Making Sense Of New Energy Paradigm
New York NY (SPX) Feb 10, 2009 Companies and private users, as well as public agencies, can ensure that their future energy needs are met safely and securely by "thinking outside the grid," according to a new book by one of the energy and technology industries' pre-eminent thought leaders, Ronald H. Bowman, Jr., Executive Vice President of Tishman Technologies Corporation. In The Green Guide to Power: Thinking Outside the Grid, a new book that has already earned a #1 ranking in the energy category on Amazon.com, Bowman explores the environmental and ecological impact of our current network of power plants and distribution lines and offers cogent solutions on what all Americans can do to reduce our dependency on an increasingly erratic and inefficient energy creation and distribution system that produces more CO2 emissions than any other sector, including automotive transportation. Bowman paints a bleak landscape in his book of our current situation: as demand for electricity continues to grow faster than the supply, and America's aging national power distribution network becomes less reliable, the potential economic costs of an energy shortage for public- and private-sector users grows larger every day. At the same time, the U.S. government has recently taken a leading role on the energy stage through mandating that all federally-owned buildings dramatically increase their energy efficiency over the next few years. Finally, calculations and predictions on the future impact of global warming on economic health vary widely, often guided more by the agenda of the author than the accuracy of the predication. Bowman urges "Man on the Moon investments", "D-Day coordination" and "Desert Storm" execution to alter our energy path, and he asserts that with proper resolve and planning, America can avoid an inevitable crisis in the utility industry by adopting some of his pragmatic "green solutions." The Green Guide to Power evaluates the total implementation cost and net energy benefit, with or without a "carbon tax," on a litany of new and untested green decentralized energy solutions, with a critical yet impartial eye and a focus on self-help. These solutions include: + Biomass + Geothermal + Solar + Wind + Ocean/Tidal + Biowaste + Hydraulic "Ron's book does a great job explaining the problems, conditions, and possible solutions to our power grid issue," says Eddie Schutter, Senior Technical Director, AT and T Data Center Architecture and Planning.
Dealing With the Exponentially Increasing Power Demands of Data Centers Forrest Norrod, General Manager of Dell Data Center Solutions, calls Bowman's book "a fascinating preview of the impending crisis in the electricity industry and a roadmap to pragmatic green solutions." Peter Gross, PE, Vice President for Hewlett-Packard, says, "Ron Bowman has dissected many complex issues and presented...the essence of the problems we are facing today and potential solutions." He also calls Thinking Outside the Grid, "Great reading for anybody interested in the future of our planet." Related Links Tishman Technologies
Focus On The US Batteries Market
New York NY (SPX) Feb 10, 2009US demand for primary and secondary batteries will increase 2.0 percent annually to $16.4 billion in 2012. Increases will be supported by the rising use of battery-powered products such as digital cameras, portable music players and laptop computers. |
