We need all possible sources of energy to replace our dependence on declining fossils fuels
We have heard a lot from politicians over the last month about the economy, immigration, defence and tax. However there has been very little discussion about how we are going to deal with one of the biggest issues facing this country over the next decade. Where is our energy going to come from? With plentiful supplies of coal in the first half of the 20th century and gas and oil from the North Sea since the 1980s, the UK has until recent times... [more]
Flexitricity brings increased energy-asset reliability to UK businesses and reduces carbon emissions in the national electricity system
Flexitricity believes it could unlock revenue streams worth millions of pounds annually to private industry, and help reduce Britain’s carbon footprint, using a unique system that harnesses the hidden flexible capabilities of existing commercial energy assets, such as standby generators, electricity consuming equipment, combined heat and power (CHP) generators and hydro generators. Using its patented aggregation technology, Flexitricity’s cli... [more]
Closure of the Low Carbon Buildings Programme could put the brakes on the growth of renewables in the UK
The Low Carbon Buildings Programme (LCBP) scheme was closed to applications on Monday 24 May 2010, and although projects which have already applied for funding will be considered, no new applications can now be made. Dimplex has expressed concern over the sudden closure of the Low Carbon Buildings Programme following the new coalition government’s withdrawal of grant funding for renewables projects as part of its plan to make immediate spendin...

A third of house buyers would pay more for a home that had been fitted with a renewable energy source
According to research released by the Energy Saving Trust reveals, a third of Britons (35%) said they would be willing to pay more for a home where some of their energy supply came from renewable resources such as wind, solar or hydropower. And it seems that Britons are more interested than ever about installing a renewable energy source to their property. Almost half of those surveyed (49%) said they would like to know if their home is suitable ... [more]
Firechill eco-cooling products capture waste heat
Two new products have been created which are energy efficient and can provide significant cost savings of between 15% and 60% depending on application. When operating at its most efficient and in a Combined Cooling Heat and Power environment, each carbon-cutting system offers a reduction of up to 40 tonnes of CO2 per year. Firechill products will challenge the traditional air-con market by offering new applications to solve climate and energy-... [more]

A great project; a bad process
Building a city-owned cogeneration power plant to serve industries near the Denton Airport is a forward-thinking idea that we have already endorsed in this space. Slipping around the voters to get it done was a misguided tactic that could further erode the already deteriorating confidence that Denton residents have in their leaders. We wish the city had found another way to get this project done.
Seeking sustainability with turbine system
The Cates Utility Plant renovation installed two 5.5 megawatt combustion turbines Thursday, Dec. 15, 2011. The generators work more efficiently than regular generators because they use the waste heat from the combustion reaction to heat steam, yielding more power.
Power plant sidesteps voters
A state law that allows Denton to build a power plant and sell natural gas to industries near Denton Airport also allowed the city to bypass a charter provision that could have required voter approval of the project.
National forests hold the promise of green energy
Green energy is among the myriad reasons to keep our national forests open to the “many uses” intended by the Forest Reserve Act of 1891. Federally owned forests comprise 192 million acres. According to some estimates, nearly 80 percent of this total requires thinning to mitigate risk of fire.
