Posts Tagged ‘Renewable Energy’Windspire in ActionThursday, April 8th, 2010Mariah Power recently changed its name Windspire Energy to match its flagship product name, the Windspire vertical wind turbine. There a great new video to watch that shows the Windspire in action… http://windspireenergy.com/video/windspire-energy/ And soon you’ll be able to see one of these in front of our Waldt offices! Adobe’s Energy Conservation Efforts Take a New TurnTuesday, March 16th, 2010More exciting news about Windspire product placement… check out the photos of the installed Windspires on the roof of the Silicon Valley…  The two buildings on either side create a wind tunnel effect for the Windspires... 20 Windspire Wind Turbines Create Renewable Energy at Silicon Valley Headquarters 03.15.2010 – SAN JOSE, Calif. — Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) and Mariah Power (www.mariahpower.com) today announced Adobe has completed the installation of 20 Windspire® wind turbines at its San Jose, Calif., campus, marking the company’s first renewable energy installation. Adobe is a recognized leader for its green building efforts, which have earned it the U.S. Green Building Council’s highest accolade for green practices. Adobe is the first commercial office building to receive the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design LEED®-EB Platinum certification for its San Jose headquarters and the world’s first commercial enterprise to achieve a total of four Platinum certifications under the LEED program.
The new Windspires are located on Adobe’s sixth–floor patio, which doubles as a rooftop garden and recreational area above an office parking garage. The patio sits between Adobe’s three office towers, which create a wind tunnel effect from sustained winds off the Pacific Ocean. About Adobe Systems Incorporated About Windspire 10 Million Solar Roof InitiativeMonday, February 15th, 2010Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), chairman of the Senate’s green jobs subcommittee introduced legislation with nine cosponsors to encourage the installation of 10 million solar systems on the rooftops of homes and businesses over the next decade. Senator Sanders cited both a need to have energy independence from foreign energy sources and the possibility of a new robust sector of the green economy for installers and equipment manufacturers as important reasons for submitting this legislation. Solar systems and solar hot water would be further incentivized by this bill for residential, commercial, institutional and local government. For more information about this bill visit the Renewable Energy World article here: http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2010/02/sen-sanders-introduces-10-million-solar-home-initiative To contact our North Carolina State Senators in support of this bill, call Senator Richard Burr at (202) 224-3154 or Senator Kay Hagan at (202) 224-6342. I hope that this legislation goes through. We still need some way of making solar and renewable energy solutions more affordable. CEY The nation that leads the global economy…Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010In his State of the Union address, President Obama reiterated that “providing incentives for energy-efficiency and clean energy are the right thing to do for our future -– because the nation that leads the clean energy economy will be the nation that leads the global economy. And America must be that nation.” See it here. Waldt Renewables is a small business aimed at helping customers in eastern North Carolina understand how they can leverage existing tax incentives to pay for turnkey renewable energy solutions for their homes and businesses. We tell our customers that there is an investment when installing any of these solutions. But we believe, as do most of our customers, that renewable energy production is the right direction… from stabilizing energy costs over time to reducing our national economy’s dependence on foreign energy sources. More importantly, we understand that the more people who are interested in and understand creating clean energy, the more positive an impact on not taxing the environmental future of this region. Let us hope that our politicians here us on both the state and federal level about maintaining, or better yet increasing our clean energy incentives. Visualizing Energy Creation Generates Conservation AwarenessTuesday, January 12th, 2010Recently the New York Times published an article about Windspires being installed in front of the City Hall in Copenhagen. While some energy is being generated and offset, the primary goal is to create energy conservation. One of the people quoted suggests the concept is the same as having city dwellers consider where milk comes from… seeing how energy is produced creates an awareness of how energy is used. I think this is true. If I see a wind turbine operating, I am far more likely to think about how I use energy. Do I minimize my and my family’s energy usage? Wind turbines, large or small, as energy generators, provide food for thought. For more information about Windspires in Copenhagan, along with some good facts about the Windspire product, click here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/07/business/global/07iht-rbogwind.html Windspire mentioned in 2009 Clean Energy Roundup ArticleTuesday, January 5th, 2010The Mariah Windspire wind turbine is mentioned in an “This Year in Clean Energy”… “Congressional leadership has driven both energy and climate legislation; and even allowing a temporary installation of two U.S.-made wind turbines (one by Mariah Power and the other by Southwest Windpower) to remain at the base of the U.S. Capitol on the grounds of the U.S. botanical gardens — clearly symbolic of the commitment to clean energy technologies.” See the entire article here… Audit: Dominion Power Users Paid $524M Too MuchFriday, December 18th, 2009Interesting article in the Virginian Pilot about Dominion’s Virginia Customers paying too much for their electricity. Although they have not initiated an investigation in North Carolina, it makes you questions our reliance on utility companies… It’s time to generate our own power using renewable energy sources! See the story below at: http://hamptonroads.com/2009/12/audit-dominion-power-overcharged-customers-524m Waldt Renewables Regional Dealer for WindspireMonday, November 30th, 2009Waldt Renewables and Blue Sun Renewable Energy have announced a regional dealer relationship for northeastern North Carolina and the Outer Banks for the Windspire vertical wind turbine. Windspire is a new approach to wind power. Smaller, silent and affordable, the 30 foot high Windspire installs easily to capture wind energy in more places – at homes and businesses, as well as for larger energy projects. Working with wind from all directions, Windspires can also be grouped together as a wind garden to give you the power you need, without tall towers and with competitive installation costs. Windspire is manufactured in the United States and has been featured in a ABC Extreme Makeover Home in Jamesville.
