Comment/Question

As City Council will decide on the future energy mix
of AE, I am curious about costs associated with upgrades at FPP. Could
you please post answers to the following questions on
www.austinsmartenergy.com?
1. How much money has AE invested in emissions technology upgrades at
FPP and exactly what levels of reductions have been achieved?
2. What future investments in FPP does AE anticipate based on potential
federal legislation aimed at reducing levels of mercury and particulate
matter?

Comment

Please decrease the amount of fossil fuels (coal, gas)
and nuclear in Austin's energy mix and greatly increase the amount of
renewable energy (wind, solar, biomass). Also, please increase the
amount of conservation planned, and increase conservation incentives and
renewable energy incentives available to customers.

Please also consider energy conservation incentives for improvements
like reflective roofs like metal roofs.

Comment/Question:

I would like to learn solar energy from the roof up.

Is the city hiring any installers to do this this?

Comment: Please start phasing out coal as a generation source
and increase renewables as much as possible and gas as the non
intermitant choice

Press Release - Get to the Smart Energy Homeplug with
a waterproof ECYPH Ethernet link

Have the Smart Grid dogs in the hood been snapping at your tail? If so,
it's time to show them how you roll. Move up a position in your pack
when you get the Waterproof Homeplug 1.0 Ethernet link from ECYPH. When
the pups of the litter show up with a plastic box that they bought down
at Radio Shack, you get to smack down the bone-crushing NEMA-compliant
metal box and spoil their show. Lots of wannabes are talking big about
the new Smart Energy. Likely, they still can't make up their mind
whether they'll go with SE1 or SE2. With the PHP1-EWP from ECYPH LLC,
you get to sidestep this dilemna by sticking with the proven Homeplug
technology and leave the bridge-over to Smart Energy with a adapter from
the Alliance (Smart Energy Adapter sold separately.) For today's
project, you might go with SEP1 as it can be purchased today from
Freescale and others. And the best part is, you're not locked-in or
over-committed, because when the SE2 becomes available, you get to leave
the core of!
your solution in place and simply upgrade the adapter. When you go
with a rugged Homeplug 1.0 Ethernet link like this one, you're making
the right choice. Whether its in your garage, out in the shed, or back
in the barn, you won't be afraid of anything Mother Nature can throw at
you. And, you won't be afraid to turn around and put the other doggies
in their place.

Surf over to www.pcables.com and click on the Smart Energy Catalog link
to see the new PHP1-EWP.

Comment : solar energy plant versus energy produced from plasma incinerated garbage

Hello, I've been reading about using plasma to incinerate garbage, with the side product being energy. Has the city looked into this as a alternative to renting a solar plant? We're running out of space for landfills and with the plasma incineration, waste becomes a constantly renewable energy source. Thanks for your time.

Good Morning!

Thank you for the reply! The sun popped out briefly when I opened your message... and I'll take that as a good sign!

I am sure the hiring freeze will be over soon and the City back on its feet. I at least chose to make a mid-life career change and prepared for it... but it sure ended up being a bad time to make such a decision!
