Nevada’s Solar Stats | The Solar State
https://thesolarstate.wordpress.com/2008/10/24/nevadas-solar-stats
Nevada’s Solar Stats. They have stats on each state’s rebate programs, incentives and tax credits – including Nevada. Nevada is rated with 4 stars. For its dedication to renewable energy. In fact, it’s written into our legislation: 20% by 2015! A new post they have up is about the barriers to going solar. While this is on an individual level and I’m more concerned at the state level, it’s a very good read nonetheless. Here’s an excerpt:. What do you all think? Why or why not?

Off the light! | The Solar State
https://thesolarstate.wordpress.com/2008/11/03/offthelight
If the world weens itself from its insatiable addiction to the dark stuff (coal), does that mean we can turn on the lights in our homes 24/7 while cranking the AC and heater on full blast? Sure, the sun’s rays and wind’s breezes don’t emit CO2 or noxious gases, but that’s not the point of renewable energy. To paraphrase Immanuel Kant, we must treat our natural resources as an end not a means. This entry was posted on Monday, November 3rd, 2008 at 11:26 am and is filed under Uncategorized. You can’t...

Another Praise of Progress | The Solar State
https://thesolarstate.wordpress.com/2008/11/05/another-praise-of-progress
Another Praise of Progress. I’m adding my voice to the millions of others rejoicing in Barack Obama’s win. I voted for Obama because he is a community organizer. He understands what it means to build support from the bottom up – to listen to, to deliberate with, to include everyday citizens. I voted for Obama because he wants to expand not retract our freedom. I like that Obama had to pay off student loans; he understands the costs of education. Feed You can leave a response.

Environmental Capital | The Solar State
https://thesolarstate.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/environmentalcapital
Learned a new concept today: coal as capital. Schumacher argues that we should treat coal and oil as capital instead of income. Because I’m not an economist, I had to ask help to figure out what exactly that meant. With the assistance of Ed Lenert. My prof/boss I think I’ve got it down. If you get $10 million out of a harvest of corn, the cost of reseeding, fertilizing and doing the process all over again will be returned to you the next harvest – a return on your invest for growing corn.

God’s Environmental Policy | The Solar State
https://thesolarstate.wordpress.com/2008/11/06/gods-environmental-policy
God’s Environmental Policy. You can now add the Green Bible to the other hundreds of versions of the Good Book. Wrote about this environmental angle yesterday, asking “Did you know that the Bible contains 1,000 references to the planet but only 490 references to heaven and 530 references to love? In the Green Bible. Highlighted passages include references to the earth, animals, soil, and even pollution:. When you drink of clear water, must you foul the rest with your feet? Psalm 104:5, 24.
