Short term fluctuations and volatility will continue to cause risk for over leveraged production companies. On the long term I see the rails for natural gas being LNG supply on the bottom and costs of renewable energy on the top.

A key solution to cost effective hydrogen storage is on the horizon. This will come in phases with the transportation fuels being one of the last, but the progress being made is very encouraging.

Thermal Storage will need to be addressed in order for this or any of the solar technologies become main steam. Parabolic Trough with heat transfer fluids and molten salt thermal storage is the clear leader in value and ability to contribute to system integration needs. The solar dish-stirling engine...

The main component of the Texas problem was the inability of conventional generation to deliver when the wind fell off.  Predictions of future windpower are becoming highly reliable, even up to 30 hours.  The Texas drop off was as predicted, but backup plants failed. Further, the entire US...

The US renewable energy industry suffered a body blow on December 14 when the U.S. Senate passed an eviscerated bill after it was stripped of the investment tax credits, production tax credits and a national renewable electricity standard (RES).   The irony was this occurred just as the United...

China’s position as the world’s largest investor in renewable energy is likely to strengthen. One of the key sources of renewable energy for China is wind energy. The central area for wind energy development is Inner Mongolia, where a majority of China’s energy resources are found, principally coal. China’s...

The EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Kyoto Protocol’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) have created major markets for trading carbon credits and encouraged internal abatement programs as well as renewable energy projects. A majority of carbon trading in the EU focuses on carbon remediation...

·Reports of the death of the silicon-based photovoltaic systems are greatly exaggerated. ·Despite the well-publicized shortage of solar grade silicon, many solar cell and module makers experienced significant growth in 2006. ·Wherever the supplies are coming from, the amounts are a...

The exceptionally strong endorsement for windpower by the conservative Audubon Society removes an important though specious argument against windpower.  The industry has been fighting false perceptions about the avian mortality issue for more than two decades.  With this support, the issue...
