Watch these metrics. The Planet touts new water-cooled chiller from Turbine Air.

I'm always looking for examples of things that businesses are doing to make their data centers more energy-efficient. This one comes from The Planet, an IT hosting company from Texas. When it built out a new 106,000-square-foot data center in Plano its eighth, The Planet opted for...

Rural energy grant deadline approaches: Aids renewable energy technology investments

I'm not sure how many farmers and ranchers read these posts, but certainly I can claim some rural business owners among my readers. So, if you are in a rural area of the United States AND you are a small business with fewer than 15 employees, you have until July...

How smart is your wind turbine? Intel is on the case.

Most of the time, when someone says the word "embedded system" to me, I think about a traffic light or some piece of specialized manufacturing equipment or medical technology. Turns out, though, that Intel has an interest in seeing the wind turbine market accelerate as it were. So, sometime in...

My weekend wildlife sighting: Wind turbines in action

Never realized just how BIG, other-worldly and quiet wind turbines really are until I suddenly found myself on a wind farm up near Turin, N.Y., over the past weekend. I took these photos of the Maple Ridge Wind Farm while I was snowmobiling (in three-feet of snow...

Bats and belfries may be synonymous. But what about bats and wind turbines? Not so much.

My husband's favorite holiday, Halloween, is approaching, so this item caught my attention: As part of the Casselman Wind Power Project in Pennsylvania, the Bats and Wind Energy Cooperative (yes, there is such an organization) is testing the impact of wind turbines on local bat colonies. Here's some insight on...

Services capability. Check. Financing arm. Check.

National Wind, the wind development company focused on encouraging local investment and ownership for its wind projects, has completed its purchase of investment banker Delphi Financial. Given how quickly National Wind is signing new projects, the company figured it made sense to acquire its own renewable energy...

The little wind turbines that could

I have to admit, I’m more used to reading about U.S. tech firms expanding abroad rather than the reverse. But in the case of certain green tech innovations, I suppose it makes sense to flip this idea on its head. Just heard about the example of Proven...

Another step forward for solar up-start Ausra

It's gratifying when companies actually follow up on statements of purpose. I'm pleased to report that such is the case with Australian solar power darling Ausra and U.S. utility company Pacific Gas & Electric, which separately committed to solar development projects back during the flurry of green PR associated with...

"Sunny day, chasing those clouds away." (Or Ausra teams up with utilities for solar thermal development)

Another amazingly sunny, potentially thunder-y afternoon out here in Jersey. Which is probably why I noticed this particular set of energy news out of the Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York this week… Three companies -- FPL Group (the parent company of Florida Power & Light,...

Green-tech design tool helps clean-tech designer

It wouldn’t be very green of a clean-tech company to waste lots of materials while designing and developing and testing its product, would it? Autodesk sure doesn’t think so. The well-established CAD software company continues to reposition some of its core 3-D products as great tools for...

Big week for utility-driven solar tech investment

Who would have thunk that the erst-while Garden State could be such a big player in solar energy? The way the wind has been blowing literally for the past two days, it's pretty clear that wind resources are big. But the sun is far less reliable here in New Jersey....

Something in the air: Several random wind energy updates

It's been so still here in northern New Jersey for the past week that I can't imagine using the technology that I'm going to mention in this post. And yet the wind has been known to bend the trees in my yard, like kelp responding to a tidal surge. So,...

SCE adds to its solar energy portfolio in deal with eSolar

Everything around me is wilting today, including me. Therefore it seems apt for me to search around for something solar-related to write about. Found this quick update from Southern California Edison, which bills itself as the leading purchaser not provider of solar energy, buying about 90 percent...

Generation Green: The truth about age and green-tech adoption may shock you

I KNOW what they say about assuming things. But, yes, I've been walking around under the impression that green tech adoption was probably higher among 30-somethings or 40-somethings like me. No particular reason for this. I just was using my both my own parents and in-laws as benchmarks because, frankly,...

Are you willing to pay more for a green tech supplier?

How much does a particular supplier’s green profile affect your decision to sign on the dotted line? I will answer this question personally and say that up until now, not much. I couldn’t tell you, for example, where it’s really best to buy your gasoline. (Because,...
