Massachusetts is a Hotbed for Alternative Energy: How You Can Get Involved

Massachusetts is a Hotbed for Alternative Energy: How You Can Get Involved

Posted on Thursday, May 22, 2014 at 4:33:00 PM

Thanks to advances being made in alternative energy, going green and saving money no longer have to be mutually exclusive—now especially for those living in Massachusetts.

The demand for alternative energy continues to rise and, as such, consumers stand to gain. The price of solar energy, for example, fell 15 percent between 2012 and 2013, even as it accounted for 29 percent of all new electricity generation capacity that same year.

The Bay State is a particular hotbed for alternative energy, finishing fourth in the nation for its 237.2 megawatt-increase in capacity in 2013. A driving force behind solar adoption is that it is less expensive for companies to produce than other energy sources. Additionally, solar is generally more accessible and thus easier to harness.

Massachusetts residents can get in on the action by participating in the state’s growing alternative energy movement. Here are a few ways MA citizens (or citizens of any state, for that matter) can do so:

• Embrace affordable green energy: Make an energy choice that makes a difference. Moving from a “brown” energy supplier to a green supplier is a great way to begin making a change that works for you. Start your process by exploring suppliers that cater to your area.
• Get involved in the community: It’s easy to get involved in the “green scene." For example, participate in state or town fairs or simply shop local and organic. In Massachusetts, the Boston Greenfest will be taking place at the Boston City Hall Plaza from August 15-17, representing the region’s largest environmental festival.
• Cut down energy usage in other ways: If for any reason you can’t make the move to a green energy supplier, there are things you can do around the home to decrease your footprint—and energy bill. This can include keeping your air conditioning at a minimum this summer and unplugging devices even when they are off, as this still draws energy.

Residents of Massachusetts should be proud of the strides that their home state is making in the green realm. If you don’t live in the state, make sure you’re doing your part to help your state, city or hometown get to this level of involvement. Remember: it all starts with you. take part of renewable energy click HERE

Future is now for green energy switch

Future is now for green energy switch

Even among those who believe strongly in sustainability, renewable energy as a major percentage of production may seem like a futuristic, far-off goal, one to strive for but which may only be seen by the next generation. Those in the industry, though, know that the future is rapidly arriving, and some recent news shows that, when it comes to renewable energy, the future is now.

Austin boosting renewable energy use
Austin, Texas, home to popular music festivals and University of Texas, has long been famous for its atmosphere, and has taken strong stands on many forward-looking issues. When it comes to renewable energy, it's been at the vanguard of adopters. Only a few years ago, Austin Energy, the city-owned utility company upped its focus on renewable energy, hoping to boost its efforts ingreen energy switch and hit a benchmark of 35 percent of its energy being renewable by the year 2020. An ambitious and noble goal, certainly, but 2020 was still years away. The company, though, may not even need that long.

According to a recent article in the Austin American-Statesman, Austin Energy is about to sign a pair of contracts that would put the company past its 35 percent goal by 2016. 570 megawatts of wind generated capacity, stemming from the Texas Gulf Coast, would be added in contracts worth $1.4 billion and lasting 25 years. The new wattage would sufficiently increase the company's renewable work and break it into a new frontier. With the 35 percent barrier behind it, it may have bold new ambitions to take on next.

Other great news for renewable energy
Around the country, other good news about renewable energy continues to come out. Nebraska recently signed into a law a bill aimed at pushing renewable energy in the state higher through tax incentives, such as exempting certain renewable energy costs from the 5.5 percent sales tax the state has in place. The law also requires renewable energy companies to put at least $20 million into certain properties in the state in order to receive the tax benefits. According to an article from ReedSmith, Nebraska has the fourth-highest wind-energy potential in the nation, but has hardly capitalized on this and remains 26th in the nation in wind-energy production. Hopefully, the bill will take wind energy production in Nebraska to the next level, and help bring America further into a future of green power.

Goldman Sachs amps up renewable energy investment

Goldman Sachs amps up renewable energy investment 

Renewable energy has sometimes been seen by outsiders as a progressive industry, one for companies and individuals more concerned with the environment than their wallets, more into green trees than green bills. But those involved in the industry have long known that is not the full story. And with Goldman Sachs increasing its investment in renewable energy, one has to wonder if maybe renewable energy has cemented its status as big business.
Investment banking titan ups renewable energy portfolio
According to the Financial Times, Goldman Sachs has invested $135 million in ReNew Wind Power, an Indian wind farm company. Combined with previous investments, that means Goldman now has $385 million invested in the company.
Ankur Sahu is co-head of private equity in Asia at Goldman Sachs, and he spoke to the Financial Times about the company's turn to renewable energy power generation companies like ReNew Wind Power, saying shortages in energy production and a variety of new tariffs have led them to ramp up production.
"All these factors play into being in power generation more than in the suppliers," Sahu told the FT. "We feel that generation is certainly the more interesting place to be."
Not their first entry into the market
Last month, Goldman announced it would be investing up to $487 million in JRE, a solar power generation company in Japan. It may be a developing trend - after all, the Wall Street Journal's website notes that the company has vastly increasedits clean-energy budget, moving from 1.4 billion in 2006 to $4.3 billion last year. And all of this comes on the heels of last week's two announcements by Google about renewable energy investments in Africa and Europe, where they will be spending millions of dollars on wind farms and solar energy. All around the world people are interested in renewable energy - in the UK last year, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Edward Davey said he thought renewable energy could "create a multi-billion pound boom for the British economy, driving growth and supporting jobs across the country."
Europe, Africa, Asia - these titans of American capitalism are spending millions of dollars on renewable energy around the world. People may think of investment banks like Goldman Sachs as cutthroat profiteers, but certainly their investment is good for the industry, good for Goldman Sachs and, above all, good for the future of the environment.

KENTUCKY HIGH SCHOOL RADIO STATION IMPLEMENTS SOLAR POWER

Green energy solutions are increasingly finding themselves incorporated into various daily processes. Residential and commercial properties are having their lights, heat and technology powered with the of the sun. Corbin High School's radio station is now broadcasting over the wavelengths using solar energy.

WYMT TV reports that the high school, located in Corbin, Kentucky, was able to make the switch to solar energy thanks to a grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission for $10,000. Now, brand new solar panels will begin to collect the sun's energy to power the 100 watt transmitter needed for the school's radio station.

Teachers claim that the introduction of solar energy for the radio station is just one move the school is making to include green energy technology and sustainable solutions into the educational facility. Promoting sustainability at a high school may get students thinking about the consequences of their energy use and the energy solution solar and other renewable sources offer.

Students are encouraged to learn about solar energy, according to the news source, and how it integrates with the broadcasting system.
"I've never seen any solar power around here, especially since we're in such a coal area, and since you can run something like this from solar energy is just awesome," student Tanner Broughton, told the news source.

The integration of solar panels into the radio tower required special hookups.

"We do want to make some hard connections to the electric back-up there just to make sure, but at this point the batteries are now fully charged and we're ready to go solar," radio station manager David Colvin, told the news source.

Officials and faculty at Corbin High School are hopeful that solar energy will soon be incorporated into the school's science curriculum, reports WYMT TV.

Green Rankings winners do more than switch electricity

Green Rankings winners do more than switch electricity

For the last few years, Newsweek has been publishing its list of the most environmentally friendly organizations, those that go the extra mile to use green energy and switch operations to more eco-conservative measures, creating a competitive landscape for businesses. In order to rank up on the list, some businesses are making a final push to increase their standings.
Daily Finance wrote that Sprint is working on building more green initiatives and making these programs public, earning more attention for its clean programs. The company is making 100 percent recycled devices available for purchase, as well as pushing its customers to bring unused electronics back to stores for that purpose. The company has previously earned accolades from the EPA for this drive, as the company is making a dent in the over 2 million tons of electronics sent to landfills every year.
This shows how tough it is to move up in the Green Rankings list, as The Daily Beast wrote. Simply adding more green energy to power portfolios is not enough - businesses must challenge themselves to find ways of cutting costs, reducing waste and making cleaner operations. In this case, the winning company not only gains more public attention and prestige, but the environment wins as well.

Students use solar power to continue gardening projects

Students use solar power to continue gardening projects

Fall time may be here, and while many gardeners are hanging up their their sheers and spades, middle school students at Ellis School are just now planting a crop of lettuce seeds that, thanks to solar energy, will be harvested in the dead of winter, the Union Leader reports.
According to the news source, the school's educational greenhouse program will soon use a solar hot water system to keep the plants warm throughout the frigid New Hampshire winter. The program, which began last year, has been helped by a host of volunteers and generous contributions, including a $5,00 grant from Lowe's "Toolbox for Education" fund program.
"There are so many different lessons this can give to the students," said Jen Rydeen, vice president of the school’s Parent-Teacher Association.
The school sought the help of the Seacoast Area Renewable Energy Initiative to install the solar system, and also recruited skilled and knowledgeable volunteers to help with the process, the media outlet stated.
New Hampshire and the Northeast as a whole are reporting more widespread use of solar technologies, which has been attributed to the many rebate and incentive programs that are available in several states, including Maine and Connecticut.

Cape Cod Community College goes green

Cape Cod Community College goes green

Cape Cod Community College in Barnstable, Massachusetts, has taken some drastic steps to go green. The Associated Press reported a solar farm, photovoltaic arrays and a wind energy project have been installed over the past half year at the campus and could help the school save approximately $100,000 per year in energy bills.
"The goal here is twofold: Number one, we want to reduce our use of fossil fuels," said Dixie Norris, college vice president of finance and administration, according to the news source. "Number two, as much if not more, we need to reduce the cost of our electricity because it keeps going up and takes away from what we can do for our students."
These projects include 660 kilowatts of solar power and a five-kilowatt wind energy device. The installations are located on the land and roofs of the campus, the AP said. One unique location is where the wind energy generator will be placed, going on top of a stairwell in the college's gymnasium. This will work in concert with solar panels mounted on the gym, thereby saving the school more money.
This is a great start for green energy at the school, but it may still have along way to go before reaching the level of the No. 1 green college in America, which according to The Daily Green in Maine's College of the Atlantic. The Daily Green said the campus is committed to green building, land conservation and the elimination of toxins.

Sustainability changes for every organization

Sustainability changes for every organization

Climate and sustainability expert Bob Doppelt wrote a recent article published in Business Review USA, in which he offered up six changes that he said every organization is capable of making to cost-effectively reach sustainability.
Doppelt noted the need to revise the classic "more and cheaper is better" approach to business, offering up an alternative mantra for personal happiness and economic success, saying, "sustainable is better, healthier, morally just - and essential to sustain life on the planet."
Doppelt's six cost-effective changes for sustainability begin with his recommendation for businesses to complete a Life Cycle Analysis to fully explore the effects the company's goods and services have on the environment and society. Then, Doppelt advised undertaking an analysis of the company's carbon footprint for all production facilities, and to simultaneously perform an energy audit. These beginning steps are key for helping companies inexpensively discover where there is room for improvement and new ways to save money.
The next change Doppelt offered up was to hold a company-wide dialogue with the goal to establish clear ethics to help manage the company's activities around sustaining the natural environment.
Fourth on Doppelt's list is arguably his boldest suggestion, telling companies to set an ambitious target - something similar to either increasing efficiency or reducing energy use by 30 percent - in an effort to show commitment to the company's initiatives.
The fifth change is to have the company establish a plan to reduce its use of coal across its value chain, completely eliminating coal use in a period of five to 10 years. Doppelt maintains that this is achievable by transitioning to renewable energy sources such as wind or solar while simultaneously working to increase energy efficiency.
Doppelt's final change involves setting yet another ambitious goal, this time to reduce company waste that goes to landfills through the gradual building up of recycling and reuse at facilities.
Once organizations have gone through Doppelt's six changes, he advises them to then continue approaching goals like these in a similar fashion until they have gone through the company's entire value chain.
Today, companies around the globe recognize the necessity to restructure their sustainability efforts, residential households are making individual efforts to do their parts, and entire cities are taking on the sustainability challenge. For example, a recent article in Peoria new source the Peoria Times described how that city developed a sustainability initiative in 2009 in an effort to counter financial hardships and have "positive, lasting effects" on Peoria's future.

SOLAR PLANTS CREATE JOBS

SOLAR PLANTS CREATE JOBS

The U.S. economy has experienced a great deal of turmoil in recent years, with many Americans spending months or even years on unemployment while competing for fewer jobs in a contracting marketplace. Green energy, however, has given many individuals a second chance to make a living.

Three members of the Starr family lost their jobs at a window and door manufacturing plant in 2008, according to a recent article from Suntech Power. The mother, father and son, all qualified employees in the manufacturing business, have found work in a local solar plant.

“Solar is still in its infancy as far as the world is concerned,” Mike Starr told Suntech. “It’s a huge growth industry that’s making a tangible impact on a better future.”

The solar industry remains largely untapped in terms of an employment options. One common misconception is that the industry only provides career opportunities for those with an engineering or technical background, yet the industry has a number of positions for individuals with marketing, sales and IT backgrounds as well. However, because most solar manufacturers are still largely "under the radar," searching for job postings may take a little more effort than traditional job offerings. However, this may also mean less competition for job seekers, and so can provide a great opportunity for those willing to look.   

Algae as new energy source

Algae as new energy source

As the world strives to tackle growing global energy demands, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers announced June 26 that algae are a valuable source of sustainable energy.
The release indicates that the U.S. Department of Energy predicts global energy usage to increase 53 percent by 2035, creating substantial demands to incorporate green energy sources and sustainable energy into world plans to reduce dependence on depleting fossil fuel resources.
IEEE said that algae is a good source of energy due to its extremely high growth rate, and it is a sustainable alternative option to produce aviation gases, jet fuel and crude oil. IEEE senior member and CEO of Algaeon Inc. William Kassebaum maintains that an acre of corn can generate 300 gallons of ethanol per year while an acre of algae is capable of producing from 6,000 to 10,000 gallons of light sweet crude oil per year.
IEEE additionally pursues other current renewable energy sources, including wind and solar. With the cost of energy from wind sources falling, it is fast becoming an “attractive non-carbon source of energy,” said Peter Tavner, a UK-based IEEE senior member and president of the European Academy of Wind Energy. IEEE is tackling the issues that are rising from the evolving grid system, green energy goals and energy demands.
