Pure Energy Launches - First National Radio Program Dedicated to the Business of Renewable Energy
Pure Energy Launches - First National Radio Program Dedicated to the Business of Renewable Energy

On Tuesday July 7, 2009, 7:00 am EDT
MIAMI, July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure Energy, the first national radio show dedicated to the business of renewable energy, is launching from the Miami studios of 880 The Biz (WZAB) on Monday, July 13, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. EDT. Pure Energy is hosted by noted energy expert Sean O'Hanlon, who is also the Executive Director of the American Biofuels Council (ABC). Guests for the premier show include renowned engineer and author Dr. Robert Zubrin as well as worldwide peak oil expert and author of nine books including "Peak Everything," Richard Heinberg.
"With oil prices heading back over $70/bbl, and set to go higher, it could not be more urgent for America to take immediate action to break free of the stranglehold of the oil cartel," said Zubrin, author of "Energy Victory". The U.S. congress could effectively destroy OPEC with the stroke of a pen simply by passing a law requiring that all new cars sold in the U.S. be flex fueled. Such a law would make flex fuel the international standard and would thereby create fuel choice all around the world."
Pure Energy will be a lively repartee between O'Hanlon and his guests discussing the current business challenges and opportunities in the energy arena as the world moves into the "Age of Renewable Energy".
"No single issue has as much of a far reaching impact as energy, and today we are facing several key issues that are vital to our future. Among them are energy security, crumbling infrastructure, economic development, and environmental concerns," said O'Hanlon. "This show will focus on the opportunities that lie within the challenges. The discussion of how we effectively address these issues simultaneously is long overdue. It's time to think outside the barrel."
Pure Energy is a weekly live talk show airing on Mondays on WZAB from 6:00 -7:00 p.m. EDT. Listeners can also tune in live at http://www.pureenergyshow.com/.

Sales of Alternative Fuel Autos Continue to Rise
Sales of Alternative Fuel Autos Continue to Rise August 28, 2006: Facing rising gas prices, Americans are buying more alternative fuel autos, including hybrids, diesel and ethanol- capable vehicles, according to automakers.
The ethanol industry has substantial room to grow. Ethanol now represents just 3% of the total annual gasoline supply in the United States. Roughly 30% of US gasoline contains some ethanol (Source: Congressional Research Service). The potential of E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline), ethanol's share of gasoline supply could rise to as much as 10% of total annual US gasoline consumption merely by replacing MTBE. The Energy Information Administration reported US motor gasoline consumption in 2005 as just under 140 billion gallons.

The 2005 Renewable Fuels Standard Act mandates that ethanol production double by 2012 to 7.5 billion gallons, which is estimated to reduce the U.S.'s oil consumption by 80,000 barrels per day. (Source Edmunds.com)

Gulf Alternative Energy
Welcome
Gulf Alternative Energy has developed a new cellulose processing technology. Gulf’s new machine processes common feedstocks, such as sorghum, switchgrass and agricultural waste into a very fine powder. Lab tests show that this powder processes into sugars for ethanol much faster than normal feedstocks. Time is money in the production of biofuels.
The Company plans to patent its, exclusive technology to retrofit existing ethanol plants for cellulosic ethanol, as part of the technology package for new cellulosic processing plants, and also for use in the design and construction of its own cellulosic ethanol production facility.
Gulf Alternative Energy has developed a cellulosic ethanol preprocessor that can break down multiple feedstocks into minute particles thus facilitating and making more efficient the production of fuels from non-food feedstocks. The Company believes that this technology is the keystone to solving the problem of creating commercially viable ethanol from non-food feedstocks. With the worldwide demand for energy continuing to rise, Gulf Alternative Energy is working toward creating a long-term viable solution to meet the energy needs of the United States.

Cleanfield Energy Receives UL Certification for Its 3.5KW Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Inverter
ANCASTER, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 7, 2009) - Cleanfield Energy® ("Cleanfield") (TSX VENTURE:AIR), an international leader in Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT), announced today that its proprietary Inverter for the V3.5 VAWT has been tested and certified to UL standard 1741.Cleanfield's Inverter was tested and determined to be in compliance with UL 1741-Standard for Inverters, Converters, Controllers and Interconnection System Equipment for Use with Distributed Energy Resources. The testing was done by CSA International who is accredited by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) US Department of Labor as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).While most small wind turbine manufacturers in the marketplace today use generic commercially available inverters, Cleanfield has specifically engineered the Inverter to optimize the performance of Cleanfield's VAWT. This allows the incorporation of proprietary safety and performance enhancing features such as vibration monitoring with frequency band skipping, full anemometer closed loop feedback allowing for power curve optimization and over speed protection resulting in a safe and fully integrated VAWT system. The topology and basic algorithms used in the inverter can be applied for use in larger power Inverters with only hardware upgrades. This topology will enable us to control systems that use induction generators as well as synchronous generators."This is a very significant event for Cleanfield, said Tony Verrelli, CEO of Cleanfield Energy. The UL certification of our proprietary inverter technology and solution, proves that we have designed it to the high level of the Underwriters Laboratory's safety standards."ABOUT CLEANFIELD ENERGY CORP.Cleanfield Energy Corp. (Cleanfield) is a subsidiary of Cleanfield Alternative Energy Inc. and is committed to the development of renewable energy products primarily for the urban environment. Cleanfield's industry leading VAWT, which can be mounted on a tower, on building rooftops or integrated into building designs, offers elegant and quiet point of use renewable green energy generation.FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTSCertain statements in this news release may be considered to be forward-looking. These statements relate to future events or Cleanfield's future economic performance and reflect the current assumptions and expectations of management.

Pickens Spikes Plan For Giant Texas Wind Farm
Tuesday, July 07, 2009
Steve Gelsi
MarketWatch Pulse
NEW YORK -- Boone Pickens no longer plans to build the world's largest wind farm, a spokesman for the Texas billionaire told the Dallas Morning News. Pickens had already delayed some of his plans. Now he said he instead plans to build five or six smaller wind farms in the Midwest and possibly Texas. Hurdles faces by Pickens included lower natural gas prices, which made power from wind less desireable, plus a lack of transmissions lines. "It was a little more complicated than we thought," Pickens told the newspaper.

Stimulus Funding Available to Improve Your Home
Money Available to Improve Your HomeComments 0 Recommend 1
July 6, 2009 - 11:19 AM
Randy Simons
Stimulus funding is now available for homeowners to make that energy efficient improvement to their home.
Today (Monday July 6th) Congressman Paul Tonko held a news conference in Troy with Karen Gordon, Executive Director of the Commission on Economic Opportunity for the Greater Capital Region, and Kathy Cloutier of the Albany Community Action Partnership.
The news conference was held at 8 Garden Court in Troy, which has undergone weatherization improvements.
In a press release sent out many agencies say they now have the money for projects all thanks to a boost in funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and are now seeking qualified candidates.
Congressman Tonko says, "We need to get the word out to low income homeowners that money is available to weatherize and improve the energy efficiency of their homes. The stimulus funds are there to provide for home improvements that will dramatically improve energy efficiency, save homeowners money, and provide work for contractors during slow time in the economy. We encourage homeowners to contact their local agencies to see if they qualify for the program"
Here is a list of agencies which administer the weatherization program in the 21st Congressional District:
