US Biofuels Gains Greenhouses for Green Fuel Production

July 3rd, 2009 by Alternative Energy Foundation

US Biofuels, Inc, a CA based company is setting to launch major green fuel production with recent gains of twelve greenhouses expanding over eight acres in size. Each greenhouse will be used for the purpose of growing algae in a closed system, using the photobioreactor (PBR) process for the production of Biofuel. US Biofuels looks forward to producing biofuel all year round from these greenhouses and projects to be producing 50 million plus gallons of biodiesel per year when all plants are in full operation causing no threat to food prices or livestock, leaving crop and cultivated land untouched, as most of US Biofuels algae farms are in the deserts of southern CA.

Van Nuys, CA (PRWEB) July 3, 2009 — US Biofuels, Inc a new green company operating out of sunny California is setting to launch major green fuel production with recent gains of twelve greenhouses expanding over eight acres in size located in Sun Valley, CA. Each greenhouse will be constructed and renovated for the purpose of growing algae in a closed system, using the photobioreactor (PBR) process for the production of Biofuel.

In short a PBR is a bioreactor, which includes some kind of light source. Really any clear, translucent container could be called a PBR, but the term is more commonly used to define a closed system, as opposed to an open tank or pond. This system allows more species to be grown at a faster rate, extending the growing season, and if heated it can produce all year round.

World Nuclear Power Generation to Reach 2,966 Billion kWh by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

June 29th, 2009 by Alternative Energy Foundation

GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Nuclear Power market. Although tempered by controversies, and skepticism over sustainability, world nuclear power generation is projected to reach 2,966 billion kWh by the year 2015, encouraged largely by the quest for energy independence, clean electricity and a solution to climate change. Future growth is expected to stem solely from the technology’s proven capability to generate massive baseload power needed to satiate spiraling world energy requirements.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) June 29, 2009 –- Although haunted by nuclear proliferation, the risk of civilian nuclear energy contributing towards nuclear weapons, and the overshadowing threat of nuclear power phase out, world nuclear energy industry continues in good stance, witnessing positive developments across several regions. This energy generation technology has managed to claw its way into political and economic significance by leveraging on its promised potential to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, ensure continuous supply of electricity, and to mitigate the threat of climate change. With over 136 new nuclear power projects either planned or under construction, and another additional 233 new projects being proposed worldwide, the Nuclear Power industry is latching onto hopes of a cautious revival, following the hitherto lull in new constructions, and virtual meltdown of industry since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.

Currently, Europe is witnessing the development of new nuclear power plants in France, Romania and Finland, and the US is focusing on expanding the life of its nuclear reactors. Meanwhile in Russia and Asia, aggressive investments are being earmarked for building new nuclear power capacities. The United States, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, and South Korea, in that order, are the largest consumers of nuclear power.

WSI Calls for Cool Period in Most of Eastern US, Warm West During Remainder of Summer

June 24th, 2009 by Alternative Energy Foundation

Weather Services InternationalWSI and ESAI Say Cooler July Weather Will Engender Lower Loads, Moderate Power Prices for Energy Traders

Andover, MA (PRWEB) June 24, 2009 — WSI expects the upcoming period (July-September) to average cooler than normal across the eastern third of the US, with above-normal temperatures common across the western US. The highest probability for a cooler-than-normal period is in the Southeast, while the Rockies and Pacific Northwest are most likely to experience above-normal temperatures. The WSI seasonal outlooks reference a standard 30-year normal (1971-2000).

“We expect the upcoming transition to warmer temperatures in the western US and cooler temperatures in the Southeast to be the prevailing pattern for the rest of the summer,” said WSI seasonal forecaster Dr. Todd Crawford. “In the Northeast, the cool start will likely be representative of the pattern for the remainder of the summer, although occasional bursts of heat coming from the north-central US will likely impact the area from time to time. Looking farther out in time, the emerging El Nino event will likely play a significant role in determining the upcoming fall and winter pattern, although the magnitude and exact location of the warmest tropical Pacific Ocean temperature anomalies will be the final arbiter.”
