Wind Power in Ontario Generates a New Record

Wind Power in Ontario Generates a New Record in 2009TORONTO, Jan. 8 - Wind generation in Ontario rose by more than 60 percent over the previous year, Ontario's Independent Electricity SystemOperator (IESO) reported today in its analysis of 2009 data.

Wind powert from Ontario's wind farms was 2.3 terawatt hours(TWh) in 2009, equivalent to the consumption of the City of Oshawa for twofull years. At the same time, output from Ontario's coal-fired plantsdropped to 9.8 TWh, down dramatically from 23.2 TWh in 2008, and the lowestoutput in 45 years. "Ontario's supply mix is evolving," said Paul Murphy, President and CEO ofthe IESO. "We are making considerable progress in our efforts to integrateenergy from cleaner fuel sources."

Continued reports such as this illustrate the role Wind Energy is playing within Ontario.

Google Goes Green

Google has gone Green

I read on so many websites about Google and Adsense, many of these sites and Blogs have negative things to say. I must humbly admit that I am a supporter.

Google has created a Search Engine and a profitable business that exists by a certain set of rules. These rules are in fact created by Google. If you have a website and want to see it show up on the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS) Google has a method for either finding or site or ruling you out as SPAM etc. You must play the game by their rules.

If you dont like these rules, don't play the game. Yahoo and MSN are just a click away. Okay enough defending Google for this post. Check out their latest announcement on Google Going Green.

Google Designing Lean Green Energy-Saving Machines

For the Blog readers that know me, this page may not fit with the general feel of my site. I will let you in a secret- it's not. I am trying something new to get noticed by none other than...Google :)

I could simply send my site to all my Blogging friends but what fun is that? I wish to see how long it takes for this page to get indexed by the Google Bots. For those not familiar with them, they are the little computer programs that scour web pages to decide what it is about and where it will result in the SERPs. So I'm sorry to those who find this post out of place- but odds are that it will be the first post Google will find in my Green Energy Blog.

Got Google?

181 Mega Watt Wind Farm opens in Ontario

On Friday the Enbridge Ontario Wind Project was oficially opened. Several Politicians and executives attended the event.

The 115 Vestas V-82 turbines can produce enough power to supply fifty to sixty thousand homes with emissions-free green energy.

Also in attendance were a group of approximately 50 protestors. As guests arrived at the event the were greeted with "boos" and angry chants from the roadside protestors.

Although there will always be objections to any new green energy technologies, perhaps someone should inform these people that the time for investigating alternative means of energy production was 20 years ago. If we are to have a chance at slowing down the rate of climate change; the time for action is now.

Green Energy and Climate Change- First Post

Layoffs, Debt, Cutbacks, Plant Closures... These seem the be the only items tabled on each news broadcast in recent months. As jobs continue to disappear across North America one must wonder what the future will bring.

Although the economical side of things may seem bleak, the advancements in technology continue to abound. Green energy, communications, the internet in general; these things areas seem to snaowball daily to new and amazing levels.

As these fields continue to soar to new heights of complexity the door is forced to open wider for people to gain and profit from them. Particularly the field of Green Energy. This is my field of expertise and will likely be a re-occurring topic in this blog. Despite the obvious environmental benefits, the economical benefits will be far greater.

Got ambition?
