Story Archives of 'Renewable Energy'Planned Renewable Power Projects in the North Need New Transmission LinesBy David Darman on Monday, June 2, 2008.Governor Lynch signed a bill last year requiring 25% of the state's energy come from renewable sources by 2025. Since then several companies have proposed building renewable energy projects in the North Country. But the transmission system that brings the power to the southern part of the state is already near capacity. Lawmakers, regulators and the energy companies are looking for ways to build a new, more modern system. But construction can't start until they decide who should pay the estimated 200 million dollars to build it. New Hampshire Public Radio's David Darman has more. listen:

Tapping the Energy of the TidesBy Amy Quinton on Friday, July 13, 2007.Concerns over global warming have scientists and engineers looking for cleaner alternative sources of energy. One of those alternatives gaining momentum involves harnessing the energy of the ocean. Renewable energy experts say in theory, energy from tides, currents and waves could double the hydropower output in the U.S., producing 20-percent of the nation's electricity. But the technology to capture this renewable energy is in its infancy. NHPR's Amy Quinton reports on the effort in New Hampshire's seacoast to tap the power of the tides. listen:
New Law's Solar Energy Requirement Sets PSNH on EdgeBy David Darman on Thursday, June 21, 2007.New Hampshire’s new Renewable Portfolio Energy law requires utilities begin buying power from renewable sources starting next year. Eventually that power could come from wind, biomass or hydro sources. It also requires solar energy to be part of the renewable total. The state’s largest utility says the solar goal is probably unrealistic. But state officials, environmentalists and the solar industry disagree.

Who Can Get There Most CheaplyBy Sara Nics on Tuesday, June 19, 2007.About 40,000 vehicles a year drive to the top of Mount Washington via the auto road. In these days of $3 a gallon gasoline, that pretty view is getting more and more expensive. But last weekend. the alternative vehicle regatta met at the mountain and held a competition to see who could get the cheapest view from the summit. Maine Public Radio's Sara Nics files this report. listen:
Legislators Hear From Climate Change ExpertsBy Amy Quinton on Monday, January 29, 2007.New Hampshire lawmakers heard testimony today from a panel of scientists on future climate change. The scientists recently released a two year study that looked at global warming in the Northeast. As New Hampshire Public Radio’s Amy Quinton reports, even the most conservative projections show that New Hampshire’s economy could suffer if heat-trapping emissions are not reduced. listen:
UNH May Use Renewable Energy Source To Power CampusBy Amy Quinton on Monday, December 4, 2006.UNH may soon begin using a renewable energy source to power its campus. Plans are in the works to build a pipeline to pump methane gas from a landfill in Rochester to Durham. University officials say the project would not only cut down on greenhouse gas emissions, but save UNH millions of dollars in the long run. New Hampshire Public Radio’s Amy Quinton reports. listen:

Energy Bill Not Likely to Win NH SupportBy Judith Smelser on Monday, November 17, 2003.After weeks of negotiations, a massive overhaul of US energy policy is ready for a final vote in Congress. But the sprawling energy bill is unlikely to have the support of anyone in the New Hampshire delegation. Among other things, the measure would nullify the state's lawsuit against the makers of the gasoline additive MTBE. NHPR's Washington Correspondent Judith Smelser reports. listen:
