KLODEN SMELTER
-
Jeg kan kun gentage argumentet fra sidste gang vi havde denne sag til debat. Danmark er i visse analyser det mest forurenende land målt pr. inhabita. Årsagen skal b.l.a. findes i Mærsk store containerflåde og de ufattelige mange pruttende pattegrise der produceres i dansk landbrug. Så af hensyn til den globale opvarmning plædere i for at dansk landbrug neddrosles og Mærsk sættes på porten? Come On.

OK cykling. Må indrømme jeg var lidt skuffet over dit svar, du virker ellers som en person der går ind for et bæredygtigt miljø.
Men Eggebrechts indlæg om at kloden smelter er stadig et faktum. Hvad årsager og løsninger kan være, lader jeg ligge. Dags nye udmelding omkring credit facility er vel positivt for os Vestas aktionære? Man vil afvikle gæld for mindst 4 Mia kroner de næste to år, og dette baseret på den ny forretningsmodel, som vel må tolkes som at der kan og skal tjenes penge i denne industri. Udmeldingen bekræftiger vel også at Vestas stadig tror på et positivt resultat for 2012. -
Den mest sandsynlige vej igennem kongressen ser stadig ud til at være s.3521, som først skal stemmes igennem senatet, før den ryger over til Repr. hus. (den blev godkendt i senatet's finans komite i aug).
Selvom den ikke direkte/officielt er en del af fiscal cliff forhandlingerne mellem Obama og Boehner, tyder det på at der ikke vil ske noget før der er en aftale på plads.
"Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said the Senate would wait to move on a $205 billion tax extenders package while President Obama and congressional leadership work on a "fiscal cliff" bargain."
De er jo efterhånden kendte for først at blive enige 1 minut i deadline, eller efter deadline.. Jeg tror derfor stadig først på en forlængelse omkring den 14. hvis det altså lykkes i år.

Godkendelse af Cape Cod slår hul til ofshore projekter i Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Virginia.

US to begin Atlantic wind energy lease sales in first half 2013
The Interior Department (DOI) in first half 2013 will offer leases for commercial wind energy development in federal waters off the coasts of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Virginia, with winners to be selected through a competitive bidding process.The areas proposed for leasing are expected to be able to support more than 4GW of wind generation - enough electricity to power an estimated 1.4 million homes, according to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), the DOI agency that oversees wind energy development on the outer continental shelf under federal jurisdiction.
"Today we are moving closer to tapping into this massive domestic energy resource to create jobs," says Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, adding the move will increase US energy security and strengthen its "competitiveness in this new energy frontier."
The area off Massachusetts and Rhode Island covers 164,750 acres (666.7sq km) and is located about 9.2 nautical miles (17km) south of the Rhode Island coastline. The area will be auctioned as two leases, referred to as the North Zone and South Zone.
The North Zone lease will consist of about 97,500 acres and has capacity to support more than 1GW of wind generation. The South Zone lease will consist of about 67,250 acres and is capable of supporting a project of between 350MW to 1GW.
The proposed area off Virginia will be auctioned as a single lease and totals about 112,800 acres and located roughly 23.5 nautical miles from the state's southern coast. It is expected to support more than 2GW of wind generation.
The three lease round winners will each have the exclusive right to submit a construction-operations plan to BOEM after conducting site assessment activities, which must be completed within a five-year period. Construction cannot proceed before the lease holders obtain the necessary environmental approvals as required by federal law.
The Proposed Sale Notices will be published in the Federal Register on 3 December. The 60-day comment period for the Notices ends on 1 February, 2013. Comments received or postmarked by that date will be made available to the public and considered prior to the publication of the Final Sale Notices.
BOEM will host a public seminar for each WEA during the comment period to introduce potential stakeholders to the auction format, explain the auction rules and demonstrate the auction process through meaningful examples.
The time and day of the lease sale auctions will be published via Final Sale Notices in the Federal Register, and will be held no earlier than 30 days after their publication date.
These will be the first competitive offshore wind energy lease sales under DOI's "Smart from the Start" initiative that Secretary Ken Salazar launched in November 2010, which aims to facilitate siting, leasing and construction.
The areas leased for the Cape Wind project south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and off the Delaware coast to a unit of NRG Energy, were issued by DOI after it determined there was no interest from other developers.
In response to a query last year from BOEM, the Massachusetts-Rhode Island area drew eight expressions of interest in possible commercial development from the private development community. At that time, BOEM had not divided the area into two zones.
They were Deepwater Wind, Energy Management Inc., enXco, Fishermen's Energy, Iberdrola Renewables, Mainstream Renewable Power, and little-known Neptune Wind and US Wind.
The Virginia area also drew eight responses: Apex, Arcadia, Cirrus Wind Energy, utility Dominion Virginia Power, enXco, Fishermen's Energy, Iberdrola Renewables.

Det er da interessant at der udbydes dyre offshore projekter når PTC står til at udløbe. Det er der ikke nogen logik i.
Offshore er langt dyrere pr. MW så enten gør US grin med vindenergi eller også forventer de en PTC ordning går igennem.
Jeg tror der arbejdes på en langsigtet PTC. Det er nødvendig hvis US vil være med til at nedbringe co2 og skabe flere energiløsninger med energi-sikkerhed og arbejdspladser som konsekvens. -
Kan I huske denne artikel?

På et eller andet plan støtter Maersk den grønne energi man kan bare håbe deres ambitioner er endnu større

Der findes mange projekter og gode idéer derude. Prøv at tjekke denne:
Kort fortalt, så går det ud på at gemme overskuds energi i trykluft.
Der skal køres prototype test meget snart.
Har i forbindelse med mit arbejde, designet og leveret nogle komponenter til denne maskine.
Det er en af de mest simple metoder jeg har set blive brugt til at lagre energi.
Maskinen er ikke meget større end at den kan stå i bunden af tårnet på en V112'er
