While the transition will be difficult and costly, it will also create jobs and make communities healthier while protecting the planet for future generations.
GMPoster
This document proposes recommendations for General Motors' Fort Wayne Assembly plant to increase its use of renewable energy. It recommends:
1. Installing 14 wind turbines that are 2.5 MW and 100m tall to generate 50% of the plant's energy needs. Based on average wind speeds in the region, this setup could supply half of FWA's electricity.
2. Doubling the landfill gas capacity to achieve the target of 50% on-site power generation. Processing landfill gas into electricity would save $1.7 million annually and have a two-year return on investment.
3. Combining these recommendations could save GM money while further reducing the plant's carbon emissions and solidifying its status

Currently fewer than 200 farms have AD, but the goal is to increase that to 10,000 farms by 2020. A panel discussion was held on the topic, chaired by Michael Cheshire from Evergreen Gas, with representatives from the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association, Forum for the Future, Advanced Anaerobics, JF Temple & Son farm, and Energy Now.
Energy, climate change
The document discusses the importance of saving energy due to limited resources and increasing global energy demand and population. It notes that at a 1% annual growth rate of oil consumption, global oil reserves will be exhausted in less than 40 years. Switching to more efficient energy sources like solar and using technologies like frequency inverters and variable speed pumps/fans can significantly reduce energy usage and costs. Conservation and efficiency are key to addressing the global energy challenge.
Nuclear Energy: The Future Of Electricity
Population growth is expected to increase energy demand significantly in the coming decades. Nuclear energy is a promising alternative to fossil fuels as it produces no greenhouse gases or air pollution and has relatively low costs per kilowatt hour compared to other energy sources. While safety is a concern, modern nuclear plants have stringent regulations and automated safety systems, as well as extensively trained personnel, making them among the safest industrial facilities in the world. The document argues that nuclear power may be the only viable clean and inexpensive solution to meet growing global energy needs.

Energy resource Ashutosh_presesntation_ppt
The document discusses growing global energy needs and various renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. It notes that approximately 80% of the world's energy comes from fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. While these nonrenewable sources currently dominate energy production, they are finite and contribute to environmental issues. Renewable sources such as solar, wind, hydro and nuclear power provide alternatives that are abundant and more sustainable. Harnessing renewable energy can help address energy security concerns and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Transitioning to renewable sources is necessary for a cleaner energy future.
Energy crisis
Energy crisis has been a recurring problem due to increasing demand and limited fossil fuel reserves. The 1973 and 1979 oil crises showed the world's dependence on oil from unstable regions. While renewable sources like solar and wind show promise, they currently only provide a small fraction of energy needs. Nuclear power provides temporary relief but uranium reserves will last less than 15 years if used widely. Coal reserves will last 100-215 years at current consumption rates but is also limited and dirty. No single replacement exists and transition will be difficult, requiring a mix of solutions and reduced consumption through efficiency. Public understanding of the science and anticipated challenges is crucial to navigating this global issue.

USA BPPA presentation 07
The biomass power industry in California is facing decline, with 14 idle plants and 117 MW of lost capacity in recent years. Biomass generation is more expensive than other renewables due to high fuel collection, transport, and handling costs. While the state has tried various policies to support the industry, such as fuel grants and a trash bill surcharge, most have not been effective long-term solutions. A new 2006 state policy aims to make biomass constitute 20% of the renewable portfolio standard but implementation is uncertain. The future of the industry depends on factors like how this new policy is implemented, the price biomass generators are paid, fuel availability, and continuation of existing subsidies.
