The discussion continues regarding the potential of a no cost power system. The idea being that, by harnessing the best technology, power may be created in a fashion that might provide an infinite and abundant supply. Although many aredebating whether or not this know-how even exists – i have identified other people that have moved forward, having experienced these types of units in action but are asking questions like how much power do they generate and could it be used on a much larger scale.

Now the technological know-how exists nonetheless it seriously has not taken that huge leap forward to be used on a mass scale. For the ordinary homeowner, this really is still excellent news. Most home owners are not interested in powering vast structures. Should this technology create sufficient electricity to run a normal size house, then the questions which we should be asking might be how much may it cost and will it be reliable.

The idea of perpetual motion has been around for quite some time. A device which once started does not require an outward power source to continue working is certainly not science fiction, but is based on technology. The problem that most individuals have on the subject of perpetual motion is that it is not easy to perceive that a machine might continue to work with no external factors, in fact, the perpetual motion devices that function produce more energy than they require to operate.

It isn’t uncommon for hydrogen plants to make use of the power they produce to continue to run while the remaining energy is stored and used in our households, so why is it so difficult to suppose that a smaller device is able to do a similar thing within each of our very homes.

Magnetic power is resulting from the polar influence that magnets have. This flux of attraction and repulsion allow for motion which in turn will be modified into power. The science has not been given a lot of newspaper and tv attention, chiefly because the larger corporations can’t see a way to manufacture these systems on a large scale and profit by them. For your ordinary man on the street, these devices are outstanding, needing very little maintenance and will make an incredibly consistent and justifiable output.

The home magnetic generator is a excellent diy undertaking for anyone who has fair do-it-yourself skills and needs to save money on their electrical energy bill.

For anyone that lives in Wilmington, DE that is wondering if you can get solar energy grants, the answer is anyone can get a grant for solar power if you qualify. In order to find out if you qualify for a grant for geo energy, you need to take time to do your own research on this subject. This article is going to provide as much information as possible, but more research will be required to find out for sure if you can receive a grant.

Many people know that solar grants serve a really good purpose because the more renewable energy sources that can be installed and used; the better it is on the planet. They also allow many people to start using solar power that wouldn’t be able to without the grants. Not to mention the amount of money people will save on their electric bills every month.

These grants are being issued by the government for many people because they are starting to realize how important this is to the economy and to the problem of global warming. With solar power, the effects of global warming are reduced because they are not dependent on expensive fuels that pollute the air around you.

When searching for information about this subject, always take time to learn as many tips on grants as possible. This will help you determine more easily if this is a grant that can be used for helping you get the solar power needed to power your home’s electricity. The internet is the best place to go for researching this subject because there is a lot of useful information to be found.

Besides using the internet, in the United States, the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy or the EERE is your best place to call for information on solar grants. They will be able to provide much needed information because they are involved in many strategies that will help to increase the use of renewable energy.

Always take time to check with the state that you live in to find out what their requirements are for receiving a grant for adding solar energy to power your home. Each state may vary on the requirements, so always check this before trying to get any grant for solar energy. Don’t just assume that you can’t get solar energy grants until you have taken the time to do the research to determine this for sure.

Mike McNern has ran into many brick walls while trying to institute a simple program to stimulate the alternative energy industry in Colorado and the neighboring area. He would appreciate an opportunity to promote electrical generation with wind, solar, and hydrogen and stimulating the alternative energy economy with like-minded people. Mike McNern has encountered some obstacles to the green economy, some of which are as follows: -

1) Excel, a large multi-state power company tried to place a 2.6 cent / kWh capability surcharge on anyone installing solar energy whether you needed their power from the grid or not. This was defeated after much screaming and hollering. If the sun comes up in the morning, they send you a bill.

2) He spoke to representatives of two US Senators to get support for putting people back to work with the project outline in the following text called PAWE. One called it socialism to put people back to work and feed their children. The stimulus money spent to stimulate the moribund economy is being siphoned away by large corporations like the defense contractor Lockheed Martin, or is never spent at all.

I would like to share with you Mike McNern’s proposal called Practical Applications of Wind Energy and hope that this will fit with your vision for putting people back to work, stimulating the wind and solar industries, and creating a substantial reduction on America’s need to import foreign oil. I seek your help and advice on moving this project forward. Mike McNern is looking for a mentor familiar with grant applications and to hear what you have to say about putting people back to work doing necessary work stimulating the alternative energy economy.

Mike McNern has shot a documentary to accompany course materials and has completed a 5 minute demo video showing the successes and failures of wind pioneers and wind entrepreneurs throughout the state of Colorado. You can view this proposal as a video in the original article I posted on Pledging for Change (see resource box).

Much of the wind resource mapping done to date as w ell as production tax credits benefit only the large scale wind developer and utility companies. Many ranchers with significant wind resources are not able to sell their power to a market that wants renewable energy as a substitute for fossil fuels. Mike McNern has a solution that will benefit homeowners and ranchers, put people back to work, and train people to perform work that cannot be out-sourced to India and China.

A program for small to medium size wind turbines is needed to do the following:
Help create a public-private partnership by bring together interestested ranchers with representatives of the utility companies, government agencies, and equipment vendors, and lenders.

Assist ranchers and homeowners in gathering wind data specific to their land by providing off the shelf anemometer equipment that is easily integrated into their home computer equipment and whose data is readily accessed from the Internet.

Put local people back to work assembling wind towers, and erecting towers with the anemometers attached.

Gather needed wind data to encourage a market in renewable energy equipment such as wind turbines, photovoltaic cells, inverters, voltage controllers, and appropriate deep cell batteries.

Practical Applications of Wind Energy (PAWE) is a program to assist ranchers and home owners to help determine whether wind energy or a wind / solar combination is a viable alternative at their site.

PAWE consists of the following:

1) A seminar to teach ranchers, farmers, and homeowners how to determine their power consumption and whether they can expect to reach that power use through wind and solar electrical power generation. Explain how tax credits can offset some of that cost.

2) Gather data from the ranchers in the classroom to find the most suitable locations for the loaned anemometer, software, and tower. The equipment is off the shelf, grants are needed to make this affordable.

3) Install a low cost anemometer with an attached radio transmitter. Send the data from the anemometer to the rancher’s home computer. This data can be uploaded to the Internet allowing one to remotely determine the viability of the wind collection site. Determine whether signal repeaters are necessary once the optimum wind site has been located.

4) Assist homeowners and ranchers to make the best decisions regarding how to build a scalable wind / solar system. Provide assistance in classroom setting to determine how much power is required at their home, and determine the economic effectiveness for a wind and solar power system at that site. Bring in wind turbine and solar photo voltaic vendors to sing the praises of their equipment.

USA is is now and has always been bursting at the seams with innovators and idealists creating better solutions. Secondly, these innovators are analogous to mechanics building the first cars in their garages, film is the best medium to take their ideas out of woods where these folks tend to live and bring their ideas into the mainstream. Film can bridge the genius of these first mechanics and show people how wind / solar can be a more turnkey type of operation.

Upon request Mike McNern will send you the following:
1. Proposal for the creation of the Colorado Conservation Corps and the Practical Applications of Wind Energy Seminar.
2. Practical Applications of Wind Energy skill set
Phase 1 – staff and volunteer training required for the wind energy seminar, wind tower construction, and data collection and analysis.
Phase 2 – staff and volunteer training required for wind turbine installation and integration of wind turbines and solar photovoltaic modules.
3. Practical Applications of Wind Energy Seminar Outline

Mike McNern has spoken on several occasions to the regional representative of Sen. Bennet, Annie Oatman-Gardner, and has met with Senator Udall’s regional representative, Casey Howard. Although everyone loves the idea of a green energy project that is long on putting people to work , Mike McNern is still looking for constructive information on finding individuals who have grant money for putting people back to work.

With your help, Mike Mcnern can train people to produce their own energy, and to put people back to work. When people enjoy the dignity of a job that needs to be done, you feed their souls and their children.

Consider this Chinese proverb: ” When the wind changes direction, there are those who build walls and those who build windmills.”

Tulsa Mayor Kathy Taylor and her staff have sent a strong educational message to Oklahoma school administrators, teachers and students. With the alliance of Global NES, Inc. Headquarters, Global NES-Oklahoma and Kaizen Renewable Energy (A Global NES Affiliate), the city of Tulsa recently embarked on a School Wind Program that is 100% funded by outside sources. Kaizen Renewable Energy CEO/owner,
Lisa Randolph, who was raised in Tulsa, introduced the program to the city of Tulsa to raise awareness and educate students on how utilizing renewable energy resources will positively impact their future world.

The School Wind Program is the brainchild of Global NES, Inc., an international renewable energy firm specializing in large scale projects for commercial applications, non-profits and municipalities. They are donating a wind turbine and curriculum to Hamilton Middle School under their local Oklahoma State Affiliate,
Global NES-Oklahoma. The donation is being awarded to Hamilton Middle School because of a winning essay written by student, Adriana Rodriguez. The winning essay, ‘Sustainable Energy: It’s Important to
Our Community’, was submitted for the Sustainable Energy Essay Contest held by Tulsa Public Schools and the City of Tulsa. The essay contest second and third place winners, respectively, are Ryan Bunch and Brienna Milleson from Thoreau Demonstration Academy; their school will receive a science project kit donated by Global NES, Inc.

Following the installation of the wind turbine, Tulsa Public Schools and the City of Tulsa will hold a renewable energy celebration on November 5, 2009 from 1:00PM-2:30PM at The Helmzar Facility located at 1006 N. Quaker, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74106. In attendance will be Beth Chenoweth and Lisa Witzel, owners of Global NES-Oklahoma, Lisa Randolph CEO/owner of Kaizen Renewable Energy (A Global NES Affiliate), and personnel from Global NES, Inc. Headquarters out of Denver.

In what is likely an attempt to jump on board with the rest of the nation’s plans to utilize renewable energy sources, the mayor of Cincinnati has proposed a plan that outlines a 2 percent greenhouse gas emissions reduction each year all the way through to 2028. His climate protection plan was unanimously approved of by the committee that Mayor Mark Mallory appointed last November.

The goals of the mayor’s plan, according to the 209 page proposal, are based on 3 considerations:

1. the level of reductions necessary to stabilize the Earth’s climate at a tolerable level
2. the commitments being made by other cities and counties across the country and around the world
3. the availability of practical, affordable emission reduction measures in Cincinnati that are consistent with the multiple objectives established for this effort

Although the plan outlines over 80 greenhouse emission reduction measures, for the sake of condensing it to the purposes of this post, only the top items of the proposal will be expanded upon.

Transportation
According to the report, 26.6 percent of Cincinnati’s greenhouse gas emissions come via transportation. The committee who created the proposal feels that by reducing the amount of vehicle miles traveled, improving the fuel economy, and reducing the amount of carbon in fuel, a significant diminution of emissions will result. More details on the specific methods proposed for each of these items can be found in the proposal.

Energy
Through the research completed to create this proposal, it was found that almost 75 percent of Cincinnati’s emissions stem from the energy use in buildings. Currently, coal is used to generate the electricity that is causing the emissions to be produced. By implementing alternative sources for energy, drastic reductions can be formed. Through the adoption of such resources as wind and biomass, Cincinnati feels this mission reduction goal can be accomplished.

Waste
At this time, Rumpke Landfill allows the emission from methane to be kept at a minimum. However, the Cincinnati mayor believes further reduction by as much as 40 percent can be had through recycling the materials that are disposed of in the landfill.

Food
The last aspect of the proposal’s Emission Reduction Measures that will be touched upon in this post is food. This is an area that did not receive much attention by members of the proposal’s task force, but one that, according to the plan, needs more focus. As the proposal states, “an increasing body of literature documents the GHG impact of food choices.” Though it is likely not going to get as much focus as some of the other 80 items on the list, it is an item that may impact Cincinnati’s overall production of greenhouse gas emissions.

Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory’s plan was proposed on Friday, April 25th, to the steering committee. Although it was approved by all in the committee, Mallory now needs to forward the plan to the City Council of Cincinnati.For more information related to please visit Green Energy and Geothermal Energy
