<p>The Company has just released a new 7 chapter research report defining the World Connector Market for Renewable Energy. The report profiles the Wind and Solar segments of the global market and outlines the major product types, connector categories, connector types, as well as projecting annual connector sales and forecast for each market segment and regions of the world. The forecast will detail each specific connector category and connector type. While there may be some reference made to electrical components, this report will focus on the electronic connector content only.</p>
<p><b>Potential of Wind Energy</b><br />
Renewable energy markets grew robustly in 2008. Among new renewables (excluding large hydropower), wind power was the largest addition to renewable energy capacity.<br />
Existing wind power capacity grew by 29 percent in 2008 to reach 121 GW, or more than double the 59 GW of capacity in place at the end of 2005.<br />
The 2008 increase was led by high growth in the strongest markets of the United States (8.4 GW added), China (6.3 GW), India (1.8 GW), and Germany (1.7 GW).<br />
The United States overtook long-time wind power leader Germany, ending the year with 25 GW compared to Germany’s 24 GW.</p>
<p><b>Potential of Solar Energy</b></p>
<p>Solar energy is at the root of most forms of energy that humans use for power. Scientific American magazine states, “The energy in sunlight striking the earth for 40 minutes is equivalent to global energy consumption for one year. Solar energy’s potential is off the charts.”  The sun’s energy, known as solar radiation, can be converted into various forms of power, such as electricity and solar-thermal (or heat).</p>

<description><![CDATA[To be honest, I would have never thought that I would be writing a blog that reaches the conclusions]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To be honest, I would have never thought that I would be writing a blog that reaches the conclusions that I am now expressing here.  What has changed my mind are the unfortunate and disastrous events at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan, after the earthquake and tsunami of 2011.  I want to be very clear what my current conclusions are and my reasons for them.  So, here we go.</p>
<p>1.  I continue to believe that nuclear power can be an important and significant source of power for mankind.  The importance has risen over the years as the climate change consequences of burning fossil fuels are becoming more clear.</p>
<p>2.  An additional fact that makes nuclear power significant is the dwindling supply of fossil fuels and their geopolitical implications.</p>
<p>3.  Nuclear power can be safe provided that adequate precautions are taken to assure that the reactor fuel and the spent fuel cannot possibly cause any harm.</p>
<p>4.  Theoretically, we know how to take these precautions. Practically, this is a different matter.  As long as the basic motivation behind generating power is the profit motive, we need very strong laws and regulations that force the discipline necessary for safe operation.</p>
<p>5.  Recent events in Japan have shown that even the Japanese, known for being meticulous and detail-oriented, did not even anticipate such a tsunami as the one that just happened.  Furthermore, there is evidence that Tokyo Electric Power executives (owners of the Fukushima plant) were too much interested in protecting their hardware than cooling it with sea water.  The profit motive (or not losing too much) seems to have been a priority consideration.  This is evidence that our human and political systems are not robust enough to guard against a run-away chain reaction.  Do I really have the assurance that this balance is so different in United States or Europe?  I am not convinced.</p>
<p>6.  So I come to the conclusion that although theoretically nuclear power can be safe, our human and political systems get in the way.</p>
<p>7.  Another thing that gets in the way is that we can only plan for problems we can foresee.  The problem with nuclear power is that the consequences of an unforeseen problem can be so devastating that we can never be sure that we have thought of everything.  We can think of very few other inventions that have such dire consequences if a &#8220;mistake&#8221; is made.</p>
<p>I hope you see where I am coming from.  But I also want to tell you where I am going, i.e., if we are concerned with climate change, and we are not comfortable with nuclear power, where do we turn to to meet our energy demands?</p>
<p>I agree that we must keep a large array of options.  However, I think it just makes sense to exhaust everything we can do with renewable energy (wind, solar and hydro) before choosing an option that requires some sort of fuel.</p>
<p>So how do we make progress?  I would start right here in New York State and offer a generous program of incentives for solar and wind energy.  I would like to see small generation systems, all tied to the grid, all over the state.  These systems could be installed at homes, farms, businesses, and wherever else makes sense.  I would make sure that federal incentives also become available to assure that such systems will spread like wildflowers.  Just think of the jobs we can create in building and maintaining these systems.</p>
<p>New York can become the greenest state in the country.  We already have a leg up because of our unusually high level of hydro power.  We should capitalize on this and show the rest of the country that we can grow responsibly and leave a better future for our children and grand children.</p>

<description><![CDATA[From today&#8217;s Vancouver Sun, an opinion from Patrick Moore, one of the founders of environmenta]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From today&#8217;s <em>Vancouver Sun</em>, an opinion from Patrick Moore, one of the founders of environmental group, Greenpeace.</p>
<p>Hair short now, and a little grey, he realizes a number of the beliefs his organization held, and evolved, are not correct. Here is what he believes today, some of which has relevance to Ontario&#8217;s incredible rush to wind energy development, to the detriment of Ontario&#8217;s rural communities.</p>
<div>
<p>I believe:</p>
<p>- We should be growing more trees and using more wood, not cutting fewer trees and using less wood as Greenpeace and its allies contend. Wood is the most important renewable material and energy resource.</p>
<p>- Those countries that have reserves of potential hydroelectric energy should build the dams required to deliver that energy. There is nothing wrong with creating more lakes in this world.</p>
<p>- Nuclear energy is essential for our future energy supply, especially if we wish to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. It has proven to be clean safe, reliable, and cost-effective.</p>
<p>- Geothermal heat pumps, which too few people know about, are far more important and cost-effective than either solar panels or wind mills as a source of renewable energy. They should be required in all new buildings unless there is a good reason to use some other technology for heating, cooling, and making hot water.</p>
<p>- The most effective way to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels is to encourage the development of technologies that require less or no fossil fuels to operate. Electric cars, heat pumps, nuclear and hydroelectric energy, and biofuels are the answer, not cumbersome regulatory systems that stifle economic activity.</p>
<p>- Genetic science, including genetic engineering, will improve nutrition and end malnutrition, improve crop yields, reduce the environmental impact of farming, and make people and the environment healthier.</p>
<p>- Many activist campaigns designed to make us fear useful chemicals are based on misinformation and unwarranted fear.</p>
<p>- Aquaculture, including salmon and shrimp farming, will be one of our most important future sources of healthy food. It will also take pressure off depleted wild fish stocks and will employ millions of people productively.</p>
<p>- There is no cause for alarm about climate change. The climate is always changing. Some of the proposed &#8220;solutions&#8221; would be far worse than any imaginable consequence of global warming, which will likely be mostly positive. Cooling is what we should fear.</p>
<p>- Poverty is the worst environmental problem. Wealth and urbanization will stabilize the human population. Agriculture should be mechanized throughout the developing world. Disease and malnutrition can be largely eliminated by the application of modern technology. Health care, sanitation, literacy and electrification should be provided to everyone.</p>
<p>- No whale or dolphin should be killed or captured anywhere, ever. This is one of my few religious beliefs. They are the only species on earth whose brains are larger than ours and it is impossible to kill or capture them humanely.</p>
<p>Dr. Patrick Moore is a co-founder and former leader of Greenpeace and chair and chief scientist of Greenspirit Strategies Ltd. in Vancouver. His new book, <em>Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout: The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist</em>, is available at <a href="http://www.beattystreetpublishing.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.beattystreetpublishing.com</a></p>
