Google Taps Artificial Intelligence to Aid with Renewable Energy
Google continues to expand their presence in the renewable energy sector with a recent announcement of going to 100% renewable energy by 2017. Amazon and Google are both making major progress within clean energy development. In Google's case, they are using DeepMind, a United Kingdom form of technology, that uses artificial intelligence to solve problems. The Guardian reported: “We are convinced this is good for business, this is not about greenwashing. This is about locking in prices for us in the long term. Increasingly, renewable energy is the lowest cost option,” said Marc Oman, EU energy lead at Google.
The Donald Trump Transition Takes Steps in the Right Direction
The Donald Trump transition continues to reshape the political structure of the United States. He has made suggestions for a tax plan that would put a 35% tax on businesses that hire staff outside of the country for lower wages. I strongly back raising taxes on everyone to help get our country out of debt. Another strong suggestion for the Donald Trump transition team is to raise taxes early in his presidency, and turn the tables on the mainstream media. Deep down, I truly believe Trump wants to help this country grow. It doesn't make any sense for him
Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Announced Dakota Access Pipeline to be Rerouted
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has announced today on Twitter that the Dakota Access Pipeline will not run under Lake Oahe as proposed, and the Army Corp of Engineers will be looking for additional routes to run the pipeline. For those unfamiliar with Lake Oahe, it is a large reservoir behind the Oahe Dam on the Missouri River. The Missouri River is the longest river in the Untied States. If the pipeline had gone under the lake, or if it gets close to a main river, it could still pollute drinking water. Not all pipelines malfunction, but enough of them do to create
AWS re:Invent 2016 Showcases the Future of Cloud Computing in Las Vegas
Amazon Web Services re:Invent 2016 took place from November 28 - December 2 throughout downtown Las Vegas. This year the event celebrated their firth year as an interactive conference. 50,000 people joined the live stream from re:Invent 2016. Close to a hundred thousand people will engage with re:Invent in 2016. This trend will continue with more people looking to build skills in the technology industry. We have covered AWS re:Invent for a second year now off-site. I see our company covering more tech conferences in the upcoming future onsite. With the online information available, I have been able to
The Standing Rock Native American Reservation has Become the Epicenter of the Environment
The Army Corps of Engineers sent a letter on Friday to the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe explaining that the violent confrontations have taken place, and they are shutting down the campgrounds, (area north of the Cannonball River, including the Oceti Sakowin camp). After December 5, protestors will be cited and charged with trespassing if still on the land. The trespassing citation is just a way for government to try and clear some of the land for the oil companies to dig under the Missouri River. According to standingrock.org, the website notes that: 'The tribe maintains jurisdiction on all reservation
Solar Power Running the Island of Ta’u in American Samoa
Tesla Motors and SolarCity has invested 5,300+ solar panels and 60 Tesla Powerpacks on the South Pacific Island known as Ta’u. The island of Ta’u has a population of a little over 55,000 people. The island is now being ran on 100% renewable energy. The power is transferred from the solar panels to Tesla Powerpacks where they can store up to 6 Megawatt hours of storage. With the Powerpacks ability to store energy, the island can go three days without sun, and still have enough power in the reserves to fuel the demand from the community. Fortune recently covered Telsa's progression in renewable energy
Five New Solar Power Projects in Virginia Fueled by Amazon Web Services
Amazon, the Seattle-based technology company, steamrolls through the negativity of the past election, right through climate change, and arrives in Virgina to change the world with five new solar farms. When Amazon created two wind farms in Ohio, I was excited, but to see them work directly with the eastern seaboard is an exciting piece of progression behind the clean energy movement. This level of progression is summerized by Amazon and Business Wire: 'By supporting 260MW of solar generation capacity in Virginia, Amazonbecomes the largest corporate backer of solar projects east of the Mississippi River.' They also spoke with Governor
How Climate Will Change during the Donald Trump Era
Donald Trump is currently in a state of transition after claiming the presidency during the 2016 election. "The (DEP) Department of Environmental is killing us environmentally." - Donald Trump (04/2016) That quote summarizes the amount of time and energy Trump has spent learning about different departments of the government. Or it is him playing dumb about a topic he knows about well, but doesn't want to appear knowledgeable. What he meant to say, possibly, is the (EPD) the Environmental Protection Department limits corporations to generate revenue with regulations. One of the positive elements to Trump's environment plan is his
Donald Trump has been Elected as the 45th President of the United States
Election 2016 has been by far the most dysfunctional presidential election in recent history. After the election, it is only fitting to have a former reality television star become the 45th President of the United States following months of abusive language. NPR and the New York Times have both reported that Donald Trump has secured enough votes to become elected the next president. The most damaging effects will come from his tax plan, (which will lower the business tax rate from 35 percent to 15 percent, once again showing the world that the trickle down system does not work) his
Amazon Adds their Fifth Renewable Energy Project in Ohio
Amazon Web Services recently announced that Wind Farm US Central 2 will be constructed in Hardin County, Ohio. This marks the fifth renewable energy project by Amazon. The company plans to produce 530,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of wind energy annually starting in December 2017. As one of the largest companies in the United States, Amazon is stepping up to properly provide energy to their services. The company and Business Wire has stated: 'In November 2014, AWS shared its long-term commitment to achieve 100 percent renewable energy usage for the global AWS infrastructure footprint. Ambitious sustainability initiatives over the last 18-24 months
