Solar Tower – EnviroMission reduces green house CO2 emission
EnviroMission, Ltd. (www.enviromission.com.au; US Stock Market: EVOMY, Australian Stock Exchange: EVM) is a renewable energy developer of sustainable “green” energy solutions for the energy market. EnviroMission aims to be one of Australia’s leading producers of clean renewable energy. EnviroMission holds the proprietary rights to Solar Tower technology, a large-scale renewable energy technology based on simple fundamentals of physics — hot air rises. Solar Tower technology has the potential to offer competitive renewable energy with equal reliability to fossil fuel generators. A single 200MW Solar Tower power station will provide enough electricity to power around 400000 households. The energy output will represent an annual saving of more than 1960000 tonnes of greenhouse CO2 gases from entering the environment when compared to brown coal emissions in Victoria. The greenhouse savings equate to the removal of approximately 500000 cars from the road. The Australian Solar Tower project consists of six distinct phases, the first two of which (project optimization and pre-feasibility commercialization) have already been completed. The third phase (final feasibility), paving the way for the implementation of the next three phases (final design, construction, and commercial operation).

Rugby, North Dakota Wind Power Project
Located in Pierce County, North Dakota, the Rugby Wind Power Project’s 71 wind turbines generate 149 megawatts (MW) of clean, renewable energy. Missouri River Energy Services (MRES), based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, purchases 40 MW of output from the Rugby project, enough electricity to power almost 11000 MRES homes in 60 member communities in the states of Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. The Rugby Wind Power Project supports the local economy by contributing substantial revenue to the community through payments to Pierce County and to landowners, and by the economic boost provided during construction. At the peak of Rugby’s construction, the project employed more than 250 construction workers.

Renewed Energy Song
Here is a song I created to help my 6th grade students study. I hope you enjoy. So what we use fuels It’s what people need We’re just having fun We don’t care who sees But these fuels will go out Supplies are limited Need to use renewed energy Uh, uh, uh Oil, gas, and coal are used up Forming from plants remains of animals Built up in rock in layers Keep it trapped below We dig down for it Chemical energy released you burn on it People use fuels for cooking, electricity, lighting, cars, and heating And use them up but they’re limited Supplies down demand so great we all need to find a better way Yeah, uh you know what? Need fuels to use again Sun is on my face Solar panels in place Catching solar rays Biogas from rotting waste Geothermal heat energy, volcanic areas blowing all day Wind turbines turning away Water is safe flowing away Hydroelectric power station Renewable sources only used about 5% So what we use fuels It’s what people need We’re just having fun We don’t care who sees But these fuels will go out Supplies are limited Need to use renewed energy Reservoir’s flowin’ there Hydroelectric power plant Spinning turbine activates generators A large dam Ocean’s everywhere we going thermal energy Mechanical is up when tides and waves come And then there’s hydrogen One proton one electron Simple but no gas around Always combination From the ground up organic hydrocarbons Separated reforming no pollution Fuel cells combining the two gasses really Hydrogen and oxygen …

A Brief History of Waste Management: Waste to Energy
www.wm.com This is a portion of a documentary on the history of garbage, developments in waste management programs, and the importance of recycling and waste management in protecting the environment. This portion explains the process behind Waste Management’s Wheelabrator waste-to-energy facilities. The average person generates about 4.5 pounds of waste per day. The good news is that we can reuse it to generate clean, renewable power. But this isn’t news to us. Since the 1970s, our trailblazing Waste-to-Energy facilities have transformed over 145 million tons of municipal solid waste into 75 billion kilowatt-hours of energy. That’s enough to power 650000 homes every day. In addition, this form of energy production has been recognized by the EPA as creating “less environmental impact than almost any other source of energy.” To learn more information about Waste Management visit www.wm.com or thinkgreen.com
