NaiKun Project Moves Forward with Environmental Assessment Process

Vancouver, British Columbia – NaiKun Wind Group Inc., (“NaiKun”) announced today it has obtained a Section 11 order from the BC Environmental Assessment Office (EAO), a significant step forward in the development of the proposed offshore wind project. The order defines the terms and procedures for conducting the required environmental assessment process.

Cleaner air is blowing in the wind - by Faculty of Engineering McMaster University  
June 22, 2007

Research and development undertaken in the Department of Mechanical Engineering has played a significant role in the official launch of a next-generation wind turbine by Cleanfield Energy.

Faculty and students from the department joined company officials, local politicians, educators and government representatives on Thursday to celebrate the naming of Cleanfield V3.5, a three-metre tall, vertical-axis wind turbine designed to provide electrical power for use by individual hom

"McMaster's testing of our VAWT is crucial to our overall product development process and corporate objective of becoming a global leader in the residential and commercial wind turbine industry," said Tony Verrelli, president & CEO of Cleanfield Energy Corp. The testing and evaluation conducted by McMaster led to improvements that resulted in the commercialized 3.5kW unit..

Cleanfield Energy demonstrated the V3.5 at the event. The turbine blades typically operate at a rate of 120 rpm, but can go up to 180 rpm (three revolutions per second) or higher under very windy conditions. The turbine can generate enough electrical energy to power most household needs and feeds extra capacity back into the hydro grid.

 SkyPower Wind Energy Fund LP Receives Environmental and CPTAQ Approval for CRCE Phase of the Terrawinds Project Rivière-du-Loup, QC and Toronto, ON July 5, 2007/CNW/

SkyPower Wind Energy Fund LP (the “Partnership”) announced today that it has received its environmental decree from the Quebec government for the CRCE Phase of the project for the initial 22 wind turbines of its 171MW planned wind park in Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec (the “Facility”).  

The Partnership has also received its final approval from the Commission de protection du territoire agricole du Québec (“CPTAQ”) for the CRCE Phase.

Waiting for Data? Overnighting a Cell Phone? Problem Solved, Says SWI 
SkyServe Satellite Wind Data Service Offers Reliable 
Low Cost Satellite Transmission of Real-Time Data 
May 15, 2007– Somerville, MA – A new service from Second Wind Inc. provides site developers, wind farm operators, forecasters and meteorologists with a new way of obtaining data from remote locations that is superior to current cell-modem and satellite transmission options. 

The choices are coming down to Carbon Rationing and Population Control if we are to stop what is becoming runaway global warming.  People assume that producing clean energy will help save us from the Climate Change effects of Global Warming.  The opposite is happening. I just finished reading about a company in England who is

suggesting that people switch to getting their energy from their windmills because they can.  Apparently in the UK customers can opt to choose the source of their electricity.   Well not exactly. What is really happening is that the electricity bill directs the payment to the wind supplier rather than to the coal and oil energy producers.   Good stuff right?  Well yes but..... The amount of electricity produced by the oil and coal producers continues to rise because the overall demand for energy is soaring.   Because of increasing populations and the rise of  industry and materialism in the world, this demand will continue to soar unless drastic action is taken by the nations of the world.   Global warming is actually being increased by the amount it takes to build and maintain alternative clean energy and the uncontrolled increase in the amount of dirty fossil fuel energy production.

Certainly if all energy came from a clean energy source such as wind or solar we could sustain a much higher energy demand than present.   However, the situation is hopeless as long as  dirty energy source production is not kept in check.   Reducing the amount of dirty energy allowed by the amount of clean energy produced would help.   Carbon rationing, public pressure, political will and clean energy developments will be required to make that possible.  

Carbon credits that are being proposed only encourage alternate energy but do little  to reign in fossil fuel pollution.

Population control is a sensitive issue.  We can teach women to press their knees together  which has proven  not to work or we can face the alternatives such as birth control.   Right wing extremists need to rethink their position of throwing everyone out of the life boat in favour of promoting population explosions.  Being oblivious to the benefits of birth control is living in denial and ignorance.  The planet cannot accommodate unending population increase.

If we do nothing, there is the also the approach of exterminating large populations of the  world which seems to be the default strategy.  

Most do not want to rattle the oil and coal cartels, but there is no choice.  If the human race is to survive we have to find ways to stop using the same old energy sources or clean them up.  The people of planet earth are in a race against time so we need to get it right this time around.
