WASHINGTON -- A powerful lobbying coalition is campaigning to require more electricity to come from renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and geothermal. But the effort hasn't gotten any traction in the Senate this year, despite the push by environmental groups, renewable energy providers, more than half the nation's governors and even some utilities.
In December 2007, the Imperial Beach Redevelopment Agency and City Council approved the Clean and Green Program. The program provides a grant up to $30,000 for energy efficiency and water conservation improvement projects.

The goal of the Clean and Green Program is to partner with homeowners in an effort to reduce their energy and water bills.

The world must prepare for the next energy boom, officials meeting this week in Montreal said, as long-range forecasts that demand will surge eclipse concern that the pace of the global economic recovery is slowing.
Growth in the clean technology sector, from solar power and home weatherization to water management and energy engineering, holds great promise for new areas of employment as existing companies focus in on green issues, new startups enter the marketplace and federal stimulus funds become available.
When business owners consider strategies to increase energy efficiency and lower utility costs, they look for the sweet spots where actions that shrink their company’s consumption also lead to boosting the bottom line. Insights into how to turn smart energy decisions into smart business practices will be offered during the Clean Energy Conference on Thursday at the San Diego Convention Center.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Geoff Greene saw the power of water currents up close 15 years ago, when a 25-foot boat he was riding in the Mississippi River was nearly dragged underwater when its anchor snagged on the bottom and pulled down on the back of the vessel.
LONG BEACH, California -- Government officials from around the world used to come to this port city to catch a glimpse of the future: Two-story piles of trash would disappear into a furnace and eventually be transformed into electricity to power thousands of homes.
Efficient, clean, renewable energy continues to be a bright spot in an otherwise dreary national economy, and understanding what the integration of new energy policies and technologies will mean and where the opportunities are for businesses in San Diego has never been more important.
