Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced the approved permit for Cape Wind Associates to build the 130-turbine farm in Nantucket Sound. Cape Wind says it can generate power by 2012 and aims to eventually supply three-quarters of the power on Cape Cod to the approximately 225,000 residents while creating green jobs and tapping s domestic energy source. Exactly a year ago, President Obama made an Earth Day speech in support of wind and the Obama Administration's Interior Department announced new offshore renewable energy regulations setting the stage for today's Cape Wind permit approval. That the framework for how leases will be issued and revenue shared has nearby coastal states receiving 27.5 percent of the royalties generated from electricity production. But for all the up-to-the-minute controversy roiling the Massachusetts coastal waters, read more...]]> http://susty.com/cape-wind-green-light-government-approval-first-offshore-wind-farm-united-states-alternative-energy-cape-cod/feed/ 1 http://susty.com/big-oil-company-climate-bill-support-john-kerry-senator-politics-global-warming-energy-legislation/ http://susty.com/big-oil-company-climate-bill-support-john-kerry-senator-politics-global-warming-energy-legislation/#comments Fri, 23 Apr 2010 19:30:24 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=9037 http://susty.com/big-oil-company-climate-bill-support-john-kerry-senator-politics-global-warming-energy-legislation/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/algae-biofuel-breakthrough-pentagon-jet-fighters-airplanes-alternative-energy-renewable/ http://susty.com/algae-biofuel-breakthrough-pentagon-jet-fighters-airplanes-alternative-energy-renewable/#comments Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:21:05 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=8882 http://susty.com/algae-biofuel-breakthrough-pentagon-jet-fighters-airplanes-alternative-energy-renewable/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/daily-show-water-crisis-book-unquenchable-author-robert-glennon-video/ http://susty.com/daily-show-water-crisis-book-unquenchable-author-robert-glennon-video/#comments Wed, 22 Jul 2009 03:09:52 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=7184 Unquenchable: America's Water Crisis and What To Do About It. While Stewart sees the realities of our water sitch as a bit of a revelation, Glennon points out what many have known for a while: all of the water used in our homes is potable, but only ten percent is used for drinking and cooking. Just take a guess where the rest of it goes...]]> http://susty.com/daily-show-water-crisis-book-unquenchable-author-robert-glennon-video/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/google-global-warming-fight-data-center-no-chillers/ http://susty.com/google-global-warming-fight-data-center-no-chillers/#comments Sat, 18 Jul 2009 03:39:11 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=7103 Data Center Knowledge explains that the chillers used to refrigerate water to cool data centers require, unsurprisingly, a large amount of electricity to operate. The quest for cost-effective energy via efficiency has led to a practice known as “free cooling:” air from outside the data center is used when the temperature is cool, while falling back on chillers on warmer days. Google takes this strategy to the next level eliminating chillers altogether in its data center near Saint-Ghislain, Belgium. Bonus feature is an on-site water purification facility that allows it to use water from a nearby industrial canal rather than a municipal water utility. Google anticipates free cooling at the facility for about seven days per year, but what's really fascinating is what happens when the weather gets hot.]]> http://susty.com/google-global-warming-fight-data-center-no-chillers/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/green-economy-under-construction-state-department-action-photo-gallery/ http://susty.com/green-economy-under-construction-state-department-action-photo-gallery/#comments Tue, 28 Apr 2009 05:53:04 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6118 the State Department yesterday, the goings on in the photos sure do make us wish we could have stopped by, perhaps even with cool-o wind turbine effigy in hand. in addition to the good time had by the approx 150 people involved in the action, the organizers handed out quotes by people from around the world about their local green economy to Jonathan Pershing's (Deputy Special Envoy for Climate Change) assistant.
