Fluid Power is Green Energy. This video clip is an excerpt from NFPA’s “Fluid Power: A Force for Change” ½ hour TV program. The full video, viewable at www.nfpa.com, is a fascinating exploration of the fluid power industry and its positive effects on our current and future society, as well as the promise it holds for a rising generation of young engineers looking for exciting and socially-responsible careers. Fluid power—hydraulics and pneumatics—is one of our most reliable technologies, and its advancement will have transformative effects on our world and society.

A Taskforce on Peak Oil and Energy Security warns that supplies of cheap, easily accessible oil will start to diminish by 2013.

The Taskforce group, which includes Virgin, Yahoo, Solarcentury and transport operator Stagecoach, wants the Government to dramatically increase investment in clean energy and renewables to avoid an energy crisis.

The IEA figures to 2030 are based on the assumption, that governments invest in clean energy and renewables while using coal for liquid fuels, transferring additional transportation fuels to natural gas and fully develop African oil production before a 2015 deadline. The efficiency of used energy must also be drastically improved during the ongoing decline.

Furthermore:
In most cases, basic Victorian engineering skills, adapted in modern industries could improve efficiency by 60-80% as scientist have pointed out in the past. The illusion of unlimited and cheap energy has caused modern engineering to lose these basic skills while planning new projects and industry complexes.

Most industrial energy is wasted on pumping liquids & gases by brute force rather than good engineering.

This week a group of renewable energy leaders, part of the RES Alliance for Jobs, announced their plan to boost clean energy employment by more than a quarter of a million over the next fifteen years. The group’s study shows they could do it ‘without’ a controversial cap-and-trade plan, something that may appeal to politicians in an election year. Clean Skies Dan Goldstein reports.

Rhone Resch, President and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association, talks to Clean Skies News about the solar industry’s impacts at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. Resch says that the solar business will move forward whether or not an agreement is reached.
