The document summarizes an energy conference held in Christiansted Harbor, US Virgin Islands in June 2012. It discusses several presenters who spoke about topics like the importance of public education for conservation and alternative energy, wind energy, and energizing the VI. The conference was well-attended with 75 registered people and discussions continued both inside and outside the room. The Virgin Islands Energy Office organized the local event.
E-Waste
This document discusses the growing problem of electronic waste (e-waste). It notes that e-waste is now the fastest growing and most toxic component of municipal garbage. Improper disposal of e-waste can release toxic heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, and chemicals like dioxins into the environment, which can negatively impact human health, especially children's development. The document calls for greater awareness programs, responsible recycling practices, and development of more sustainable electronics to address the e-waste problem.
Letter to Congress for UM PUBPOL481
Doug Kripke, a nuclear engineering student and Pennsylvania resident, writes a letter to Representative Allyson Y. Schwartz expressing concern about the environmental impacts of increased fracking in Pennsylvania. He argues that pre-regulation fracking has been shown to be reckless and cause contamination. While natural gas can help meet energy demands, the process currently injects toxic substances and rapid expansion since 2007 risks irreversible environmental damage unless regulations are strengthened. Kripke urges the representative to support stronger fracking regulations to protect water, air, ecosystems and recreational areas in Pennsylvania.
Green Building
Green building and sustainable housing can provide many social, economic, and environmental benefits. Implementing green features such as compact fluorescent lights, instantaneous hot water heaters, and improved insulation can significantly reduce energy and water consumption and costs for residents while preserving affordable housing. Making housing projects green also creates jobs, reduces reliance on energy assistance, and benefits the community and environment through lower emissions and resource usage, though initial costs are higher and changes can face resistance.

Environmental regulations will require cleaner energy sources to address issues like air pollution, mercury emissions, and carbon dioxide.
A new world wildfires -2021111 for posting
Abstract
From 2018 through 2021, Wildfires have emerged as one of the most destructive and deadly forces impacting energy resiliency around the globe. Dramatic new policy measures have been implemented in different jurisdictions with decidedly mixed results. Even less clear is whether these policy measures will truly ensure safe, reliable, and affordable energy------along with a modicum of reliability. This presentation will provide a detailed overview of the costs of wildfires within a resiliency framework, focusing upon California, Australia and other highly impacted geographic areas. Existing policy responses such as the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) program in California will be evaluated for efficacy. Evolving policies will also be reviewed----especially those that hold material potential to mitigate risk. Finally, for those areas with high wildfire risk, electricity market responses in the commercial and industrial (C&I) sector will be explored in detail. To what degree has wildfire risk expedited the shift from centralized utility electricity generation to distributed and/or third-party C&I electricity generation? Has this shift focused upon specific technologies (i.e. storage vs renewables vs fossil fuel generators). The presentation will assess
whether these market shifts are mitigating wildfire risks or simply creating greater complexity and variability.

Article
December 2015 was the wettest month ever recorded in the UK, with nearly double the average rainfall. Climate change has fundamentally altered the UK's weather patterns, making previously rare temperature and rainfall extremes more common. Professor Myles Allen stated that climate change models from the 1990s predicted warmer, wetter UK winters with more intense rainfall, which is now being observed. Extreme weather events from climate change will challenge the UK's resilience, and the country is currently unprepared based on the impacts seen in December 2015.
Calwell zero energy homes talk in san diego
Chris Calwell gave a talk on sharply reducing residential greenhouse gas emissions. He discussed how increasing carbon emissions lead to rising CO2 concentrations and global temperatures. It will be expensive and slow to convert energy infrastructure away from CO2 emitting sources. We face a near-term limit on absolute energy consumption. Improving efficiency has had some success but plug loads are soaring. We need to track all factors that drive emissions upward for homes and consumer products like population, acquisitiveness, luxury, usage, carbon intensity, efficiency, manufacturing, and durability. More homes are using solar energy each year but we must go beyond current efficiency standards like ENERGY STAR to achieve deeper reductions.

Sustainable Energy for All: Addressing Energy Poverty through Innovation
Christo Ananth, Rajini K R Karduri, "Sustainable Energy for All: Addressing Energy Poverty through Innovation", International Journal of Advanced Research in Basic Engineering Sciences and Technology (IJARBEST), Volume 8,Issue 5,May 2022,pp 25-38
Infrastructure Fact Sheet
The aging U.S. energy infrastructure received a grade of D+ due to outdated infrastructure contributing to power failures. An estimated $1.5 trillion investment is needed by 2030 to modernize the electric grid. Climate change has also increased storms and events causing more outages, requiring infrastructure to be hardened. A shortage of energy sector workers is also projected due to retirements, requiring new training and skills. Sustainable funding sources must be identified to invest in improvements and protect against worsening climate conditions.
Offshore Wind Turbines Policy Brief
Offshore wind farms in Lake Michigan have the potential to power almost 3 million homes while providing environmental and economic benefits. However, their development has faced challenges due to public opposition and a lack of political support. Educating the public about the benefits of offshore wind, including providing clean energy without harming wildlife or views, could help build support and allow the United States to tap into this sustainable energy source, as has already been done successfully in Europe.

Indonesia is highly vulnerable to climate change risks such as sea level rise, landslides, floods and droughts due to its dense population and dependence on natural resources. Climate change impacts on infrastructure can lead to severe social and economic consequences by disrupting access to basic services. Mainstreaming climate resilience into infrastructure planning can help reduce these risks through fortifying infrastructure, increasing system capacities, and building in higher elevations. This requires assessing climate hazards and risks, adapting planning policies, technical standards, and financing strategies to account for future climate conditions. However, developing climate resilient infrastructure faces challenges from uncertainties around future climate impacts, a lack of climate information, and misaligned incentives across administrative cycles.
Why Wind
The document discusses the benefits of wind energy as a renewable energy source. It notes that wind power provides a stable, domestic source of energy without fuel costs and price volatility. While wind energy was initially more expensive than other sources, its costs have decreased and it is now competitive with natural gas. Wind farms also provide local economic benefits through job creation and increased tax revenue. While wind energy faces challenges in infrastructure costs and needing backup power sources, it remains a clean and competitive alternative to help meet America's energy needs.

Water security
This document discusses challenges to global water security due to factors like climate change, population growth, and pollution. It introduces concepts like the water-food-energy nexus, virtual water, and water footprints. Potential solutions discussed include desalination, conservation, integrated water management, and appropriate water pricing. The document emphasizes the need for a holistic, systems approach to address growing threats to secure access to fresh water worldwide.
Critical Infrastructure Analysis.docx
Pensacola, Florida relies on critical infrastructure like power plants, transportation systems, water facilities, and telecommunications to support residents and tourists. The city's infrastructure faces natural hazards from hurricanes and potential human threats from terrorism. Damage to key assets like the Pensacola Bay Bridge or water treatment plant would significantly impact the local population and economy by disrupting services. Officials work to strengthen infrastructure and make it more resilient to disasters through projects hardening critical facilities and diversifying energy sources with solar installations.
Aging Power Infrastucture in the US: Towards a Solution
According to the United States Energy Department. the demand for electricity in the US is growing at the rate of about 1% a year, with the pace likely to increase over the next few years. Other estimates put the increase at 6% or more per year, thanks to the population growth rate and the burgeoning numbers of electric/electronic devices now considered essential to people's lifestyles.

City Resilience Index presented at the Resilience Shift tools workshop
This document summarizes research conducted for the City Resilience Index (CRI) which measures the resilience of cities. The research involved over 300 contributors and reviewed 45 frameworks across 28 cities. It identified 1500 factors influencing city resilience across four dimensions: People, Organization, Place, and Knowledge. The CRI measures 156 variables through qualitative and quantitative questions to assess cities against best and worst case scenarios. The CRI has been applied to communicate resilience concepts, enable monitoring, and empower stakeholders. It has also been adapted to specific city contexts and sectors like water. The CRI research and pilot projects have increased the number of cities using the index to measure and improve their resilience.
TORC presented at the Resilience Shift tools workshop
This document discusses TORC, a training method that uses board games to teach resilience. It was developed based on a PhD thesis about organizing, thinking, and acting resiliently in compliance contexts. The games have been used to train over 1,000 employees. The document discusses:
- How the TORC games were developed and funded
- The theoretical basis of relating compliance and resilience
- Using the games to train operational staff, managers, or both
- Evidence that the games increase trainees' understanding of resilience and help identify organizational strengths and weaknesses
- Plans to further develop and apply TORC in new contexts and organizations
RASTEP presented at the Resilience Shift tools workshop
The document summarizes RASTEP, a model that estimates the likelihood of radioactive release scenarios during nuclear emergencies. RASTEP uses Bayesian belief networks and statistical data on known scenarios to make predictions based on current observations of an ongoing event. It provides decision support to emergency organizations. The model is flexible and could estimate prognoses for other uncertain developing situations like flooding or volcanic eruptions. An example application looks at the progression of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in 2011.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
