Donald Trump Renews Campaign Against Wind Power With New, Baseless Claim
Realgy’s President, Michael Vrtis has been involved with wind power development since 1982. He was a Project Developer with Kenetech which was the largest wind developer in the US at the time.
To hear the US President make and exaggerate claims that were baseless over 40 years ago is alarming. His statements are based on either his lack of understanding or he seeks to sow seeds of distrust toward an industry and technology that is proven financeable and supported by some of the largest companies and governments in the world.
Wind energy is the fastest growing portion making up the world energy supply.
The US supports wind power development and misrepresentations about the technology will not change the facts.

DOE Catalyzes Clean Energy Innovation in All 50 States
A proposal to cut the budget for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has once again been made. Investments by the DOE have fueled advancements within the technological world including energy efficiency and renewable energy. Funds have led to less expensive and cleaner energy through various projects around the entire country. Many studies show that every dollar invested into research and development for clean energy will have a beneficial return. America’s energy innovation is necessary to continue leading the way towards cost efficient clean energy methods. Many groups are pushing towards a budget increase to maintain U.S. clean energy leadership. Congress will ultimately decide the outcome which leaves us to wonder if they’ll follow suit from the past 2 years.

Your Meter will KNOW what you just plugged in
A home energy management company just bought a company that states it can different what you just plugged into your home based on its energy consumption.
Imagine, you buy a new EV (electric vehicle) and you get a communication asking if you want it only to charge during lower cost off-peak periods? Or your HVAC system starts running more frequently it might send you a suggestion to get an inspection or repair. It could also make sure your pumps and blowers don’t operate simultaneously thereby lowering your energy demand. The smart home is coming and this level of analysis of usage could surely make it actually useful.

Seawater turns into freshwater through solar energy: A new low-cost technology
Many people have been searching for an answer to efficient and low-cost desalination. A new prototype using solar to remove salt from seawater has been developed. The device is “inherently inexpensive and simple to install and repair”. The ideas for using this tool are endless; helping areas suffering from emergency situations or pollution are just some examples of how this device could benefit the world.

So 4 years after the first Polar Vortex…How was the 2019 version?
Last week on January 30th, 2019 Chicago matched a record as the coldest day ever.
Power and gas supplies increased but not as severely as in 2014.
Here is why:
- Businesses and schools closed in anticipation of travel delays. This kept power needs down.
- Generators provided the power expected. This was not the case back in 2014. Changes made to generator contracts provided substantial penalties if power wasn’t delivered. Investments in cold weather operations and many of the power plants certainly prevented power shortages.
- Solar and wind kept operating. This was the first polar vortex with substantial solar and wind resources. They performed very well.
Overall, the markets reacted to past incidents and put into place corrections to continue to improve and safeguard the power grid.
