Federally Funded Renewable Power Front

If the so called supply side capitalist aren't going to practice their own economic investment plan the architects of forced into play, been some thirty years of not especially the past decade plus and ongoing now, then the only way to invest in actual growth, small businesses, new innovation growth, creating jobs, innovative workers and business minds, much more towards economic growth, are the people, government, themselves investing in for the now and the future. We're allowing the obstruction of now, and for far to long once again, related to alternative and clean energy growth industry as we have for the past some forty years. This carried over into the many other national industrial needs that others once envied us for, they now have most of those abilities and experienced innovative workers, and are growing as we once did and they wanted for their countries!

Solar Power's Good News
Nov. 4, 2011 - The past couple of months have been grim ones for anybody who favors federal support of renewable energy. First, Solyndra declared bankruptcy, providing gleeful conservative skeptics with weeks of anti-solar headlines. Then this week Beacon Power, a flywheel storage company, followed Solyndra into bankruptcy, and an Energy Department watchdog told Congress that the DOE had been ill-equipped to quickly distribute the $35 billion in new funding it got from the 2009 stimulus bill.

So today let's take a break from the gloom and look instead at some good news on the federally funded renewable power front. A couple of weeks ago, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) announced a "game changing" new development in solar panel fabrication. It's not sexy: It's called the Optical Cavity Furnace, and it's a new way of manufacturing solar cells that uses optics rather than radiant or infrared heat. There are a couple of big benefits to this new technology. read more>>>
