Clean Energy Deployment Administration Amendment to House Climate and Energy Bill is Significant Milestone in the Future of Green Energy Sector

There's a nice press release from the Coalition for Green Bank:

"The Coalition for Green Bank applauded the amendment to the House energy and climate bill, the American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454), that would create a Clean Energy Deployment Administration within the Energy Department."

Given the importance of Clean Energy in the new administration of Alternative Energy sources, this only makes sense.

Consider what I've said about this issue and consideration of the future of solar power in the United States you can find it on my site: MitchellDong.com

World's largest solar-thermal plant planned for Arizona land sold by Rhodes - Business - ReviewJournal.com

KINGMAN, Ariz. -- A Tempe-based firm intends to build and operate what it says will be the world's largest solar-thermal power plant on land in northwest Arizona that it has acquired from Las Vegas developer Jim Rhodes.

Mohave Sun Power LLC will later complete the purchase of the 4,160 acres 27 miles north of Kingman if it obtains the required permits and approval at the federal, state and local level, project director Greg Bartlett said.

Construction should begin late next year, providing up to 1,500 jobs, he said. More than 100 people would staff the plant during initial operation, forecast for late 2013.

Mohave Sun Power Executive Director Mitchell Dong said six square miles of parabolic mirrors will be built to harness the sun at a facility that will generate 340 megawatts of electricity.

Pretty impressive:

Mitchell Dong, the company's CEO explained the technology, "It's a parabolic trough, or a 'U'-shaped mirror that reflects or concentrates the sunlight by a factor of 100 to this thin tube of transfer fluid. In this case, it's a synthetic oil heated to 800 degrees by the sun's light. There are rows and rows of these collectors and this 800 degree oil is pumped to a central power block, a central location where that hot oil goes to a boiler. It makes steam and drives a single steam turbine. Of course the whole installation would use many arrays of parabolic troughs.

Energy generated by the plant would be purchased by California, Nevada, Arizona and Colorado. If the planning and construction processes go smoothly the plant could starting producing electricity by 2013. The planning actually has been going on for some time: "We have been working on this for over a year," said Mohave County Supervisor Buster Johnson. (Mohave County has already had a different 200 MW project planned for construction.) This larger one will depend upon federal stimulus money for financing.

If approved and funded, the project could generate an estimated 1,500 jobs during the construction phase, and require 100 employees when operational. Such a large plant would also generate local tax revenues. Construction cost is estimated at two billion dollars.
