The Golden State is about to get one hell of a solar boost, as Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar just gave the green light for the construction of the Desert Sunlight Solar Farm – a 550 megawatt solar power project that will be built in the California desert east of Palm Springs.
The photovoltaic solar facility will generate enough energy to power 165,000 homes while bolstering the local economy by creating more than 630 jobs during its construction. The plant will use state-of-the-art ultra-thin photovoltaic (PV) technology to generate electricity with low visual impact and no air emissions, waste production or water use. In fact, it is expected to have the smallest carbon footprint of any PV technology.

Desert Hills Dairy of Nevada has joined with Carbon Bank Ireland, an emerging leader in cap-and-trade carbon emissions markets, to build the state’s first biogas facility to convert cow manure into electricity. Along with producing enough sustainable methane to power itself and other equipment at the second largest dairy in Nevada, the high tech digester will produce liquid fertilizer and mulch.

Carbon Bank Ireland specializes in harvesting certified emissions credits from sustainable energy projects, which can be traded in the European carbon markets. While some pundits claim that cap-and-trade is “socialism on a grand scale” (whatever that is), that doesn’t appear to bother the cows. It also doesn’t appear to bother Nevada, which sees a lot of green in its future.Read Full Article

Electrician Jeff Cutrer had some clients not long ago who asked about installing solar equipment.
“I told them I was looking into it,” said Cutrer, a father of four from Draper and a student in the Salt Lake Community College Green Academy.
Electrician Jeff Cutrer had some clients not long ago who asked about installing solar equipment.
“I told them I was looking into it,” said Cutrer, a father of four from Draper and a student in the Salt Lake Community College Green Academy.
On Saturday, he joined his academy classmates at the presentation of the latest “Idea House,” a foreclosed home that has been updated, fitted with energy-efficient appliances, swathed in extra insulation and topped off with solar panels that can provide 3 kilowatts of clean electricity. With graduation two weeks away for their advanced photovoltaic class, they’re at the front end of a booming industry.Read Full Article

There was no shortage of suggestions when the National Clean Energy Summit convened in Las Vegas last month to contemplate how to build a new clean-energy economy and create millions of so-called green jobs along the way.
There was no shortage of suggestions when the National Clean Energy Summit convened in Las Vegas last month to contemplate how to build a new clean-energy economy and create millions of so-called green jobs along the way. After meeting with energy CEOs, Obama talks job numbers and energy bill.
Among the most popular proposals, despite skepticism in some quarters, was a call to create construction, manufacturing and administrative jobs through a building-retrofit program.Read Full Article

As a Nye County resident, I think the Solar Millennium project is a wonderful thing that will benefit not only Amargosa residents but also the residents of Pahrump. I want Pahrump and the people who live here to have jobs, training and better opportunities.
As a Nye County resident, I think the Solar Millennium project is a wonderful thing that will benefit not only Amargosa residents but also the residents of Pahrump. I want Pahrump and the people who live here to have jobs, training and better opportunities.
Although I will be going away to college this fall, having jobs available when I come back in the summers would not only help me gain work experience, but would also help fund my education. There are many other high school students and recent graduates who need of jobs and would tremendously benefit from the project taking place in Amargosa.
Their families and other residents could take advantage of the many jobs that would become available, helping the community grow, flourish and move in a new and positive direction.Read Full Article
