Santa Claus is Chinese -- Or -- Why China is Rising and the United States is Declining
**Last year at this time, we released an Update entitled 'Santa Claus is Chinese,' which generated a lot of interest. Since little has changed, we thought you might like to see it again during this holiday season. I know Santa Claus is Chinese because each Christmas morning after all the gifts are unwrapped and things settle down I systematically go through the presents to see where they ...

Efficiency stimulus will lower energy bills, says federal report
Depending on your position, the federal stimulus money is either a jobs builder or a national budget buster. The Energy Information Administration offers another take. In a recent analysis, the EIA finds that stimulus money should reduce what consumers and businesses pay to heat, cool and light buildings. The federal agency this month updated its annual energy outlook to compare how energy ...

The bottom line on renewable electricity standards
What is a Renewable Electricity Standard (RES)? A RES requires that a minimum percentage or amount of electric power generation come from eligible renewable energy sources by a specified date. Retail electric power suppliers (also known as load-serving entities) must purchase power directly from renewable electricity generators, or in some cases, are allowed to purchase renewable energy credits ...

WOW: Solar without subsidies now also in Germany!
As announced in my blog of January 21, 2019 "We will abolish the EEG in 2019", the implementation and project planning of large PV systems without subsidies have now been officially announced. A historical development - the third pillar besides EEG and own consumption, "PPA" is the key word. We'll talk about that on February 26, 2019 in Berlin, more here . While around 2 GW of wind energy with ...

The solar storm run - 20% more power at 25% lower costs within 15 months
Photovoltaic storm run: 20% more power at 25% lower costs for modules within 15 months. Frankfurt am Main, September 26, 2012: At the time (as editor) I invited pv magazine to a breakfast event during the EUPVSEC. The topic polarized: 300 GWp / a photovoltaics worldwide in 2025, for Germany a total of max. 200 GWp. As can be seen today: too conservative for Germany, but well on the global stage. ...

Which is more efficient solar or wind energy?
Before we start our reasoning, we'd like to remind you that both are renewables, and therefore both are great energy options to turn to to improve our planet and to break our addiction to oil and gas. Today we will try to answer a question that we often ask ourselves when we are interested in renewable energies : between solar and wind energy, which is the most efficient? First, let's take a ...

Want to improve wind and solar power? Bring them together
By combining intermittent renewable energy sources through hybrid projects, developers are taking advantage of the strengths of each. What’s keeping solar and wind power from fully taking over the electric grid? For starters, the sun only shines during the day. Wind blows intermittently, is seasonally variable, and is not always blowing when the energy is needed. But what if solar and wind ...

What rural Alaska can teach the world about renewable energy
I flew into Unalakleet, Alaska, on a late fall day. With about 700 people, Unalakleet is large by rural Alaska standards and serves as a regional hub. The village is located on a sandy spit of land where a clear river meets the turbid water of the Bering Sea. Out the plane window the sun shone bright, glittering off the wind-tossed whitecaps of the sea. To the east, the rolling Nulato Hills, clad ...
