Solar Energy Fort Irwin Solar Power Plant
Aug.03, 2009 in Solar Energy
In October 2008 it was announced that a solar power plant was planned at the Fort Irwin base in the Mojave Desert in California. This installation is to have a capacity of 500MW, originally generated from thermal solar power.
Further news has just been released regarding the project and a couple of development partners have been announced for the project, namely Clark Energy Group and Acciona Solar Power. Details about the source of the solar power has also been revised with the revelation that it won’t be coming from a single solar power plant but instead, a series of projects will be created spread over 14,000 acres of desert land.

We are moving forward, all be it slowly, but we are moving forward, Thank God!
And it is not just in solar but in wind and so much more. If we can just get congress to let us drill more, build more refineries, do the oil shale, develop more clean coal, and construct at least 10 new nuclear faculties within 3 years in or near major need areas, it will help, but we must get these renewables up and running, and Hydrogen cell cars affordable. and so much more.

Can You Dream Of A Better Energy Tomorrow

New Governments program "Cash for clunkers" is working to well in some ways, and not as well enough in others.

While they may be getting some of the high MPH cars off of the road, they are not getting a lot of the older worst polluters of the road, due to the cost of a new can even with the $4800 Government discount, there a lot without adequate credit or enough income, to trade in the older worse vehicles on the road. I would swap my old clunker for a number of the ones I have seen being traded in, to be destroyed.

But it has worked well enough that the Government clunker for cash web site has been so flooded the dealers can not get the deals through, and they have run out of funds, only to have to appropriate 2 billion more.

Looking forward it is hard to remember that your objective is to drain the streets of clunkers when you are up to your posterior in liberal agendas to destroy the country! First destroy our monetary system with incalculable debt, mess up the not perfect but best medical system in the world. Use the Cap and Trade to place an energy tax on every man, woman, child and business in America. Refuse to stop the bleeding of America's funds to foreign oil mongers who Obama the great one bowed down to. And refuse to allow us to develop the tremendous oil reserves we have here, or build new refineries, or develop better clean coal, or use safe nuclear power.

They continue to want to do many other things to bring us down by tearing down the family unit, claim that we are not a Christian nation, take God out of our public life and then wonder why things are going to heck in a hand basket.

The best answer is always is it is not my fault, look what they did before me. They kept us safe, they did not call for bringing down our armies and arsenals to a weaker standpoint so we cannot defend ourselves like Obama is calling for.

We must take every step possible to get energy independent now, ASAP. Time and money is running out. There are to many ways for renewable energy, to available sources that we have been unable to develope because of screaming liberal environmentalist. In the northwest right now they are letting while Forrest get diseased and die, because they have put the people who know how to care for the forest out of business, and with it whole towns and populations have died with it.

We better see the future in light of today. People and their livelihoods, and expertise are more important than the ideology of a few liberals who now have their satisfaction of stopping industries, only to seeing America die slow death for lack of jobs, and energy, and money, and a satisfaction of knowing a goods pay for a good days work.

Rant over for now.
