Climate Change Legislation Introduced
Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE), who addressed climate change issues along with Sen. John Kerry (D-NH) last week at a Brookings Institute forum, introduced legislation on climate change via three bills dealing with initiatives on the international, domestic and tax incentive level. The “Climate Change Comprehensive Legislative Reform Act of 2005” (S. 386,387,388) is co-sponsored by Senators Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Larry Craig (R-ID), and Elizabeth Dole (R-NC). The three bills promote technologies that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity and provide monetary incentives for pursuing and utilizing technologies that minimize GHG intensity in both developing countries and in the United States. Speaking on the Senate floor this week Senator Hagel said “This legislation builds upon three principles: the need for shared responsibilities between developed and developing countries; the linkages between environmental, economic, and energy policies; and the employment of greenhouse gas intensity as the best measurement upon which to build an effective climate policy….I believe that greenhouse gas intensity, or the amount of carbon emitted relative to economic output, is the best measurement for dealing with climate change,” Senator Hagel said. The legislation is based on incentives and economic growth, and does not include mandatory caps on carbon emissions. It is expected […]

Evergreen Solar Introduces Sunplicity Flat Roof Mounting System
Evergreen Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq: ESLR), a manufacturer of solar power products based on its proprietary, low-cost String Ribbon(TM) wafer technology, has introduced Sunplicity(TM), an advanced Flat Roof Mounting System (FRMS) designed specifically for use with its EC-100 Series modules. Geared for large and small solar PV installations on commercial, institutional and government buildings, the Sunplicity FRMS is a non-penetrating, aerodynamic, self-ballasted system that enables faster, easier and more cost-effective PV installations. “Sunplicity is a customer-driven product extension that directly complements our growing module production capabilities,” said Terry Bailey, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Sales. “The Sunplicity FRMS assures that our customers have clear access to the large and rapidly growing grid-tied commercial flat roof market.” Rated for wind speeds as high as 130 miles per hour, the Sunplicity FRMS employs a simplified grounding system that exploits the electrical conductivity of the FRMS frame matrix. Solar panels are quickly grounded to the frame matrix. Sunplicity’s grounding system represents a major advance over other systems. Evergreen Solar is continually working to improve its unique products and lower the cost of solar electricity. Sunplicity’s five-degree pitch on panels provides for self-cleaning to maximize electricity production. To further increase energy output, Sunplicity is designed […]
