Windpower Consolidation is Ongoing and Heated

December 5, 2006

AMSC Buys Austrian Wind Turbine Manufacturer | www.renewableenergyaccess.com

The reported acquisition is quite minor, and doesn't signify any change in the industry which isn't already ongoing.

M & A activity is already at a high level, and increasing.

Important Step For Suzlon

December 1, 2006

Suzlon Announces Production of 1st Wind Turbine Blade in USA | www.renewableenergyaccess.com

Suzlon's commencement of rotor blade production in the US is not only a big step forward in its attack on the major manufacturers' market share in the US.  This is also evidence of what all manufacturers are likely to do when entering new markets.  Evaluation of the various manufacturers' capabilities must now include analyzing the delivery of key local components.

Limp response from Scotland's First Minister

November 30, 2006

Iberdrola to buy Scottish Power in $22.5 bln deal | www.washingtonpost.com

The Robert Barr article quotes Scotland's First Minister Jack McConnell as seeking assurances from the EU on the Iberdrola take over of Scottish Power, but refusing to say whether the deal would be good or bad for Scottish business. In reality the First Minister has very little say in the matter, but needs to say something as he has to fight a general election in May 2007 and is currently well behind in the opinion polls to the Scottish National Party. Energy matters are not a devolved power to the Scottish Parliament and are a reserved power for the Westminster Government of Tony Blair.

CO2 Report Boosts Windpower, Solar energy

November 1, 2006

British CO2 Report Supports Renewables Increase | news.independent.co.uk

The seriousness of the Stern Report's conclusions are the most damaging assessment yet of the economic cost of continuing to ignore the damages to society from burning fossil fuels.

"Radical measures" to respond to global warming are recommended by the report, and the government of the UK has asked German Chancellor Angela Merkel to make it the centerpiece of her EU presidency beginning in January.

Both the PM and the Chancellor accept that this means new green taxes.

Debunking the Myth of Alternative Energy

October 26, 2006

The Myth Of Alternative Energy | www.countercurrents.org

The article is so filled with technical ignorance that has been proven long ago that it should not be dignified with a response.  Why it appears on a professional site is beyond me.

Oil is not anything approaching a perfect fuel, even if global warming or the need for humans to breathe unpolluted air didn't exist.

Renewable energy can replace all current and projected energy use, in all necessary forms, within decades, period.

An Old Idea Gains New Converts

October 26, 2006

Floating Wind Turbines the Wave of the Future | www.renewableenergyaccess.com

Floating wind turbines were first proposed in the early 1970's by the chief designer of the Nautilus class of nuclear submarines, Prof. Wm. E. Heronemus.  He proposed an Apollo program to use offshore windpower to make hydrogen around the globe.  This energy would be used to replace all fossil fuels.

Research programs in Europe, Japan, and even the US have produced floating designs, most based upon oil rig technical development.
