POPSWill We See Another Land Rush to Steal Indian Land for Solar Gold? Custer's Last Stand came after some gold fever, Oklahoma was supposed to be the "refuge" of Native Americans kicked out of homelands in North Carolina, Tennessee, Michigan and Wisconsin, as well as Ohio - until "we" decided we wanted it to. Who will the Sooners be this time? A suddenly "green" BP or Shell?

POPS Green Jobs ~ Fact OR Fiction? Mistaking a labor-intensive energy sector as the goal, rather than efficient energy provision. Counting job creation but ignoring job destruction. Double counting of jobs and overly simplistic treatment of the labor market. Ignoring the role of the private sector. How much government support of “green” markets is enough? Are the programs sustainable? Government picking of winners and losers, a classic example of unsound energy policy. Assuming that potential benefits from new technologies will only occur through government programs.

POPSCorn Ethanol’s Promise is Evaporating
Increasingly more subsidies are given to the production of corn ethanol at the expense of a diversified and sustainable energy future. Ethanol lobbyists are pushing for more ethanol to be put into America’s gas powered vehicles which will require fuel system modifications. Fuel mileage improvement is negligible and does not reduce our dependence on fossil fuel. http://www.americanfuels.info/2008/03/ethanol-and-fuel-mileage.html Ethanol fuel mileage http://www.satireandcomment.com/sc0308ethanol.html The Ethanol Fallacy Leadership in sustainable energy needs to: # Phase out tax credits for corn ethanol and subsidize other biofuels only if they show clear promise to meet strict climate and environmental protection standards # Rebalance the U.S. renewable energy and energy conservation portfolio to favor options that do the most to reduce fossil fuel use, safeguard the environment, spur more widely-shared economic development and increase energy security I don’t see that lea

POPSObama plans to Double Spending on Renewable Energy While clean energy is obviously good for the environment, this plan has benefits that are even more immediate. Simply put: clean energy jobs are hard to outsource. Therefore benefits of increasing spending on clean energy are twofold. Firstly, Obama hopes to create jobs that keep Americans employed. Secondly, clean energy decreases reliance on imported oil, coal and gas. Another point is that by becoming a leader in clean technology, America has skills that other countries will have a need for. Germany among other solar energy leaders as already found their technologies are very exportable

POPSLong-distance demonstration of solar-powered wireless power transmission achieved In the longer term, with sufficient investments in space infrastructure, space solar power can be built from materials from space. The full environmental benefits of space solar power derive from doing most of the work outside of Earth's biosphere. With materials extraction from the Moon or near-Earth asteroids, and space-based manufacture of components, space solar power would have essentially zero terrestrial environmental impact. Only the energy receivers need be built on Earth.

POPSA dash of lime -- a new twist that may cut CO2 levels back to pre-industrial levels Tim Kruger, a management consultant at London firm Corven is the brains behind the plan to resurrect the lime process. He argues that it could be made workable by locating it in regions that have a combination of low-cost 'stranded' energy considered too remote to be economically viable to exploit – like flared natural gas or solar energy in deserts – and that are rich in limestone, making it feasible for calcination to take place on site.

POPSCan Solar ETFs Shine? There's lots of room for growth in this sector so you know it's just a matter of time before a bunch of new ETFs roll out. Today, Market Vectors Solar Energy (KWT) joins Claymore/MAC Global Solar as the second solar ETF play. The problem these ETFs--and the sure-to-come new ones--wiil face is that solar energy is still a very expensive way to generate energy.

POPSSolar City in Alice Springs Interesting idea. However, one of the major benefits of solar energy (in my opinion) is it's decentralizing of energy. In effect, each person can be responsible, to a degree, for their own electricity. This ownership by the individual is both empowering and democratic. This gives greater responsibility to the individual. I think this is one of the major changes that needs to happen for our consumption to be more sustainable.
