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:

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

The Heartbreaker - The Ruin Created By Oil And The Promise It Holds Back

From the dying Gulf of Mexico to the deaths enroute to Palestine, continued subservience to oil is a deadly abomination we can no longer afford.

The only real reason for the USA to even consider a continued alliance with the brutal nation of Israel is to maintain a military alliance in the Middle East and access to oil.

The only reason to risk deepwater drilling in any ocean whatsoever is for oil.

Trains, planes, plastics, and automobiles, as they currently exist, are killing people and entire ecosystems around the planet.

At the same time, money spent subsidizing this agent of global death, from military expenditures to 'foreign aid,' to direct subsidies, robs from the financial resources that could otherwise be creating the sustainable, healthy technologies that should have replaced petroleum by now.

Over a trillion dollars spent on on Iraq and Afghanistan. Several trillion dollars of extra military spending supporting hundreds of bases all over the planet. Who knows how much in payments to foreign governments and officials.

If oil really is derived from ancient dead plants and animals, the results of desecrating the graves of all that ancient death is more death now and in the future.

The vast majority of our problems globally are a result of our collective failure to advance beyond these primitive technologies.

We can still have cars. We can still have air travel. We can still have trains. Ships were successful before oil. They can be even more so if we incorporate flexible solar cells into sailcloth.

The updating of transportation technologies to move them to clean energy sources would create millions of sustainable jobs.

There has never been more in-your-face evidence of the need for transformation of this basic part of the global infrastructure.

By Fall, we will have millions of voters in coastal areas who will have great reason to align with this purpose.

The atmosphere and the oceans are screaming for change. We need to be ready to push as the rock is tipping.
