Hope for Faster Permitting in Siting Transmission Corridors
The federal government took steps recently to speed up the approval process for electricity transmission lines. Or at least, to speed up the permitting on federal lands. An agreement between the White House and eight federal agencies puts one agency in charge of the cumbersome process of approving transmission...

Spreading Smart Grid Across North America
As evidence of NEMA's continued influence in international markets, the Commerce Department announced this week that our organization received one of five new Market Development Cooperator Program (MDCP) awards for 2010-2013. This is NEMA's second MDCP award from Commerce -- the first, which...

Where in the World is Smart Metering?
Headlines involving smart metering seem to have been multiplying in the last few months, including projects that involve NEMA members (recent press releases here , here , and here ). To see an interesting visual representation of metering initiatives on a global scale, check out this Google map: http...

Going BANANAs
The energy industry in this country has long struggled to find suitable locations for plants and resource development. That's because for decades they've faced NIMBY -- community activists who put up roadblocks to ensure such efforts were "Not In My Back Yard." But the politics of the...

PEV's Are Coming But . . . Lots of Questions to Answer
Everyday I read something new and interesting about some form of electric vehicle. Hybrid electric, Plug in hybrid electric, Plug In electric, etc. While they're all using different technologies, the one thing they all seem to have in common is that they are still pretty much in the prototype stage...

Where Do You Plug-in Your Electric Vehicle?
Plug-in vehicles, either hybrid or all electrical, are just around the corner. The big question is how are they going to be recharged? The answer depends a lot on who you are asking. In the US the most significant effort is made by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE International). A number of...

Low Hanging Sustainability Fruit: Energy Efficiency
Energy consumption is by far the low hanging fruit on the sustainability tree. Since, according to Energy Information Administration, a whopping 65% of the energy produced by mostly non-renewable sources is lost in conversion processes, it stands to reason to look closer at these conversions and develop...

GPS and the Grid: The New Weakest Link?
By 2010, the GAO predicts that the probability of maintaining at least 24 satellites may dip below 95%, the service quality standard set by the Air Force. Due to development delays, the current constellation of GPS satellites may begin to fail before new satellites are ready for launch. Normally, this...
