Seriously does the world need a bigger excuse to intervene? Hell, we started a War in Vietnam over shots that WEREN&#8217;T fired. China has taken over countries just because a 1,000 ago they were part of China. But messing with multiple Nuclear Power Plants ain&#8217;t enough? Earth&#8217;s Countries are going to mess around here and have a real disaster on its hands.</p>

<p><strong>What is This Device?</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s called ÖkoWatt and its tech was originally created by no other than the legendary Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist, Nikola Tesla.</p>
<p>Initially it was concealed from the general public because it offered average families the opportunity to save on their monthly energy costs. <a href="http://track.roinattrack.com/click?cep=2iSzLCQN0QDlUE_kc09NvGhBKa4V9Ds1f1yyex-Z58wWB_8RM5YwHXsOKH9NWUtbuCUSEMRKHQ_0RlDGcUpFlJzGXzi4Q_p74VT-SWA2Q0i-Amg8DFsYirLyDONBCYYGMTX9V7TsDuuIZkSVuIL76ySCYwsuwsEUjTcMDlbbd79ETiuYdHHt5oGNQdr1l1eN7JPAsD9viwI-kdqmdTQvkbPd9bdjXInYoegmhpYVBIUXGEESFgLUY8_CvXOPm9Clow1QlJnEaHOjY_GdeJgzp5p53t2mhHj-vj1kxXzkn49xdzLAV9y76nAZJmRS3uV_nv_UPspIgPLK2NkkliRU4r8uXeozX-1H8ZniVXk_djgY91el84Pbh34N5ozleyRYFKReOdCJ-RDKkHh0ExgHan4LjC9L7uL56NKlOIASPj_sC4R9vbQtBfpCO51NEXXA5XZ8yx2ibfxptiiJ9r4pL9Gas3GK5szYiYN8yVYXopT4LgI9MXdJ2xGppP2wnfHhysBeE3FMbR4NJL1HDz8tfQ&amp;lptoken=154f8257813173a793f7&amp;adversion_id=4238759&amp;ad_id=369037&amp;budget_id=206702&amp;adcampaign_id=150894&amp;publication_id=2853&amp;headline_id=1322572&amp;content_id=279679&amp;previewimage_id=333544&amp;device=desktop" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>ÖkoWatt is a small, compact, affordable, and easy-to-use plug-in unit</strong></a><strong> </strong>that stops unnecessary power from entering the electrical cables and overloading the network.</p>
<p>ÖkoWatt is your power company&#8217;s worst nightmare. They have been trying to hide ÖkoWatt from the everyday consumer and have even banned it in retail shops.</p>
<p>Big Energy is threatened by this device and its potential to cut into profits.</p>
<p>However, thanks to the Internet, the secret is out, and everyday people are now reaping the rewards of less power consumption overall, <strong><em>as well as that used by household appliances.</em></strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I chose to post about something more radical. INFRASTRUCTURE. The idea behind &#8220;keep it in the ground&#8221; is so subversive. That&#8217;s what the XL Pipeline was all about and why the itt was so hotly contested. If you can&#8217;t bring fossil fuels to the market; What good are they? Well, New York tried to do it through legislation, and things got hot right away.</p>

<p>Last September, I <a href="https://www.globalenergyinstitute.org/start-spreading-news-new-york-126">wrote</a> about one of the boldest efforts yet by New York to halt energy infrastructure in its tracks.  This effort utilized a little-known provision of the Clean Air Act – the “good neighbor” provision at Section 126(b) – to argue that hundreds of energy-related and manufacturing facilities located across nine “upwind” states should be subject to additional, costly controls and limitations in order to assist New York in meeting its air quality obligations under 2008 and 2015 national ozone air quality standards.  Last week, the Federal Register <a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-05-20/pdf/2019-09928.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">published</a> the proposal by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) to reject New York’s far-reaching petition, providing momentary relief to the thousands of workers across nine states that found themselves within the crosshairs of New York’s “keep it in the ground” ideology.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>With this week’s EPA action, the comment period is now officially open for the public to weigh-in on whether it supports – or opposes – New York’s attempt to curtail or shut down legitimate business activities across Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.  If you live in any one of these states, and particularly if you live near or work at any of the many <a href="https://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/air_pdf/sips126petition.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">facilities targeted</a> (pages 33-42) by New York’s petition, now is the time for you to speak up.</p>
<p>Take a good look at the map below to see the locations of the many facilities targeted by New York’s petition.  Not surprisingly, power plants and refineries are major targets, but so are countless other facility types.  From a Pennsylvania facility that produces renewable energy from municipal waste to steel plants in Michigan to a box factory in rural Virginia, New York’s petition contorts the Clean Air Act well beyond the intended “major source or group of stationary sources” which are typically the subject of a state petition under Section 126.  Even a facility in western Indiana at Purdue University – which is more than 400 miles away from New York’s westernmost border – is targeted as a “bad neighbor” by New York’s complaint.</p>
<p>:}</p>
<p>Go there and read. More next week.</p>

<p id="iY9Xt0">Bitcoin consumes more energy than the entire nation of Switzerland, according to new estimates published by researchers at the University of Cambridge.</p>
<p id="4P0Orz">An <a href="https://www.cbeci.org/">online tool</a> that launched this week called the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index, or CBECI, estimates how much energy is needed to maintain the Bitcoin network in real time, before using this to calculate its annual energy usage.</p>
<p id="W8bxrR">Currently, the CBECI says the global Bitcoin network is consuming more than seven gigwatts of electricity. Over the course of a year that’s equal to around 64 TWh or terawatt hours of energy consumption. That’s more than the country of Switzerland uses over the same time period (58 TWh per year), but less than Colombia (68 TWh per year).</p>

<p>Ice melt across Greenland is accelerating, and the volume of meltwater running into the ocean has reached levels that are probably unprecedented in seven or eight millennia. The findings, drawn from ice cores stretching back almost 350 years, show a sharp spike in melting over the past two decades.</p>
<p>Previous studies have shown record melting on parts of Greenland&#8217;s ice, but the latest analysis includes the first estimate of historical runoff across the entire ice sheet. The results, published on 5 December in <i>Nature</i><sup><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-07617-1#ref-CR1" data-track="click" data-action="anchor-link" data-track-label="go to reference" data-track-category="references">1</a></sup>, show that the runoff rate over the past two decades was 33% higher than the twentieth-century average, and 50% higher than in the pre-industrial era.</p>
<p>“The melting is not just increasing — it’s accelerating,” says lead author Luke Trusel, a glaciologist at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey. “And that’s <a href="https://www.nature.com/news/greenland-once-lost-nearly-all-its-ice-and-could-again-1.21098" data-track="click" data-label="https://www.nature.com/news/greenland-once-lost-nearly-all-its-ice-and-could-again-1.21098" data-track-category="body text link">a key concern for the future.</a>”</p>

<h1>Warren Buffett and casino boss Sheldon Adelson clash in Nevada over electricity</h1>
<p>by Trevor Hunnicutt</p>
<p><strong>New York</strong> | Casino magnate <a href="https://www.afr.com/news/world/north-america/elon-musk-just-gave-almost-us40000-to-republicanallied-group-20180715-h12q03">Sheldon Adelson</a> and investor <a href="https://www.afr.com/personal-finance/why-warren-buffett-likes-apple-20180930-h162k3">Warren Buffett</a> are set for a desert showdown over electricity next week as the two billionaires&#8217; interests collide on election ballots in Nevada.</p>
<p>At issue in the November 6 election is the cost and control of power from the neon lights shining on the Las Vegas Strip to the state&#8217;s gold mines.</p>
<p data-gtm-vis-first-on-screen-7770372_137="3869" data-gtm-vis-total-visible-time-7770372_137="4000" data-gtm-vis-has-fired-7770372_137="1">A measure supported by Republican donor Adelson, who is also Las Vegas Sands Corp&#8217;s chairman, would force state legislators to break up control over much of the state&#8217;s electricity in effect held by a unit of Buffett&#8217;s Berkshire Hathaway, NV Energy. It would allow customers to choose their own power provider by 2023.</p>
<p>Buffett has supported liberal causes and backed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016.</p>
<p>Unlike previous western duels, both sides in Nevada are showing up with cash. The energy tussle is shaping up as one of the more costly of an election season in which Democrats are trying to wrest control of at least one chamber of US Congress from Republicans.</p>
<p>:}</p>
<p>Go there and decide for yourself. More next week.:</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All the capitalists care about is the money. So what if somebody dies making the power? So what if making the power kills someone? As long as they get their 100,000K profit or whatever it is. The numbers really have to mount before they even notice. Who cares if a &#8220;little person&#8221; dies, they were just taking up space anyway.</p>
<p>NOW this is a refreshing perspective.</p>

<h1 class="sc-bdVaJa dGpFfu">The Lifesaving Benefits of Offshore Wind Power</h1>
<p class="fqygwe-0-Paragraph-hHEPzZ bHLAiu">Theoretically, offshore wind farms could supply all the electricity the U.S. consumes, according to the Energy Department.</p>

<div class="Raw-s1p4r1tl-0 jioFUO">
<p>New plans to build two commercial <a href="https://theconversation.com/why-the-offshore-wind-industry-is-about-to-take-off-95997" target="_blank" rel="noopener">offshore wind farms</a> near the <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/massachusetts">Massachusetts</a> and <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rhode-island">Rhode Island</a> coasts have sparked a lot of <a href="http://capeandislands.org/post/vineyard-wind-hears-public-concerns#stream/0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discussion</a> about the <a href="https://www.boem.gov/Offshore-Wind-Energy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vast potential of this previously untapped source of electricity</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="Raw-s1p4r1tl-0 jioFUO">
<p>But as <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=_h0VdMkAAAAJ&amp;hl=en&amp;oi=ao" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an environmental health and climate researcher</a>, I&#8217;m intrigued by how this gust of <a href="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/11/7/074019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">offshore wind power</a> may improve <a href="https://www.usnews.com/topics/subjects/public_health">public health</a>. Replacing fossil fuels with <a href="https://doi.org/10.1038/nclimate2771" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wind and solar energy</a>, research shows, can <a href="https://www.epa.gov/pm-pollution/health-and-environmental-effects-particulate-matter-pm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reduce risks of asthma, hospitalizations and heart attacks</a>. In turn, that can save lives.</p>
</div>
<div class="Raw-s1p4r1tl-0 jioFUO">
<p>So my colleagues and I calculated the health impact of generating electricity through <a href="https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2018/5/25/17393156/offshore-wind-us-massachusetts-rhode-island-zinke" target="_blank" rel="noopener">offshore wind turbines</a> – which until now the U.S. has barely begun to do.</p>

<div class="Raw-s1p4r1tl-0 jioFUO">
<p><b>Greening the Grid</b></p>
</div>
<div class="Raw-s1p4r1tl-0 jioFUO">
<p>New England gets almost none of its electricity from burning coal and more than three-quarters of it from burning <a href="https://www.iso-ne.com/about/key-stats/resource-mix/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">natural gas and operating nuclear reactors</a>. The rest is from hydropower and from renewable energy, including wind and solar power and the burning of wood and refuse.</p>

<p>Go there and read. More next week.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the years I have gotten 100s of requests to post links with other Blogs and Internet Sites that are related to the things that I post about; Sometimes tangentially. Sometimes very tangentially. Below I am going to try to post some of those with the text of the request where applicable or sometimes just the link.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I am only one guy by the way. That is it, Community Energy Systems and Energy Tough Love is just one guy with 900 bucks in the bank&#8230;.so there is no way I can track down each post of mine and put the link on the page. Did I mention I was 63 years old. I would be dead by the time i did 10 or 20 post. Is some of this sarcastic? Well yah. But I never mean it spitefully. Please laugh with me not at me. Consider this:</p>
<p>Hello ,</p>
<p>My name is James Giraldo and I’m the Communications Manager on SaveOnEnergy.com®.</p>
<p>I wanted to point out this page: <a href="/?m=200810" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">censys.org</a> which links to a broken kids energy page on <a href="http://www.miamisci.org/af/sln/frankenstein/index.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">miamisci.org</a></p>
<p>Our team has created a <a href="https://www.saveonenergy.com/kids-learning-center/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Kids Learning Center</a> which is filled with free resources similar to the ones previously found on that page. Please take a look, and if you find any of the content useful consider linking to it on your page, or perhaps use it to replace the broken link so your visitors don&#8217;t end up on that broken page.</p>
<p>Here is a hyperlink to our kids learning center:<br />
<a href="https://www.saveonenergy.com/kids-learning-center/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.saveonenergy.com/kids-learning-center/</a></p>
<p>Thank you in advance for your help and attention. Please let me know if you have questions or concerns that I can assist with.</p>
<p>James G.<br />
Communications Director<br />
6860 North Dallas Parkway, Suite 228 | Plano, TX 75024<br />
<a href="mailto:James@admin.saveonenergy.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">James@admin.saveonenergy.com</a><br />
www.saveonenergy.com</p>
<p>Or this:</p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Hi censys.org,</span></p>
<p>I was reading a page on your site and I noticed you had link pointing to a page that is broken (no longer valid) which I thought you might want to fix.</p>
<p>The broken link can be found at the middle of the page.  The page that has the broken link is:</p>
<p><a href="/index.php?s=energy&amp;paged=27" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">/index.php?s=energy&amp;paged=27</a></p>
<p>Attached is a screenshot with a circle around the broken link to make it easier to find.</p>
<p>Having broken links on your site isn’t good for your readers and also Google lowers your ranking score if you have them.  It would be awesome if you could replace the broken link with one of our related posts instead, if not, that is okay.</p>
<p><span class="u_b en_0 C4_Z2aVTcY" data-test-id="message-from"><span class="D_F rtlI_rtlI_dz_sSg "><span class="u_N C_Z1VRpVF"><a href="http:www.businesselectric.com">http:www.businesselectric.com</a></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
If you would replace it with our link we would share the post with 14,000+ followers in our niche.  We are up for collaborating more with you or negotiating more about it.</span></p>
<p>Thanks for reading my email and have a nice day ?</p>
<p>Regards,<br />
Oliver</p>

<div>We recently put together an in-depth resource (~10K words) about work boots, which received over 1000 social shares. It&#8217;s quite different to the other articles you see on the web about this topic.</div>
