IEA - World Energy Outlook
An international deal to combat climate change is meant to be agreed in December but a meeting in Bonn, Germany, last week ended with little progress toward an agreement to keep average temperature rises within 2C. In addition, the WEO-2015 will be informed by in-depth analysis on several topical issues: - Special Report on Energy and Climate: Given the crucial importance of COP21, this report will provide decision-makers with analysis of national climate pledges in the context of the recent downturn in fossil-fuel prices, suggest pragmatic policy measures to advance climate goals without blunting economic growth and assess adaptation needs, including in the power sectors of China and India (released 15 June)
NREL: Learning - Wind Energy Basics
Wind turbines can be used as stand-alone applications, or they can be connected to a utility power grid or even combined with a photovoltaic (solar cell) system
POLITICO Morning Energy - POLITICO
From governors to farmers, from senators to factory workers, from entrepreneurs to the over 200,000 men and women who signed our Fuels America petition, the message is clear. After the taping, Obama will make a speech and take questions at a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee event at a private residence elsewhere in Manhattan
The Energy Story - Chapter 2: What Is Electricity?
The Latin word, electricus, means to "produce from amber by friction." So, we get our English word electricity from Greek and Latin words that were about amber. But what is electricity? Where does it come from? How does it work? Before we understand all that, we need to know a little bit about atoms and their structure
Daylight Saving Time - Saving Time, Saving Energy
Initial analysis by staff of the California Energy Commission says a similar study may not yield the same results for California because: The use of residential air conditioning is relatively low in Indiana, and the saturations are low. Because people get home from work and school and complete more errands and chores in daylight, Daylight Saving Time also seems to reduce people's exposure to various crimes, which are more common in darkness than in light
Solar Energy - Science - The New York Times
8, 2014 SolarCity will offer customers in eight states loans to buy home solar systems, with monthly payments based on how much electricity the systems produce. 19, 2015 Dispute between Hawaiian Electric Company and homeowners who wish to install solar panel rooftop system illustrates way electric utilities are struggling with growing popularity of making electricity at home; home systems put new pressures on circuits and power lines and also cut into electric company revenue, which has prompted companies to stem rise of solar in variety of ways
Electricity -- the flow of electrical power -- is a secondary energy source, generated by the conversion of primary sources of energy, like fossil, nuclear, wind or solar. Subtopics Smart Grid Storage How Much Do You Use? Compare your energy usage at home, at work and on the road to others in this state-by-state map of energy consumption, based on 2009 data
The Energy Story - Chapter 7: Electricity Transmission System
From these substations (like in the photo to the right), electricity in different power levels is used to run factories, streetcars and mass transit, light street lights and stop lights, and is sent to your neighborhood. The voltage is eventually reduced to 220 volts for larger appliances, like stoves and clothes dryers, and 110 volts for lights, TVs and other smaller appliances
