“It is cheaper to save energy than make energy”
Are you paying your fair share of Gas, Electric, Phone, Water and Sewer bills? Chances are you are not. Recent studies have shown that a high percentage of companies and property owners are being over-charged on their utility bills.
TRUE OR FALSE
___ Utility firms automatically give their customers the lowest rate obtainable.
___ State Public Service Commission establishes utility rates.
____ The Federal Power Commission exercises direct authority over utility rates.
____ Telephone companies only charge for completed (connected calls).
____ You can’t recover money overpaid on telephone and utility bills (gas, electric, water) in past years.
____ You must buy your gas and electricity from the local gas company. Can you increase energy efficiency?
IF YOU CHECKED “TRUE” to any of these statements, you could be throwing money away each month when you pay your telephone and utility bills.
A survey by Consumer’s Checkbook, a non-profit consumer group, showed that 7 out of 8 major long-distance phone companies were overcharging their customers.
Also companies that qualify for tax and rate concessions designed to attract new industry, many are not receiving any or all of these reductions on their utility bills.
The following outlines the services that we can offer you.
1. Energy Savers specializes in helping clients recover refunds or credits found on utility and telephone bills. We also help utilize better tariffs; there are yearly changes in tariffs which affect the consumer, utility taxes are modified.

We should discourage wastefulness and misuse, and promote efficiency and conservation.
We can help you conserve water and reduce your costs.

Energy sources and conservation
Our energy sources should not be limited to PV/Solar.
It should be a combination of PV/Wind and many instances Geothermal.
There are also Tidal and Wave Energy, Thermal, Fuel cell, etc.
You could also use renewable energy to convert water into hydrogen which would give you fuel to power generators and cars. We should utilize renewable energy for desalinization and transport the water to its ultimate destination.
People have to realize that in order for this approach to be successful.
We need everyone on board to work together for this common goal.
The Government, Corporate America and the people of the United States must make a commitment to this cause and pursue it relentlessly.
Above all that people have to concentrate on energy efficiency.
“It is cheaper to save energy than make energy”
Many people have to monitor their habits and be conscience of their daily habits in the use of energy and utilities. In changing your daily habits peoples can cut their energy costs between 30-60%, without any physical modification. Tests have proven for this to be correct. Imagine how much more you can conserve and save if you made some minor physical modifications.
There are many programs available to anyone which helps achieve these goals.
It is educating the public to conserve and not waste that will make the difference.
As a nation United States consumes more resources than any other country in the world.
Today’s economic crisis should serve as an impetus to implement a mission of conserving resources for all of the people in the United States. Conserve resources for our sake and the sake of future generations.
Developing Renewable Energy sources should be the “Manhattan project of the 21st century”

LONDON -- Despite cuts to solar subsidies over the past few years, a new report from Lux Research finds that solar installations have continued to rise – driven primarily by increased demand from a single market: Germany.
ReplyDeleteHowever, as manufacturers approach near-term limits on cost reductions, German demand will begin to decline, the report says. As the German market shrinks and debt-ridden European governments limit subsidies, the industry desperately needs to locate new markets to forestall a shakeout.
As a result, demand will shift to Asia and North America and the solar market will grow in terms of MW installed, but revenues will stay flat as price declines outpace volume growth, the analysis concludes.
The report, Market Size Update 2011: Putting the Rest of World on the Map of Global Solar Demand — from Lux Solar Systems Intelligence and Lux Solar Components Intelligence — predicts that solar demand will shift to a broader range of markets over the next five years, with Japan, China and India emerging. Meanwhile, the US will become a key player given government support of tax equity through 2016 and a number of state-level programmes, Lux says.
"The global solar market for grid-connected systems will grow from 15.8 GW in 2010 to 37.5 GW in 2016, a compound annual growth rate of 15.5 percent," said analyst Matt Feinstein. "However, price declines will outpace volume increases, at least at first — the industry will actually shrink on a revenue basis from US$64.4 billion in 2010 to $56.9 billion in 2012 before recovering to $65.4 billion in 2016."
Leading internal rate of return (IRR) markets such as New Jersey, Australia and Greece are attracting attention in 2011. With subsidies, a surprising number of markets have IRRs worthy of investment. According to the analysis, the most attractive markets for commercial solar installations are New Jersey (42 percent), Portugal (37 percent) and Hawaii (34 percent).
In terms of utility-scale ground-mounted installations, it is Portugal (with an IRR of 81 percent) which tops the analyst’s list, followed rather distantly by New Jersey (58 percent) and Cyprus (44 percent). However, by 2016, viable investment targets will increase dramatically to encompass 45 residential markets, a whopping 88 commercial markets, and 85 utility markets.
Subsidies and grid parity aren’t necessary to generate positive demand, Lux finds in this analysis, arguing that an anticipated future increase in the cost of retail and wholesale power is all that’s necessary to generate this demand — even in countries without subsidies and similar policies in place.
Brazil, for example, is projected to reach a 12 percent unlevered, unsubsidised IRR for commercial multi-crystalline-silicon systems at the end of 2016 — even though solar will not yet have reached grid parity. Indeed, of 55 geographies demonstrating unsubsidised IRRs above 10 percent at the end of 2016, only 10 will have reached grid parity, Lux believes.
Commercial rooftop PV is expected to become directly competitive with conventional electricity soonest, with 10 geographies at that point by 2016.
The number of commercial rooftop markets reaching parity will grow from one in 2010 to 10 in 2016, including the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Hawaii will be the first to accomplish residential grid parity in 2011, but by 2016 it will be joined by Italy, Denmark and Ukraine, forecasts the report. For utility-scale ground-mount installations, the number remains small.
Crystalline silicon solar cells will maintain their overall dominance, says Lux, but other forms of PV will grow at a faster rate.
Green Globe Partners to Deliver City of Los Angeles Green Business Certification Program
ReplyDeleteGreen Globe International, Inc., the worldwide owner of the Green Globe brand, has announced its participation in an initiative that will allow businesses in Los Angeles to earn a seal of approval through the city’s new green business certification program.
The City of Los Angeles initiative, to be administered by the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD), will provide information on which local businesses are green and how businesses can adopt sustainable practices. One of the aims is to enable consumers to support firms that strive to protect the environment.
