Navy Oiler Delivers RIMPAC Biofuel Exercise

July 27, 2012 No Comments

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 18, 2012 – Military Sealift Command fleet replenishment oiler USNS Henry J. Kaiser, which is providing logistical support for U.S. Pacific Fleet’s biennial Rim of the Pacific exercise off Hawaii, yesterday delivered 900,000 gallons of a 50-50 blend of advanced biofuels and traditional petroleum-based fuel to the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Nimitz strike group.
The Military Sealift Command says the fuel delivery is part of the Navy’s Great Green Fleet demonstration, which allows the Navy to test, evaluate and demonstrate the cross-platform utility and functionality of advanced biofuels in an operational setting. This will achieve one of the five energy goals established by Navy Secretary Ray Mabus: to demonstrate a Great Green Fleet in local operations by 2012.
The demonstration is an important milestone in the Navy’s testing and certification of 50-50 blends of advanced hydrotreated biofuel and aviation gas. The military’s ability to use fuels other than petroleum reduces vulnerability to rapid and unforeseen changes in the price of oil that can negatively impact readiness, while also increasing energy security.

Energy Grid Corruption: A Looming Crisis Ahead

July 27, 2012 No Comments

Amidst record-high temperatures and a very anti-climactic 4th of July, power outages have left millions without air-conditioning and even water in rural areas where households rely on electric pumps. At least 52 people have died from heat and three million people are still without power.
No it’s not Yemen, where power outages in the capital Sana’a have sparked a new round of protests. It’s the United States of America, where corruption converges with a moribund electricity distribution system to produce increasingly frequent blackouts across the Midwest and East Coast.
A thunderstorm that struck the East Coast early last week left millions without electricity and power companies took days to restore power to about half of their customers. Four days after the storm, power was restored to 67% in the Northern Virginia suburbs and 61% in Baltimore, but Montgomery County, Maryland and parts of Washington, D.C. only managed to restore 43%, leaving over a million without electricity as temperatures soared above 100 degrees.

NYSERDA Expands Multifamily Building Incentive Program. Easier Energy Efficiency Projects

July 27, 2012 No Comments

Redesigned portfolio offers multiple financial incentives and paths for energy efficiency
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is giving owners and developers of multifamily buildings-including condominiums and co-ops-more ways to reduce energy waste and save money. NYSERDA is offering higher incentives for all existing multifamily housing, including significantly increased incentives for affordable housing buildings that burn only natural gas for their primary space heating, and buildings that exceed energy savings expectations. NYSERDA has also added a fast track for multifamily buildings with five to 49 units, which offers a faster, easier process for identifying improvements to the building and payment of the entire incentive upon completion of improvements.
The expanded options are part of the new Multifamily Energy Performance Portfolio (MEPP), which brings together all NYSERDA multifamily programs under one brand to give owners, managers and developers greater ability to enter into energy efficiency at the point where they are most comfortable. Properties that make energy efficiency upgrades can generally realize significant cost savings and offer residents units that are more comfortable, healthy and sustainable.
