Green House Decathlon

renewable energy green blog

"It's about asking questions and assessing your own lifestyle to live in a more sustainable way."
Jonathon Hanson, Team Boston Member

by Deb Powers

Earlier this week, I linked to a story about the Green House Decathlon being judged this week on the National Mall in D.C. The contest pits twenty teams of college students against each other in building a sustainable house using principles of green building. From my local paper this morning - an interview and photos of my local Team Boston's Curio House. With eight of the ten categories scored, Curio House is in 11th place, but the team has high hopes.

Green Jobs Good Jobs

renewable energy green blog

"It’s encouraging to see that in a dire economic situation, one of the few places we’re seeing job creation is in the clean-tech industry."
Ron Pernick, Clean Edge

by Deb Powers

Green Inc. at the NYTimes is nearly always a good read, and this morning is no exception. The thought-provoking question posed: are green jobs good jobs? Jennifer Kho points out, for instance, that a report from a U.S. Senate subcommittee found that many green labor jobs pay as little as $8.25 to $11 an hour. Green engineering jobs pay more, and I suspect we'll see wages in the green industry sector rise as competition for skilled green workers increases.

Our Sunshine is Contaminated

renewable energy green blog

"Our sunshine and wind are contaminated by the elements of dishonesty and lack of seriousness on the part of government officials. They cannot produce the electric energy our communities need to make up for what NEPA can't supply."
Mallam Ibrahim Ahmed, Sokoto, Nigeria

by Deb Powers

Nigeria may be one of the most potent sources for renewable energy in the world. The abundance of sunshine, water and wind makes the country a natural target for solar and wind energy developers. Unfortunately, say many Nigerians, that potential is contaminated by the corruption and lack of commitment from the government. This article from AllAfrica.com is an absolute must-read for anyone who wants to understand how the best of intentions and programmes can wilt when they are poorly managed by corrupt and inefficient officials.

Governator Signs MOU

renewable energy green blog

"[W]e are taking action so that California will be able to meet its ambitious renewable energy and environmental goals."
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Calif. Governor

by Deb Powers

The Governator is making green news yet again. Last week, he vetoed hard-fought green energy legislation because of a protectionist clause in the bills. This week, the California governor is in the spotlight again for signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. The MOU is an agreement between the state and federal government to streamline and expedite siting for over 30 new clean energy projects in the Golden State.

Schwarzenegger Vetoes Bill

renewable energy green blog

"The UK has one of the biggest potentials for green energy in Europe and could become a world leader in this field."
Robin Webster, Friends of the Earth

by Deb Powers

As threatened, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has vetoed green energy legislation passed by the legislature in September. Schwarzenegger has made it clear that he would veto the bill unless the legislature amended it to remove what he calls "protectionist" clauses that require energy and resources to be bought and sourced only within California. The Governator has his own plan, which he believes is better for the state and its budget.
