that developing Montana’s abundant renewable energy resources would create jobs, stimulate rural economic development, and enhance …

SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS –As many as 20,000 jobs would be created with the development of the 3,200 MW of utility-scale wind generation currently permitted in Illinois, according to a report from three leading wind energy organizations. The report—entitled “Investing in Illinois” and released by the Illinois Wind Energy Association (IWEA), American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), and Wind on the Wires (WOW) — is being released at a crucial time, as state lawmakers consider legislation to overhaul the state’s electric market. The study highlights why any major …

The economic impact of wind industry development as the result of Michigan adopting Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) would be significant, according to a new report released recently by the Land Policy Institute (LPI) at Michigan State University (MSU).

The report, titled “Projected Impacts of Renewable Portfolio Standards on Wind Industry Development in Michigan,” is the outgrowth of research lead by Soji Adelaja, institute director and John A. Hannah Distinguished Professor …
