Chevron Human Energy Renewable Energy Chevron is a collaborative enterprise whose many parts work in concert to deliver vital energy. Acting with a common vision all around the world, our various businesses fulfill our commitment to provide the energy that drives human progress. Source chevron.com *** In a world that demands more energy “Global energy demand is projected to increase by over 50 percent in the next twenty-five years.” The IEA forecast a 53 percent energy demand increase from 2004 to 2030. The 53 percent increase is based on a rise from 225 MMBOE in 2004 to a total of 343 MMBOE/D in 2030. Source: Global Energy Demand; from International Energy Agency, World Energy Outlook, October 2006

This conference on Emerging Energies Technologies takes an unbiased look at how the United States can make the transition from dependency on carbon-based fuels to a sustainable alternative fuels-based future. In this program Nobel laureate Alan Heeger of UCSB and Joan Ogden of UC Davis give their perspectives on renewable energy.

We have 2 Evergreen Solar panels 180 watts each, Tristar 60Amp Controller, 2, 400 watt Air-x wind generators, about 8 marine deep cycle batteries from walmart now. A 250A DC breakerbox from Midnight Solar, Xantrex DR-2412 2400Watt Inverter, and a Reliance transfer switch. So far the system has cost about $6000 with everything overbuilt to be upgradeable with more solar panels as soon as we get some more funding! More videos soon lots has changed since winter has set in.

New wheel design with 8 swinging blades capable of extracting power from either wind or wave forces, it could be submersed either horizontally or vertically in the water or stacked horizontally in vertical tower assembly . Points explaining my enthusiasm toward submersed wheels: + Accommodates with tremendous sea/ocean water area and depths . + Can absorb more power from travelling waves compared with point absorbers . + Simplicity of design and ease of implementation with lowest costs . + Can be arrayed in matrix of thousands units aligned together in rows . + Such arrangement achieves dual goals, one is generating electricity and the other is protecting shore lines from erosion damage caused by embedded wave energy .

If renewable energy is already available, is there also a program for selling (i’m taking small scale) excess energy back to the energy grid in the Philippines?

A device called VIVACE developed at the University of Michigan draws power out of slow water currents to produce clean electricity. It imitates the swim strategy of a school of fish.
