A personal quest to promote the use of wind energy and hydrogen technology in the Great Lakes area of the United States. The Great Lakes area is in a unique position to become an energy exporting region through these and other renewable energy technologies. *Update 2014: Just do it everywhere - Dan*

New Solar-Electric-Thermal Hybrid Process Could Push Atmospheric CO2 Levels To Pre-Industrial In A Decade
http://gl-zephyr.blogspot.com - Great Lakes Wind Energy, Hydrogen, and Alt-power News
Scientists from George Washington University and Howard University, both in Washington, DC, have advocated a process with the acronym STEP. It would scrub CO2 from the air and turn it into synthetic fuel such as jet fuel or diesel fuel using a 34-50% efficient combination of solar-electric and solar-thermal power.

Sadly ironic in Batavia's case. In the 1800's, they had three windmill manufaturers there.

For your energy blog if you have not added it already. A recent story in the DH. And here is Paul Sjordal's assessment on the topic preceding the link to the article.
Clean coal dream a costly nightmare: Five Chicago suburbs and dozens of other Midwest towns in power-plant deal now face the prospect of rising electricity bills "As the Prairie State Energy Campus rises out of a Downstate field, its price tag already has more than doubled to $4.4 billion — costs that will largely be borne by municipalities including the suburbs of Naperville, Batavia, Geneva, St. Charles and Winnetka. The communities are locked into 28-year contracts that will require higher electricity rates to cover the construction overruns, documents and interviews show. Municipal officials told the Tribune they expect costs to soar even higher before the plant begins operating next year. … Each year, it will churn more than 13 million tons of heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere, an amount equivalent to adding 2 million cars to the nation's highways. Most U.S. power plants emitting that much climate-change pollution date to the 1960s and '70s. The pollution also could make the plant more expensive to operate. Climate and energy legislation pending in Congress would slap a price on greenhouse-gas emissions, requiring Prairie State's owners to spend hundreds of millions more a year. Local officials didn't account for those costs when buying into the plant."

You are into music more than me so maybe you can confirm this. The above story reminds of the musical/movie (Music Man?) where a "snake oil salesman" of a guy convinces a town to invest all their money into a band. The same has happened here with the above towns and taxpayers having to pay Millions more of their tax dollars because they believed in the fallacy of "clean coal."
#2 Siobhan has some info on an upcoming meeting on the smart grid that should be of interest for your blog on energy.

On A Positive Note, Intel Corp. Is Using One Of My Wind Power Poems...
...In an advertisement promoting the use of Wind energy in Oregon State. (http://gl-zephyr.blogspot.com)
Here's the pertinent e-mail:
"From: MacKenzie, Bill

Subject: use of your poem
Dan,
Thanks again for giving Intel permission to use your poem, “The Magic of a Breeze”, in another ad promoting wind power. Intel is the largest purchaser of wind power in Oregon and we want to encourage others to follow our example.
Would you be kind enough to reply to this e-mail just giving us written permission to use your poem so I have a record of our conversation? I will certainly make sure to send you a copy of the ad when it is completed, which should be in a couple weeks.
By the way, I think I sent you a copy of the last ad we did with your poem, but attached is another copy in case I didn’t.
Regards,
Bill

BP Dumping Sand To Cover Up Beach Oil?
The Huffington Post has a story out implicating BP in covering up oil with dumped sand rather than doing a full cleanup. The story on Huffpo can be found here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/allison-kilkenny/allegations-emerge-bp-is_b_632954.html
Below is the Youtube video related to the story. I don't know enough to tell who's been doing what, but the whole mess is disgusting if you ask me.
