Solar Electric Links

Sky Power Systems is proud to offer you these additional fun, thought-provoking, educational and interesting sites -- enjoy!

Apollo Alliance -- the Apollo Alliance is a recent movement to promote and actively lobby for a national effort, funded by the Federal Government, to focus the effort and fund the research into alternative energy technologies in much the same way that NASA was chartered to place a person on the moon within the decade of the 1960's, so that one day in our own future, we will find ourselves no longer slaves to the petroleum being bought from the Middle East with money, blood and other treasure too costly to maintain.

National Electric Power Plant Air Pollution Locater -- this link takes you to a highly educational site where you can drill down throughout the US to each state and see just what kind of power plants are in operation there, what fuel (natural gas, coal, oil, nuclear) they use, how old they are, and how much pollution they generate, as well as how many deaths per year can be attributed to their existance and operation.

US Department of Energy Photovoltaic Energy program -- this site is the gateway into the various efforts underway (even in this current administration) to promote the development, design and deployment of solar electric energy generation throughout the US.

Mainstay Energy -- one of several companies providing "pure broker" capabilities between sellers and buyers of Renewable Energy Credits, aka RECs or "Green Tags"; unfortunately, Californians in public utility territories (PG&E, for example) are (unlike owners of solar electric systems in the other 49 states) not clear title holders of the Green Tags that their systems generate year-round in addition to the pollution-free megaWatt hours, but if they were, they could sell those Green Tags to eager buyers through outfits like Mainstay at prices as high as $40 per megaWatt hour (4 cents per kWh per year) -- at prices like that, close to half the remaining cost of a residential solar electric system could be paid for with the revenue generated by those Green Tags. If you want that to change, please contact the California Public Utilities Commission at www.cpuc.ca.gov and tell them what you think of their preliminary decision to "hand over" the title of those Green Tags to PG&E and other public utilities without formal voter approval.

Energy for Keeps: Electricity from Renewable Energy

Stuart Energy -- a leading design, development, deployment and marketing force in the field of solar electric-powered hydrogen gas generators (called electrolyzers -- they "crack" the water molecule into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas by passing electricity through it) and hydrogen gas storage tank technology to allow the hydrogen gas creation, indefinite hydrogen gas storage and safe hydrogen gas transport infrastructure to become a reality.

Ballard Power Systems -- the leading company in the development of high-efficency, low-cost, hydrogen gas-powered fuel cell engines that can take hydrogen gas and transform it into electricity (with water vapor as the only emission by-product) on demand to run automobile engines or power your home or business, 24/7/365 -- when coupled to hydrogen gas generation technology from companies like Stuart, we achieve a 100% pollution free and (with the help of the Apollo Alliance) cost-effective means of generating energy for homes, businesses and transportation that is portable, reliable, safe and free from foreign oil.

Fuel Cell Store -- Please visit this intriguing company's web site (the company is based in Boulder, Colorado) to learn about, and even purchase the latest in hydrogen fuel cell and hydrogen generation equipment for experimentation or personal use.
