What about the oil sands? Harper’s goal of 90% emission-free electricity by 2020 not so ambitious Prime Minister Stephen Harper, recently re-elected, gave his Throne Speech today and reiterated the Conservative party’s campaign promise of having 90 per cent of Canada’s electricity come from “non-emitting” sources by 2020. The media have characterized this as “ambitious,” and while it seems so on the surface, it’s not so challenging when you look at [...]

Obama talks, I smile For those who thought he would back down after being elected… think again. a2a_linkname="Obama talks, I smile"; a2a_linkurl="http://www.cleanbreak.ca/2008/11/18/obama-talks-i-smile/";

VRB Power terminates most of staff, calls outlook grim VRB Power’s vanadium flow-battery technology might have held potential as a utility-scale energy storage system, but in the end the Vancouver-based company has failed to execute and is on the road to insolvency. The company released a press release this afternoon announcing that it has been unsuccessful in seeking a merger, sale or some kind [...]

Zero-interest loans to help Toronto MASH sectors get efficient The City of Toronto has launched two funds that will make it easier for schools, churches, hospitals and other not-for-profit sectors to reduce their carbon footprint. The $42 million Toronto Energy Conservation Fund and the $20 million Toronto Green Energy Fund, created as part of the city’s climate action plan, make available zero-interest loans for projects [...]

Why the future of wind power looks better and better My Clean Break column today takes a look at a few startups that are trying to make wind farms more reliable and productive. Most of the companies I’ve mentioned in the past — Whalepower (blade design that mimics humpback whale flippers); Premium Power (utility-scale zinc-bromide battery storage cheap enough to couple with wind turbines/farms); and [...]

Talk of bursting cleantech bubble getting tired The mainstream business press, always eager to say “We told you so” and “history will repeat itself,” appears quite eager to announce the demise of cleantech and all the associated buzz it carries. The bubble is bursting, they say. The return to cheap oil will kill the green movement, they declare. They point to some weakling companies in the cleantech sector [...]

Morgan Solar shows tremendous promise I have a feature today in the Toronto Star about local solar power innovator Morgan Solar, which has developed an approach to concentrating photovoltaics that keeps manufacturing costs low and efficiency high. The design, based on a proprietary optic developed by company founder Jean Paul Morgan, could prove to be a big breakthrough in the [...]

Green jet fuel making headway, closer than thought Those who read this blog know from past posts that I support development of biofuels as one of many climate-change solutions, but strictly conditional on how it’s made and how it’s used. Cellulosic ethanol can play an important role when we move to plug-in hybrids that still require gasoline, though to a much smaller extent. And, [...]

Giving wind turbines a “spider sense”Okay, the “spider sense” part is a bit of a stretch, but being a Spider Man fan I had to throw it in. Actually, what I’m talking about is a new type of LIDAR (Light Detecting and Ranging) device that’s designed to integrate into the nacelle of a wind turbine. The laser system, developed by [...]

Canada’s Conservative government wants to talk continental cap-and-trade with Obama administration Taken alone, I should be happy that my federal government wants to begin serious talks with the United States about establishing a continental cap-and-trade system for carbon emissions. Fact is, I was expecting this kind of knee-jerk reaction from my government as soon as Barack Obama got elected to the White House. It’s why, as [...]
