Stephen Crivillaro: All about Renewable Energy
- 1. Stephen Crivillaro: All about Renewable Energy Stephen Crivillaro holds a degree in Labor Studies from Queens College in New York. But he worked for years as a green energy consultant, and says that renewable energy is both important, and an endlessly fascinating subject. He is passionate about renewable energy, and when he gets wound up on the topic he tells people that nothing less than the fate of the planet is at stake. He usually reins himself in at that point, because he thinks it is wise to keep his politics to himself sometimes, although he remains a strong advocate of public policies that advance the cause of renewable energy. And so he emphasizes the technology itself. As Stephen Crivillaro knows, there is a lot to talk about; there is no single renewable energy. He believes that advancing renewable energy on its most viable fronts, such as solar power and waste to energy systems, is the way to go. But it all boils down to developing new possibilities for creating cheap and abundant energy that will provide for all of the earth's energy needs, and he says that the technology for realizing that goal has arrived, but is in its infancy.

He says that solar power has become the most attractive, and most discussed, form of renewable energy in the minds of many Americans. There are already many solar plants in the South west, and many authorities, such as those with the Solar Energy Industries Association, insist that it has yet to live up to its full potential. And that, he says, is where the biggest challenge lies: in ramping up production and distribution of solar energy technology in order to lower its costs, so that it is on a par with traditional fossil fuel sources.
