LATEST NEWS ON GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Nov. 18, 2008
Los Angeles, California
In his first speech on global warming since winning the election, Barack Obama promised Tuesday to set stringent limits on greenhouse
gas emission, stating that "the need is too urgent for delay."
In addition, Mr. Obama said that "the nation must cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 80 percent below the 1990 levels by the year 2050."
We Help Companies Reduce and
Eliminate
Greenhouse Gas Emissions and
Offer International Emissions Trading Services
Lower Your We help companies reduce their "carbon footprint," Carbon Emissions, Carbon Dioxide Emissions, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions, by providing solutions such as renewable energy technologies, renewable energy credits and carbon credits.
Did you know that the United States Congress will be passing the S. 2191 "Cap and Trade" Law in 2009?
Did you know that Supreme Court ruled in April (2008) that the EPA already has the authority to regulate Greenhouse Gas Emissions?
Are you ready for these new regulations? We can help you get ready!
www.GreenhouseGasEmissions.com is the leader in Greenhouse Gas Emissions trading, products and consulting services!
According to Mont Goodell, Chairman and President of the Renewable Energy Institute, Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Carbon Dioxide Emissions will be the worlds biggest commodity market and will probably soon be the worlds largest market, period." In fact, Mr. Goodell anticipates that Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Carbon Dioxide Emissions will become one of the fasting-growing commodities and markets ever.
Every day, leading companies are spending millions of dollars going "GREEN" and reducing their Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
The Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Carbon Dioxide Emissions Market Potential is staggering! According to a recent New York Times article, carbon trading is one of the fastest-growing specialties in financial services.
Already, Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading and International Carbon Trading markets are worth in excess of $50 billion/year. The United Nations expects this market to be valued in excess of $2 Trillion/year by 2012 and others are saying this could easily exceed $5 Trillion/year within the next several years!
DO THE MATH on the Carbon Dioxide Emissions market!
You may be wondering, how can such a
relatively new commodity grow so rapidly? Here in the USA, 40 billion tons of
Carbon Dioxide Emissions are produced every year. At the present price of $50 per ton
of carbon dioxide, the Carbon Dioxide
Emissions market is valued at $2.0 Trillion
(40 billion tons of Carbon Dioxide
Emissions x $50.00/ton).
Joint-Venture Partnerships
Now Available for
Multiple Wind Farm Projects in the "Wind-Belt" of the U.S.
Nothing quite compares with the opportunities in renewable energy technologies, and in particular, wind energy and wind farm development.
Wind energy and wind farm development is big business, and this is only the beginning! Today, less than 1% of our energy comes from wind energy.
President Bush and the U.S. government are calling for 20% of our nation's energy to come from wind energy by 2020.
Hundred of billions of dollars will be invested and made in wind energy!
Now is the time to get in on the ground floor of the wind energy and wind farm development business!
Look at the following facts about wind energy, according to the American Wind Energy Association (www.awea.org):
The U.S.
added nearly 1,400 megawatts of new wind energy capacity during the second
quarter of 2008.
New wind
turbines this year will generate 7,500 megawatts of additional electricity
which surpasses the 5,249 megawatts installed in 2007.
Wind
power accounted for more than one-third of the new electric generating
capacity installed in the U.S. in 2007.
The wind
industry is projected to grow at a 45 percent pace for the second straight
year.
For
every megawatt (MW) of wind energy produced, $1 million in economic
development is generated. This includes revenue from planning, construction,
etc.
Wind
energy revitalizes rural communities by providing steady income through
lease and royalty payments to farmers and other landowners.
Supplemental income: It is estimated that the income to a landowner from a single utility-scale turbine is approximately $2000 per year. For a 250-acre farm with income from wind at $55 per acre, this translates into an annual income from wind leases of $14,000, with no more than 2-3 acres removed from production.
We are developing new wind farms and High Voltage Power Lines in the "wind corridor" of the US. We have new wind farms and power lines located in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Minnesota and North Dakota and South Dakota.
Our Joint-Venture Partners can profit with us in the fastest-growing sector of all renewable energy technologies - wind farm development!
Our wind farm projects are selected for their wind resources, location, and the ability to generate above-average returns for our "team" which is made up by our landowners, our Joint-Venture Partners and our company.

Jobs:
Wind energy resources bring needed jobs to rural communities and bolster
farm incomes against bad weather. Worldwide, wind and solar industries are
likely to be one of the main sources of new manufacturing jobs in the 21st
century.
Wind
energy costs for consumers are low and stable. This is particularly
beneficial for those on fixed incomes.
As wind
energy production becomes more efficient, costs will decline, while fossil
fuel prices are expected to rise.
Wind
energy is a widespread, inexhaustible resource: 46 of 50 states have wind
resources that could be developed.
WIND
ENERGY: CARBON FREE ENERGY & POLLUTION FREE POWER!
Wind energy generates Carbon Free Energy and Pollution Free Power!
Power generated from the wind reduces smog and eliminates a major source of
acid rain. Wind energy has the potential to reduce Carbon Dioxide
Emissions (one of the most potent of all Greenhouse Gas Emissions) by 1/3 in
the U.S. and world Carbon Dioxide Emissions by 4%!
Potential
for growth: Development of just 10% of 10 of the windiest states could
provide more than enough energy to displace emissions from coal-fired power
plants.
Cleaner
air means healthier air, especially for people with respiratory
disabilities.
Wind Power Generation vs. Traditional Power Generation
Power
generated from clean, green wind energy avoids numerous negative effects of
traditional electricity generation from fossil fuels:
Emissions of mercury or other heavy metals into the air
Emissions associated with extracting and transporting fuels
Lake and streambed acidification from acid rain or mining
Water consumption associated with mining or electricity generation
Production of toxic solid wastes, ash, or slurry
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The benefits of wind-generated electricity go on, including the leading role
wind energy provides in reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions into the atmosphere -
the leading cause of climate change and global warming.
Today, Carbon Dioxide Emissions in the United States approaches 6 billion metric tons/year.
39% of these Carbon Dioxide Emissions are produced when electricity is generated from fossil fuels.
If the
United States obtained 20% of its electricity from wind energy, the country
could avoid putting 825 million metric tons of CO2 annually into the atmosphere
by 2030, or a cumulative total of 7,600 million metric tons by 2030.
A relatively straightforward metric used to understand the carbon benefits of
wind energy is that a single 1.5 MW wind turbine displaces 2,700 metric tons of
CO2 per year compared with the current U.S. average utility fuel mix, or the
equivalent of planting 4 square kilometers of forest every year according to
AWEA 2007.

2-Bladed
Wind Turbines
Versus
3-Bladed Wind Turbines
Why 3-Bladed Wind Turbines are Far Superior than
2-Bladed Wind Turbines
The argument has been settled and the debate is over.
Today's "modern" 3-bladed wind turbines represent the latest technological improvements in wind turbine generators, and are superior to the 20-30 year old technology that 2-bladed wind turbines represent.
First of all, it is important to remember that 2-bladed wind turbines may generate only about 90% of the power of a 3-bladed wind turbine of comparable size. While a 2-bladed wind turbine saves the weight of one extra blade when compared with a 3-bladed wind turbine, engineers of the most efficient wind turbines have determined that the extra blade used on 3 bladed wind turbines provide the optimum wind turbine efficiency and wind turbine design for the "ideal" wind turbine generators of today.
Secondly, the top-3 leading wind turbine manufacturers have standardized on the 3-bladed wind turbine. They do not manufacture any 2-bladed wind turbines. Plainly stated, a wind turbine with an even number of blades (2 blades or 4 blades) are NOT of optimum design or efficiency. In fact, this debate was settled years ago when the wind turbine engineers and designers began building wind turbines over 600 kW in power output.
The top-3 leading wind turbine manufacturers have standardized on the 3-bladed wind turbine. They do not manufacture any 2-bladed wind turbines. Plainly stated, a wind turbine with an even number of blades (2 blades or 4 blades) are NOT of optimum design or efficiency. In fact, this debate was settled years ago when the wind turbine engineers and designers began building wind turbines over 600 kW in power output.
The leading wind turbine manufacturers and their engineers have decided that 3 bladed wind turbines are the optimum number of wind turbine blades due to the stability of the wind turbine as well as the significant wind loads and stresses placed on a 2-bladed wind turbine. A wind turbine that has an odd number of blades is similar to a disc when calculating the computational fluid dynamics of the wind turbine. Engineers have learned that wind turbines that have an even number of blades - such as the 2 bladed wind turbines of the past - have stability problems for a machine with a stiff structure. The reason for this problem is simple, engineers recognized that when a 2-bladed wind turbine's top blade bends backwards - when the wind turbine's 2 blades are in the vertical position - since it is now generating the maximum power from the wind - that the lower or bottom blade is now aligned with the tower and the blade is hidden or blocked from the wind - and this generates a huge amount of stress and loads on the wind turbine and its' primary components such as the bearings, shaft, transmission etc.
Because of the extreme wind loads and stresses placed on 2-bladed wind turbines, the remaining 2-bladed wind turbine manufacturers have had to resort to a "teetered hub" that helps remove some of the stress and loads placed on 2-bladed wind turbines. While there are some very fine 2-bladed wind turbines, of smaller power output, the bottom line is, 3 bladed wind turbines are inherently better and more efficient than 2-bladed wind turbines.
For these reasons, community wind farm owners and developers, along with utility-scale wind farm owners and developers, would be wise to only consider 3-bladed wind turbines.
Why We Need Renewable Energy, NOW!
Mont Goodell, President of the Renewable Energy Institute, along with the Renewable Energy Institute's Scientific Advisory Board, which is comprised of our nation's leading experts, engineers, attorneys, professors and universities, is calling for our nation and all 50 states to adopt a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) of at least 25% by 2025. According to Mr. Goodell, our nation is at a crossroads and we have been 'over the Middle Eastern barrel of their fossil fuels' long enough. We must shift from energy dependence to energy independence and place significant emphasis and investments in our national energy security and lower greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, we need to implement a "Feed In Tariff" in lieu of a Renewable Portfolio Standard and build the 'Transmission Superhighway' or 'Unified National Grid' and dramatically increase the nation's power supply as well as implement greater use of 'Energy Conservation Measures' and 'Demand Side Management' programs. Failure to move in these areas and to do so immediately increases the risks to our country, our national security and the climate" according to Mr. Goodell.
One of the fastest paths to jump-start the renewable energy industry, according to the Renewable Energy Institute, is through a "Feed In Tariff. A Feed In Tariff is superior to a Renewable Portfolio Standard," according to Mr. Goodell. "Just look at Germany, they adopted a Feed In Tariff, are further north from the Equator than we are here in the U.S., and they are placing solar panels on every rooftop and wind turbine generators throughout their country. They are leading the world in renewable energy technologies, primarily due to their early adoption of a Feed In Tariff"
Renewable energy, and renewable energy only provides significant economic and environmental dividends, whether this is through a Renewable Portfolio Standard, or through a Feed-in Tariff, some of the economic and environmental dividends include:
Creation of more than 3 million new jobs in the U.S..

Position the US as a world leader in renewable energy technologies
According to the Energy Information Administration, the total US primary energy consumption is expected to increase from 100 quadrillion Btu (quads) in 2005 to 131 quads in 2030. However, the renewable electricity generation remains at 9% while use of coal increases 50 percent in 2030 to 57%. Ethanol use is expected to increase from 4 billion gallons in 2005 to 14.6 billion gallons in 2030, yet that is only about 8% of total gasoline consumption.
In January (2008) the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) blamed the burning of fossil fuels as a key contributor to global warming and accelerating climate change. The NCDC warned that the rate of the warming is accelerating and that the rise in temperatures over the past 9 years is unprecedented in the historical record." This was underscored in February (2008) in the consensus report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that concluded with near certainty that human activity was the main contributor to global warming.
The renewable energy industry, single-handedly, provides a powerful argument and solutions for these problems.
Global warming and climate change are symptoms of a sick planet and the results of unrestrained "dumping" of huge amounts of pollution - in the form of carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.
The vast
majority of carbon dioxide emissions
and greenhouse gas emissions comes
from "dirty" fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) used in making
electricity at power plants and dirty fuels (gasoline and petroleum diesel) that
run our internal combustion engines in our cars, trains, planes, and trucks. Our
planet is home to millions and millions of internal combustion engines that run
on dirty fossil fuels - whether they are fueled with gasoline for running our
cars and lawnmowers or running on diesel fuel in the engines of trucks and ships
like the very large crude carriers that transport the crude oil all around the
world...... every internal combustion engine that is running on dirty fossil
fuels is dumping millions and millions of tons of carbon
dioxide emissions and greenhouse gas
emissions into our atmosphere - which is aggravating and exacerbating our
sick planet - and making manmade climate change and global warming more
difficult to resolve through manmade remedies and solutions.
Why We Need A
"Unified Smart Grid" or
"Transmission Superhighway," NOW!
According to Mont Goodell, President of the Renewable Energy Institute, "our country desperately needs to upgrade its' national electric grid. The grid of today is a relic from the past, that is inefficient and costly. Originally built in the 1930's, it is costing our nation approximately $120 billion every year due to its' outdated and out-lived existence. The national power grid as designed and built in the 1930's does not have the efficiencies and capabilities to keep pace with the national power grid's demands of today."
"What we need" according to Mr. Goodell, is what former Vice President Al Gore calls a "Unified Smart Grid" or what we prefer to call a "Transmission Superhighway."
A
Transmission Superhighway would be buried underground and
"wheels" renewable power ("green electricity") from the wind
farms of the midwest, and solar farms of the southwest, and geothermal farms of
the west, to load centers throughout every corner of the U.S."
According to many estimates, the "Unified Smart Grid" or
"Transmission Superhighway" could be built for about $400 billion.
Through its' increased efficiencies, savings and reliability improvements that
it will provide, the nation's new "unified smart grid" will be paid in
full, in less than 4 years.
