Mark Frauenfelder: Well, probably not. But this is an interesting idea: using a kite "laddermill" (as opposed to a rigid, ground-based windmill) to harness the high-speed wind blowing at 30,000 feet and convert it to electricity. Link (Via Mirabilis)

Navy's SA-60 High-Altitude Blimp

Navy's SA-60 High-Altitude Blimp 07/06/2004 11:39 AM

Now I'm not saying the Navy's new spherical test blimps look like giant, fake space breasts -- just because there's a circle within a circle and a little nipple-looking bit doesn't mean I'd be that crass -- but it does look an awful lot like a peering eye, which I guess would be more in theme, considering the Navy intends to use the new SA-60 blimps as mobile observation posts. And there's even a good reason for the ball-like shape -- the SA-60 can approach altitudes of up to 22,000 feet, almost four times as high as traditional cigar-shaped airships can fly. While the current version is piloted, future iterations will be unmanned to allow for flights of up to two days straight.

Energy Dreams and Energy Realities

Energy Dreams and Energy Realities 06/19/2004 03:13 PM
Interesting dissection of US energy/environmental politics and policy along conservative/liberal lines: "We are, it seems, always in some kind of energy crisis, real or imagined. Some worry that our major sources of energy are about to run out. Some despair that our energy-hungry civilization is destroying the natural world. Some believe our quest for energy is driving us into unnecessary wars and unsavory alliances. And some lament that excessive regulations on energy development are crippling the American way of life. When it comes to energy politics, there is no shortage of alarmism, conservative and liberal alike." The conclusion was sorta weak tho, I thought :D [via J. Orlin Grabbe - NSFW!]

Here's a great example of how to use a graphic to convey a ton of information. It shows all the sources and uses of energy consumed by the US, and how much of it is lost, in a single picture. It's from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and it's slide 31 of 50 in this PowerPoint deck by Marty Sereno of UCSD on Peak Oil. The whole deck is worth a read.

http ://eetd.lbl.gov/EnergyCrossroads/EnergyCrossroads.html

As temperatures rise this summer and people turn on their air conditioners, the stakeholders in the electricity supply system worry about system overload. To help prevent overload, people can use less by conserving energy or find more efficient ways to use the energy they do. As researchers develop new technologies, and industry tries to promote those technologies, policy advocates look at long-term projections. This Topic in Depth explores the energy crisis and reviews some of the current technologies and energy-saving resources.

This first site from the U.S. Department of Energy (1) offers an overview of some of the key issues surrounding current discussions of energy: "reducing America's dependence on foreign oil and developing energy efficient technologies for buildings, homes, transportation, power systems and industry." Given that any technology developed to make our energy-using appliances more efficient requires consumers' purchase and use of these new technologies, it makes sense that some industry stakeholders, such as Pacific Gas and Electric (2) describes the smart energy technology being developed by researchers at UC Berkeley's Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITIRS) that will monitor household energy usage so people know what energy they are using. Meanwhile, other researchers continue to pursue renewable energy technologies, such as those highlighted on this website from the Center for Renewable Energy and Sustainable Technology (4). This website (5) describes an initiative by EPRI to collaborate with various stakeholders to develop an Electricity Technology Roadmap for the next 25 years. This website from the Smithsonian (6) describes a project "to document the story of electrical power restructuring in North America as it unfolds over the coming years," offering electricity basics, a history of energy science and usage, an overview of deregulation, and an image gallery. Finally, this website from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (7) serves as an all-around resource on research, policy and other resources.
