Public presentation by Dorset Renewable Industries Pty Ltd (DRI).
DRI is a community focussed enterprise aimed at developing new industries in the Dorset region of Tasmania's North East. By investing in the region's renewable resources, DRI will build community resilience, environmental sustainability, local skills and innovation.
Sustainability leaders from Campbell Soup, Roche, BASF, Ingersoll Rand and the NJ Board of Public Utilities present business cases for how their “green” efforts resulted in significant short-term cost savings and Return-on-Investment (ROI). Presented at Fairleigh Dickinson University’s Jumpstarting the New Green Economy Conference, May 19-21, 2009.
This presentation gives an overview on how our current unsustainable energy supply systems can be transformed to sustainable energy systems? There is a special focus on the challenges for developing countries. The findings are based on the book from Peter Hennicke & Susanne Bodach "Energierevolution - Effizienzsteigerung und erneuerbare Energien als neue globale Herausforderungen" (Oekon Verlag 2010).

A presentation emphasizing the need to focus on skill development in occupations that people have already trained in rather than relying on the creation of new green jobs.
This presentation was given to the Commercial Brokers Alliance in Danbury, CT by Renewable Resources Energy Solutions, Inc. on June 20, 2013.
Overview
Discuss economic benefits of investing in solar energy from both an investment and a tax perspective.
Discuss corporate benefits going green.
Review a case study – i.e. take you through an actual proposal and financial analysis for a commercial building.
About Us
Renewable Resources, Inc. is based in Stamford, Connecticut, opened US operations in May 2012
Owned by Renewable Resources, Ltd., the largest solar installer in the U.K.
Core Values— Our corporate mission is to provide our clients with an honest and accurate solar assessment, first-in- class quality components and installation techniques.
Since beginning operations in 2008, we have achieved;
Over 17 MW installed
Over 15 MW under contract
Over 440 Residential Installations
Over 220 Commercial Installations
Fuel For Thought: World Energy Outlook by 2035
World primary energy demand will increase 36%
The US is now the second largest energy consumer behind China
The use of clean renewable energy will triple
Renewables (currently account for 7% of all energy) will rise to 14%
Electricity Rates
On average, CT electric rates have increased 5% per year, over the last 10 years. (Source: US Energy Information Administration)
Currently, the average commercial cost is between $0.16 - $0.17/kWh in CT
Straight line projection of 5%/year = $0.27/kWh in 2023
Why Solar Power?
Solar is a clean and renewable energy source
Every hour, enough sunlight shines on the earth to meet global energy needs for an entire year
Going Solar is Good Business
It speaks volumes to customers, employees and stakeholders that your company is committed to implementing “green” practices while still making economically sound decisions.
The terms “sustainability” and “profitability” are no longer odd bedfellows. The new view of Corporate Sustainability aims to ensure compliance with environmental standards and to safeguard natural resources.
Build Demand and Lower Costs
Reputation – People are attracted to companies who care about the environment.
Customers – Consumers are no longer looking at “going green” as an added effort, but they are actually demanding it.
Employees – Today, employees seek companies that are environmentally responsible. Not only is it easier to attract and retain talented employees, studies show that these companies enjoy a more motivated and productive workforce.
The Economics of Solar
Avoided Cost of Electricity equals Lower Operating Expenses – 30+ Years
Federal Tax Benefits – 30% ITC through 2016
MACRS accelerated depreciation:
20%, 32%, 19.2%, 11.52%, 11.52%, 5.76% of Basis by year (years 1 – 6)
State/Utility Incentives - ZREC
Zero Emission Renewable Energy Credit
Each megawatt hour (1,000 kWh) of energy produce = 1 ZREC
Business Case For Going Green, Fdu Green Conference May 2009Victoria Zelin
4 Sustainability executives from Campbell Soup, BASF, Ingersoll Rand and Roche share the advantages for their organizations in going green. Facilitated by Victoria Zelin, of a human capital consulting firm. May 2009
Governor Murphy, through Executive Order 28, has set New Jersey on the path toward transitioning to 100% clean energy by 2050.
In June, the Board of Public Utilities (BPU) issued a draft of an updated Energy Master Plan (EMP) that encompasses a dramatically broader scope than previous EMPs, and features a series of seven strategies that will guide the state to address the imminent threat of climate change and to reach Governor Murphy’s 100 percent clean energy goal.
This timely webinar features experts who will provide an overview of the EMP draft, and how it has the potential to result in significant economic benefits, including the creation of new jobs, industries and workforce development opportunities for the state’s residents and business community.
The NJ BPU is accepting comments on the EMP draft until September 16th. Please join us so that you can add your voice with others in the sustainable business community to help make the EMP a strong and effective roadmap to creating a clean energy economy.
The U.S. is currently the third largest PV market in the world in 2014, and poised for massive growth as the economy recovers, driven by falling prices for solar products and government incentives at both the state and federal level.

The first quarter of 2009 has ushered in a new era for the alternate energy market in the US. This has resulted in a visible increase in interest on alternate energy technologies. Most would think the attention to alternate energy has come just in time, especially with the rise in fossil fuel prices, stringent environmental regulations, and significant changes in preferences among consumers.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
