The “Solinator” Solar Powered Chariot!
Archived in the category: solar power
http://www.HippyGourmet.com
To celebrate Governor Schwarzenegger for all his efforts to increase the usage of solar powered technologies in the state of California, we reconnect with inventor Bob Schneeveis who has a birthday gift to share with the Governor.
In this solar powered TV segment from the Hippy Gourmet television series, we revisit with Bob as he shows us his updated solar powered roller blading chariot! This version has Governor Schwarzenegger carrying a message of a better environment through solar power!
Bob’s also upgraded the chariot with a solar voltaic convertible top that’s totally modular and helps charge the vehicle’s batteries, proving that solar panels fit perfectly on top of vehicles.
We’re just so proud of Bob Schneeveis for all of his inventiveness and creativity, and also so pleased with Governor Schwarzenegger’s commitment to solar power and a cleaner environment.

Alternate Energy 3, solar power off grid economic collapse
Archived in the category: solar power
In this short video series we will explore the basics of setting up an alternate energy system. What each component does, how it functions and it’s place in an off grid system. Designed specifically for the homesteader or survivalist, this video is designed to help get you started on your road to energy independence!
The system shown runs a house approximately 1,500 sq. feet plus intermittant lighting and tool use on a couple of outbuildings. The house uses LP gas for water heater and cook stove. Everything else except AC is ran off this system.
No matter what your preparing for: nuclear war, terrorism, economic collapse, market crash, food shortages, famine, etc. Having a working Alternate energy system can help greatly around your homestead or survival retreat.
There is one section of this video that has poor lighting, this could not be helped. If your looking for Spielberg cinematography, you came to the wrong place! We know the lighting is bad in that part, no need for immature comments regarding this. If you don’t like, don’t watch!

APS Announces New Solar Power Plant, Among World’s Largest
Archived in the category: solar power
PHOENIX — Arizona Public Service Co. (APS) today announced plans for one of the world’s largest solar facilities - a 280-megawatt (MW) concentrating solar power (CSP) plant to be built 70 miles southwest of Phoenix, in Gila Bend, Ariz. The Solana Generating Station will produce enough energy to serve 70,000 APS customers when operating at full capacity. The plant will be built by Abengoa Solar Inc., and is scheduled to provide renewable energy beginning in 2011. Spanish for “sunny place,” Solana will not emit greenhouse gases and will provide APS with more solar electricity per customer than any utility in the U.S. The facility also would be the largest solar power plant in the world if in operation today.

Is Solar Power Good Business? - VOA Story
Archived in the category: solar power
Climate change is now a popular topic. World leaders are discussing it this week at the G8 summit in Prague. And just last week in San Jose, California, high tech industry leaders gathered to give solar energy a boost. The global warming issue definitely is hot.
Al Gore’s documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth”, helped make human induced climate change a glitzy issue. The film won an Academy award and has gotten a lot of attention.
But is climate change now good business?
The St. Francis of isi School in London is the first of 100 schools across Britain that will be fitted with solar technology.
And in Palo Alto, California, the sun powers all the townhouses in a development that opened just last month. Stephanie Pruitt, of Warmington Homes, says, “It will create significant cost savings in electricity bills for homeowners. And we do see this as the wave of the future.”
Nearby, the Silicon Valley area hopes to take the lead in the solar power industry.
Solar power is a $15 billion global industry. Not huge, but the Solar Energy Industries ociation in the U.S. says the business is expanding by 40 percent each year. Businessman Alan Gartner says it is striving to meet the needs of the market. “I do not think I would be here unless I thought our company was wildly capable of morphing and changing and meeting whatever the needs of the energy market are.”
Industry leaders say they still need istance from national governments. In the U.S., the push is to extend tax credits.
But the development in Palo Alto is attracting energy-conscious consumers. One consumer said, “Even if it was a little more expensive, which I do not think it was, it is going to pay for itself with the energy savings every month.”
Twenty two of the 28 units put on sale in Palo Alto last month sold in the first week. That should encourage the Silicon Valley business people.
