 Alternate Energy Monitoring
In cooperation with their energy supplier, energy users in increasing numbers are opting to equip their homes with alternate energy generating sources.
In many cases the energy generated from the alternate source is fed back through a synchronizing inverter so that the alternate source can be tied back to the grid and used transparently in conjunction with the utility’s conventional energy supply.
In addition to the need for true net metering, owners of alternate energy equipment are interested in being able to see trending of power delivered by the alternate generating source, as well as aggregated data showing energy delivered over any arbitrary period of time.

For breweries, possible alternate energy sources must be considered on the basis of their potential application for steam generation.
While nuclear energy is admirably suited to the low cost production of steam for electric power generation, it is questionable whether the state of the art will be advanced to the point where nuclear-based process steam use will be allowed in the food industry or, if allowed, accepted by consumers.
This energy supply has an estimated availability potential of 400 to 500 million tons per year, and with rigorous national forest management program, the available amount of this tremendous form of biomass energy could rise to a quantity approaching one billion tons per year without ever reducing commercial forest acreage.

 Hydrogen - little more than hot air?
While the fossil-fuel era is entering its sunset years, a new energy regime is being born that has the potential to remake civilisation along radical new lines...It produces no harmful CO2 emissions when burned; the only by-products are heat and pure water.
It is this energy source that is one of the major problems with hydrogen: the hydrogen-powered fuel cell in your car might appear to produce no pollutants but did the original energy needed to fill the cell?
Unfortunately, because something is lost whenever one form of energy is converted to another, the hydrogen produced has only 50% of the energy value of the original gas.

 Safe Haven | Alternate Energy: Ethanol
In his analysis he considers the energy required to grow the corn used to produce ethanol as well as the energy used to produce the ethanol from the corn.
This figure should be subtracted from 57,000 BTU energy cost of the corn to obtain a net energy cost of 25,000 BTU per gallon of ethanol from the corn.
Because ethanol has 2/3 the energy content of ethanol of gasoline, the cost is multiplied by 1.5 to put it on a gasoline-equivalent basis, which allows a direct comparison to the price of gasoline.

 USATODAY.com - Alternate energy not in cards at ExxonMobil   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration show that the 20 big energy companies it tracks, together, earned $1.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2001, and together earned less than $10 billion in several other quarters in 2001 and 2002.
Exxon notes it boosted the energy efficiency of its own refineries and chemical plants more than 3% last year vs. 2003, and is investing $100 million over 10 years in a Stanford University project to find energy sources not yet being considered.
Nevertheless, Exxon's huge profits and its reluctance to use them for alternative energy development are unlikely to win much applause from motorists weary of $3 gas, suspicious that the current decline in prices will be short-lived, and hoping either for plenty of gas on the market or for a cheaper alternative.
