		<description><![CDATA[by David Niebauer In the tradition of starting off the New Year with a resolution, I have decided to go large this year.  I predict that 2012 will be the year that low energy nuclear reaction technology (LENR), also known as “cold fusion,” breaks out of the lab and into the commercial market.

		<description><![CDATA[by David Niebauer A recent decision by the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) has reinvigorated and expanded the Self-Generation Incentive Program (“SGIP”) by greatly expanding the technologies that are eligible for the program and creating up-front rebates plus performance-based incentives for developers and manufacturers working to install these technologies. The impetus for the new expanded [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The problem with REMs and why they are so “rare” is that mining and refining for them is incredibly damaging to the environment.  Extraction requires a huge amount of ore (making it highly energy-consuming) and toxic acids that eat into the soil and persist for decades.   To make matters worse, REMs are often found with even heavier elements, such as uranium, making the mine tailings radioactive.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obviously, “cost causer pays” is not going to get the job done.  We need a national energy policy with a strong transmission and distribution grid upgrade component.  The task is complicated by overlapping and sometimes competing federal and state objectives, but failing to act is simply not an option.  Both financial and policy incentives must be made clear for stakeholders so that the greenpower superhighway that many envision can become a reality.]]></description>

The idea is bizarre on first blush and even today non-software oriented business people profess not to understand how it works – or how it could work. These are only a couple of ideas that emerge when thinking about open source cleantech. ]]></description>

Developments in Power Flow Control - hardware wedded to power electronics - promise to increase the capacity of the existing electric transmission grid, thereby allowing the system to operate more efficiently for lower infrastructure costs.  Controlling the flow of electrons in order to improve the existing system can and is being done.   As the Smart Grid is built out, watch for companies that design and build the hardware that all the software is being designed to control.]]></description>
