Saw Blades
There are many different types of saw blades, each of which is designed for a particular cut. While combination blades do provide some of the advantages of the different types of blades, even the best combination blade cannot cut better than the right blade for the job. Learn the different types of saw blades to select the right one for your woodworking project.

The Climate Bill is dead. Comprehensive action on energy and climate change issues is not likely to come from the federal government any time soon. One of the oft-repeated opposition mantras is that times are too tough to think about climate action ? and the costs that curbing emissions might impose would heavily impact those who can afford additional costs the least.

Do Solar Panels Work During Rain Storms?
If there is a power outage, then solar panels still work because they are designed to collect the sunlight and turn it into energy. This energy is stored in the panels. What are these panels called?

Mixed Signals & Federal Funding for Alternative Energy Research
There have definitely been some mixed signals on alternative energy research recently. At the same time President Bush's State of the Union address called for a 22 percent increase in federal spending to develop alternative energies, dozens of staffers and contractors for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado, were being laid off.
The disconnect was a political embarrassment for the president, so federal officials restored the laboratory's funding, rehiring the workers who had been laid off just in time for President Bush?s scheduled speech at the NREL.
In his speech the President acknowledged the confusion, ?I recognize that there has been some interesting mixed signals when it comes to funding," President Bush said.
This comes at a time when a new national public opinion survey demonstrates overwhelming public support in the United States for government policies and investments that will support development of alternative energy sources. The survey of 1,000 registered voters was conducted by Public Opinion Strategies of Alexandria, VA, for the Energy Future Coalition. The survey?s findings included:
According to the survery there is nearly unanimous support for a national goal of having 25% of the United States domestic energy needs met by alternative energy by the year 2025. Ninety-eight percent of voters see this goal as important for the country, and three out of four (74%) feel that it is "very important." Ninety percent of voters believe this goal is achievable.
Similar majorities support government action to encourage greater use of renewable energy. Eighty-eight percent of voters favor financial incentives, and 92% support minimum government standards for the use of renewable energy by the private sector.
Nearly all voters (98%) say the costs, such as the cost of research and development and the cost of building new renewable energy production facilities, would be worth it to get the United States to the 25% by 2025 goal.
Voters consider energy to be an important issue facing the country, rating it similarly with health care, terrorism and national security, and education, and ahead of taxes and the war in Iraq. Half (50%) of voters believe America is headed for an energy crisis in the future, and 35% believe the country already is facing a crisis.
So just how much is the United States government spending on alternative energy research? After the 22% increase the budget will stand at $771 million. This amounts to less than one percent of the $55,000 million the federal government spends annually on research, nearly half of which is devoted to healthcare.
It?s time for action.

Researchers aim to harvest solar energy from pavement to melt ice, power streetlights
The heat radiating off roadways has long been a factor in explaining why city temperatures are often considerably warmer than nearby suburban or rural areas. Now a team of engineering researchers is examining methods of harvesting that solar energy to melt ice, power streetlights, illuminate signs, heat buildings and potentially use it for many other purposes.

Video on Solar Roof Panels and PV Power
I chanced upon a Google Tech Talks Channel on YouTube - my first time. And interestingly, it discussed about solar energy, PV power, solar electrical power and solar roof panels and how to install them. It is a very interesting piece, and thorough and comprehensive at that. The video largely talks about the benefits and advantages of solar energy and solar roof panels and other sun-powered gadgets and devices. It is a great resource when one can employ when wanting to educate people about the many uses of this significant alternative source of power. The video likewise discusses on how the solar technology is a growing market and how one can benefit by selling excess power back to the local utility that one's gadgets can produce. It is quite long, more like a forum on video. Nonetheless because of the interesting topic as well as the Talk's effective speaker, it is very engaging to watch.

Speech by Chris Huhne, UK Energy and Climate Change Secretary, COP 16 Plenary Statement, Cancun
Wednesday 8 December
Check against delivery
Expected 19.30UK time
Thank you, madam President.
This meeting matters.
The pattern of extreme weather events is alarming. In Britain, our insurers paid out £4.5 billion in flood damage in the last ten years compared with £1.5 billion in the previous ten years. This is a warning of worse to come.
I want high ambition. I want a legally binding global deal to keep global temperature increase at 2 degrees or less.
We must be guided by the science, and the science has become more worrying, not less. As the UNEP report on the emissions gap makes clear, together we are not yet even promising enough, let alone doing it.
But we can do it.
There is a willingness to make progress here.
But with just two days to go, we’re reaching a crunch point.
Let me be clear: a car crash of a summit is in no one’s interest.
The answer has to be compromise. We cannot do everything here. But we can make progress on mitigation, deforestation, adaptation, finance, reporting and more. And restore momentum to the global process. Concrete steps to the treaty we want.
We believe that the future of the Kyoto Protocol is vital to the success of this process.
But Kyoto alone is not enough to protect us from a temperature rise of more than 2 degrees.
Along with the EU, we want a second commitment period as part of a wider outcome engaging all major economies, and as long as concerns around environmental integrity are met.
In the UK, we are working hard to meet ambitious emissions reduction and renewable energy targets. A new energy-saving programme. Electricity market reform for green energy. The world’s largest clean coal plant. A Green Investment Bank. And more ambition with our EU partners for bigger emission cuts.
We have committed £2.9 billion of climate finance over the next four years to help developing countries tackle climate change. We have fulfilled our Fast Start pledge and are fully committed to the long term goal of $100 billion a year in climate finance by 2020.
Agreement here on the key issues would send a message from Cancun. A global deal on climate change is not an impossible dream. Let’s do it.

Arizona Solar Rebate Reduced by ACC, Still one of the Best in the Nation
With a large number of applications for its solar photovoltaic (PV) rebate program in Arizona, Tucson Electric Power (TEP) in July filed a request with state regulators to reduce the per-watt amount on offer. On August 25, the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) approved the request, making the rebate reduction effective retroactively from August 11.
The lower per-watt solar rebate will enable TEP to keep the incentive program funded through the end of the year. Originally, the rebate program for PV residential systems stood at $3.00 per watt. After the reduction, the rebate now stands at $2.00 per watt. The rebate for PV commercial systems when the program began was $2.50 per watt. Now, the rebate for such systems is $1.75 per watt, and will soon be reduced to $1.50 per watt.
Second, the cost of installing solar PV in Arizona has come down considerably over the past 18 months. Because home solar electric systems cost relatively less, the amount of incentive dollars available to promote the adoption of solar power should likewise be brought down.
Even at the new level, Tuscon solar rebates still represent a great deal when compared to rebate programs in many other parts of the country.
There is a maximum incentive for the Arizona solar rebate. When it comes to residential solar power systems, for instance, the rebates only apply to the first 20 kilowatts (kW). You can find Arizona Solar Installation information here.

How to Handle Broken Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs
 |
| Energy Star Chart |
The US government's Energy Star program qualifies compact fluorescent light bulbs through the manufacturers meeting Energy Star's guidelines and specifications.
There are safe ways to handle these CFLs that will prevent accidental dropping and breakage. Each compact fluorescent bulb contains a very small amount of Mercury. Mercury is extremely poisonous and harmful so learning what to do in case of a bulb breaking is important.
If a bulb breaks the first thing we're told to do is open the door to the room you're in for a few minutes and to keep it open even after clean up. In the cold Winter months that's a difficult thing to ask but the vapors produced by dropping the bulb are potentially damaging.
Here's tips for the general safe handling of these bulbs at the government's Energy Star site:
Learning about CFLs.
In addition if you scroll down to the bottom of this PDF you'll see instructions for the careful cleaning up of the broken bulb should yours drop:
How should I clean up a broken fluorescent bulb?
As you can see you never touch the contents of a dropped and shattered compact fluorescent light bulb with your bare hands. Advisable to wear gloves and put the debris in a sealed container. There are places that recycle CFLs so you might call one one your area and ask them the best way to handle the debris.
Here's a video from MSNBC illustrating the potential problems of dealing with the tiny bit of mercury contained in these bulbs:

Swimming Pool Solar Panels: Effectively Warms Your Pools
Everyone loves to use the swimming pool, having some water fun or simply floating around with your rubber raft on a hot lazy afternoon. Still, you want the water to be just at the right warm temperature. Definitely, whether you want a pool for relaxation, doing your swimming laps or for your overall health, a warm swimming pool simply means comfort. That?s why we can only thank the swimming pool solar panels , or solar swimming pool heaters for efficiently warming our pools, and enhancing the pleasure and enjoyment we get from them. A reliable solar heater warms the pool effectively, adding few more months to the swimming season, regardless of your location?s climate.
Image Credit: Sage
Swimming pool solar panels work simply. First of all is the solar pool panel installation. Next, the water is pumped from the pool into the solar panels. Next, the rays from the sun heats up the water that is stored in the panels. When the desired warm temperature is achieved, the water is then returned to your pool. Now it?s ready for swimming.
While the use of other heaters automatically means monthly bills for electric power, the power derived from swimming pool solar panels and heaters are free. Only a solar heater can provide you with a nice warm pool everyday with zero costs on your part. And approximately in just a year or two of using the heater means it have already paid for itself because of all the power savings that you enjoyed.
And by the way, while you are at it, one of the best ways to reduce loss of heat and hence lessen expenses on pool heating is by the use of solar pool cover. Pool covers very well compliment pool solar panels and so can be considered a wise purchase for your swimming pools.

SunEdison Secures $50 Million in Revolver Financing From Rabobank International for the Construction of Solar Deployments in the U.S.
"We are pleased to provide financing that enhances SunEdison's ability to execute on its significant pipeline of solar projects," said Ron Klein, a Managing Director with Rabobank's Renewable Energy Group. "This type of innovative, multi-project, non-recourse facility is possible because of SunEdison's successful track record and expertise. Additionally, it illustrates the maturity of the renewables industry and specifically the solar sector."
SunEdison will utilize the revolver to finance construction of photovoltaic power plants at client (host) locations. Upon completion, the solar hosts will buy the energy produced at prices at or below retail rates while avoiding upfront costs typically associated with solar deployments.
"SunEdison makes investing in solar a smart choice," said William Lee, SunEdison Vice President of Project Finance and Corporate Development. "With close to 250MW of solar deployed worldwide, SunEdison has the experience and know-how that project investors and customers trust. SunEdison looks forward to working with Rabobank as we continue to make solar a reality for our customers across the nation."
Currently sized at $50 million for U.S. projects, the construction revolver is expected to expand significantly over the life of the deal with the addition of more lenders. Projects will range in size from small commercial to utility scale.
"Over the past couple of years, financial institutions have become more comfortable with solar photovoltaic construction risk so we expect a number of parties to be interested in joining the facility," said Thomas Emmons, Head of Rabobank's Renewable Energy Group in New York.

How electricity units work
Energy, and electricity in particular, has several different units of measurement that can be more than a little difficult to understand.� Here is an easy-to-understand primer. Electricity has three basic units of measurement:
Power is the rate at which energy is generated and consumed and is measured in watts. Watts are the product of Voltage (volts) and Current (amps).
1,000 watts is one kilowatt, and 1 million watts is a megawatt.� California currently has 500 megawatts of solar power spread over 50,000 solar installations.
A watt-hour is equal to the work done by one watt acting for one hour. For example, a 100 W light bulb that is on for one hour uses 100 watt-hours (or 0.1 kilowatt hours). Your energy utility measures your use in kilowatt-hours.
One last term that is useful to know is ?load.? A ?load? is anything on the electrical circuit that draws power. Your refrigerator, TV, and electric toothbrush are all examples of loads.
- Voltage, measured in volts
- Current, measured in amps
- Resistance, measured in ohms

Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner
When working with soft, porous woods such as pine, fir, birch and maple, stains often are absorbed unevenly. This can leave a streaky, inconsistent finish. To help combat this problem, apply a pre-stain wood conditioner. Learn how this one extra step will yield much better results in your stained woodworking projects.
