In its quest to achieve 20% energy production from clean sources by 2010, Southern California Edison wants to turn large flat Californian rooftops into useful solar producing spaces. This new project is a followup to a massive wind project. It will eventually produce 250 MW, and installation will be on large commercial buildings at a rate of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=electronrun.wordpress.com&blog=2184692&post=338&subd=electronrun&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Big problems require large scale innovative solutions. ElectronRun has so far covered solar proposals for the energy needs of the EU and the US. Now OTEC artificial energy islands come as another large scale idea whose main energy source is water temperature differences. The idea is that when we have a difference of about 20 [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=electronrun.wordpress.com&blog=2184692&post=210&subd=electronrun&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

There is all sorts of ways to produce clean energy, but the smartest and cleanest of all is definitely solar panels. There is absolutely no moving parts, noise or intermediate materials. Just beautiful clean energy. The catch? Low efficiency that in reality is far from the theoretical 20%, high manufacturing costs and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=electronrun.wordpress.com&blog=2184692&post=172&subd=electronrun&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

We have already written about Desertec and how it could change the energy scene in Europe. Now the January issue of Scientific American describes a project that aims even higher, by using solar energy to produce up to 3 terawatts of energy and cover 69% of US electricity and 35% of its total energy by 2050.

We want to finish 2007 in a really positive note. It has been a year of black predictions for the environment but new forward looking people and technologies are promising to reverse that trend. The Tindo is such a wonderful project. It marries two clean technologies:

Desertec is one of those huge projects that could have instant positive environmental impact. It is a proposal by TREC (Trans-Mediterranean Renewable Energy Cooperation) an initiative between the EU, North Africa and the Middle East. The target is to provide Europe with about one sixth of its energy needs and the countries where production takes place [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=electronrun.wordpress.com&blog=2184692&post=48&subd=electronrun&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
