US Marines using solar thermal power at Camp Lejeune

The Marines are embracing solar thermal power at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. Their entire base housing complex will have solar panels for hot water installed. Since there are about 900 houses on the compound at Camp Lejeune, this will make the base one of the largest residential producers of solar thermal Related posts: Google continuing alternative energy push by developing prototype mirror for solar thermal power New Jersey adding 80 megawatts of solar power, one pole at a time Bucks County, PA to be new home for largest east coast solar power facility

FloDesign’s wind turbine is more efficient, company gets funds to expand in Massachusetts

FloDesign’s unique wind turbine design borrows from jet engine technology to produce more energy from less wind speed. Their turbine uses shorter blades that are contained in a shroud that funnels fast and slow air into the turbine, and the mix of different air speeds creates a vortex that’s used to turn the blades.

New Jersey adding 80 megawatts of solar power, one pole at a time

New Jersey is making a bid to become the second most solar powered state in the US, and they’re doing it a little differently than most. PSE&G is spending $515 million to generate 80 megawatts of solar power, and about half of it will be generated from small solar panels on about 200,000 of the
