Solar power for California

The United States are producing now know the power of light in the House that as many as 11000 to 277500 in the land. The Sectary of Interior Ken Salazar to go ahead a Ivanpah solar electric Generating system, a project proposed by BrightSource two Oakland that could produce up to 370 mégawatt two key energy about 1100, and generate opportunities for work. The project, Country in San Bernardino, California, project inauguration lines was the heat of the Sun in U. S. public with great power.

Key features at the project.

The project, which will be held in three phases, as well as the will put an end to this savoir faire.-take the help of Mirror field heat the Sun on all power Tower récepteurs plus for array each year. To generate electricity, steam in chaudieres Sun in its towers are used to drive a turbine and electricity produced.

How is it going to help the administration.

Boost That will make an effort Administration for rapid growth of production energy renouvelables on public property on a large scale. Whereas Sectary Interior gave a green signal for the first project on October 5, and Ivanpah solar electric Generating system, figures came 3. The day later, Salzar also signed a lease and Cape Wind to generate electricity from clean My Perez renouvelables to Nantucket Sound Community Affairs; this wind farm offshore turbine 130 a would first lease on the courtyard of the continental shelf to develop energy trade wind. Requests all these efforts will help United States to build a clean energy economy could generate their own energy I 1124 for burning-up between 337000 and 843000 homes Hit will reduce carbon. told the press and help the nation's entire not independent in need of energy in the United States and bolster its defences.

Réagir to changes in the project after public investigation, Salazar said, "Since it is essential that we learn from past experience to know that we understand that develop their own energy in place appropriate, I am glad that changes made to improve the project."

California Panel the Chevron marine terminal rental (AP)

SAN DIEGO – a State panel on Friday approved the Chevron Corp. 's request for 30 years to renew its lease for a Terminal outside the Los Angeles County coast where tankers deliver oil sjökabel tubes to a refinery on the Beach marina.

2-1 Vote by the California State Lands Commission came despite objections from oil spills and environmental activists concerned about the threat of whales hit by tankers in Santa Monica Bay to reach the Terminal outside the city of El Segundo. Some urged the shorter term of 10 years.

Supporters of long-term lease renewal judgment the refinery key role in petrol and diesel fuel to Southern California and to near Los Angeles International Airport, as well as its importance for the economy.

Haken will be charged a base rent of approximately 1.3 million dollars per year with annual adjustments on the basis of the consumer price index.

Refinery and offshore operation date to 1911. Tankers are a common site in South Bay, drag to the mooring places approximately 1 1/2 mile offshore where hoses from the ocean floor to ease oil by Underwater lines to storage tanks outside the beach.

During a public comment period before the vote up opponents memory of this year's Gulf spill after the explosion of a Rig drilling a deep sea good for BP PLC. They also pointed out that the Terminal in a few years will be the last such plant on the California coast.

Some advocates of oil supplies, rerouted through the port of Los Angeles, an idea which is hampered by the lack of pipeline capacity to transfer oil from the Harbour to the refinery.

Chris Thomason, Chairman of the Association El Segundo firefighters took note when he told the Panel that for more than 30 years of previous operations has never been a drill or training exercise between El Segundo Fire Department, Chevron Refinery fire department or mutual-aid agencies on marine terminal. He said his title is not even a boat to reach the area terminal and fire-fighters had no training in boarding ships or how to safely extinguish engine room fires on ships.

Chevron counteracted plans and coordination with the local fire brigade and other organs, and it is argued that any deficiencies involving the role of the local Department would be resolved quickly.

The Panel also heard the shipboard fire-fighting at sea should not be handled by the local fire brigade.

Panel, which also approved an environmental impact report by vote, was also strong support for the lease of 30 years from representatives of the company, a regional sportfishing association and some marine biology interests including a small local Aquarium which receives funds from Chevron.

El Segundo Mayor Eric Busch said Chevrons environmental record at the terminal was exemplary.

"All of the oil that has gone through this Terminal during recent decades, Chevron had only two spills," he said.

Busch said spills with 2 400 BARRELS in 1980 and 200 BARRELS in 1991 and purge operations began immediately.
