Clean Energy Victory Bonds (CEVBs) are proposed U.S. Treasury bonds that will finance the production of innovative energy technologies in the US. At a time when we are facing record unemployment in the US and are falling behind other countries in the race to produce clean energy technologies, CEVBs will create 1.7 million jobs and position the US to be the leader in one of the fastest growing sectors in the world: clean energy. CEVBs will also create a secure energy future for all Americans, decreasing our reliance on foreign oil and utilizing energy sources that are free.

Why Victory Bonds?

During the First and Second World Wars, the US government sold bonds in order to finance the costs of war. These war bonds were dubbed “Victory Bonds” because of the crucial role they played in the war effort. In the spirit of patriotism and national sacrifice, Victory Bonds generated $185 billion during World War II (over $2 trillion in today’s dollars). They gave ordinary Americans ownership in the efforts of their military overseas and afforded individual and institutional investors access to a risk-free asset. We can learn from that experience.

From coal to nuclear to oil, no new energy source was ever developed without significant government funding. As the fossil-fuel driven economy falters, the need for an alternative path forward becomes ever more urgent.

Around the world countries are competing to develop and deploy the next generation of clean energy technologies at an astounding pace. China alone is investing up to $12 billion per month in its clean energy sector. Meanwhile American clean energy capacity languishes for lack of financing and companies are unable to develop cutting edge technologies or create employment for American citizens. Clean Energy Victory Bonds are designed to play a role akin to the Victory Bonds of wartime — to mobilize Americans towards the common goal of a globally competitive U.S. clean technology industry and, ultimately, a greener economy.

Wartime Victory Bonds often yielded interest rates lower than the going market rate, but Americans found them hugely popular as a way of investing in their collective future. Clean Energy Victory Bonds, however, will pay interest equal to or greater than the market interest rate on regular government bonds. Clean Energy Victory Bonds will provide a competitive government-backed investment vehicle that Americans will be excited to purchase, and a chance to invest in our collective future.

EnviroMission, Ltd. (www.enviromission.com.au; US Stock Market: EVOMY, Australian Stock Exchange: EVM) is a renewable energy developer of sustainable “green” energy solutions for the energy market. EnviroMission aims to be one of Australia’s leading producers of clean renewable energy. EnviroMission holds the proprietary rights to Solar Tower technology, a large-scale renewable energy technology based on simple fundamentals of physics — hot air rises. Solar Tower technology has the potential to offer competitive renewable energy with equal reliability to fossil fuel generators.

A single 200MW Solar Tower power station will provide enough electricity to power around 400,000 households. The energy output will represent an annual saving of more than 1,960,000 tonnes of greenhouse CO2 gases from entering the environment when compared to brown coal emissions in Victoria. The greenhouse savings equate to the removal of approximately 500,000 cars from the road. The Australian Solar Tower project consists of six distinct phases, the first two of which (project optimization and pre-feasibility commercialization) have already been completed. The third phase (final feasibility), paving the way for the implementation of the next three phases (final design, construction, and commercial operation).

Some people say transitioning to clean energy will simply cost too much – “leave it to future generations.” In Edinburgh, Scotland, Richard Alley explains that if we start soon the cost of the transformation could be similar to that which was paid for something none of us would want to do without – clean water and the modern sanitation system.

During the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, the USA network NBC (owned by General Electric – GE) broadcasted the games to the United States. According to NBC during these broadcast China was a magnificent land. It basically was a puff piece for China by GE / NBC.

GE through NBC pushes green energy as they produce green energy products. The NBC puff piece on China was an attempt to gain a favorable foot hold in the massive Chinese market.

Guess what? China was not moved by the puff piece and General Electric is angry at China for basically being blocked out of the China green energy market. China has proposed rules that would lead its government agencies to buy high-tech and other goods only from companies that develop the technologies in China. The plan is also to subsidize Chinese companies in industries such as clean energy.

Excellent example to GE and others, you can never trust a commie. To a commie you are nothing but a capitalistic pig. To the people in the USA you are just a pig. Oink, oink, and ha ha!

Visit – http://www.SolarStirlingPlants.net – The Stirling Engine is a simple heat exchange engine which was invented by Robert Stirling in 1816 as an alternative to steam engines. This engine works by utilizing compression and expansion of air at two different temperatures. At one end air is heated and while it is cooled down on the other end, which results in air expansion and compression at two ends causing the piston movement.

As Solar Power Generators
Stirling Engines are now used as solar renewable energy generators and the term is called as thermal solar technology. In this technology heat energy from the sun is utilized to run the engine to generate electricity. In practical use, a solar thermal engine has a large parabolic reflector which is known as solar dish, this dish is coated with silver coating or mirrors are used so that it can reflect sunlight into one focal point in the center where a Stirling engine is placed. Stirling engine receives this sunlight and converts this heat energy into mechanical energy to generate electricity. You will end up generating free and clean energy in the form of electricity.

Solar thermal technology is available as alternate energy for both residential and commercial use.

Residential Electricity Generation
As a residential consumer, you can simply buy a small size Stirling solar engine dish according to your requirements. For a small house you might go for a 1-2 Kw model and place it on your rooftop just like you install solar panels for solar power generation. Solar mounted dish will generate electricity during the day and excess electricity will be stored in batteries for night hours use. House owners will receive clean and free solar energy from the Sun. Residential solar technology is getting popular quickly because solar dishes covers less area as compared to solar panels.

Commercial Electricity Generation
On the other hand, commercial level solar thermal dish systems can be quite larger in size and can generate up to 25 kW or even higher. Commercial users simply buy a solar dish according to their electricity usage, as a small company you might end up buying couple of medium size solar dishes. On larger scale such as government, military or electricity generation for grid these dishes are place in the form of large arrays as giant heat collectors also called as solar farms and they create huge amount of clean electricity. The Worlds largest solar facility has 20,000-dish array, 4,500-acre of land and generates 850 MW.

For further reading on solar thermal technology please check http://www.SolarStirlingPlants.net in residential and commercial use.

One of the best way to understand this extremely simple heat engine is to purchase a small DIY Stirling engine model. For further reading and buying a model please check http://www.SolarStirlingPlants.net History and Basics.
