Engineering Society of Detroit Conference on Alternative Energy
03/09/10
The ESD, the acronym for the Engineering Society of Detroit, is now 115 years old and it remains an august institution in the City of Detroit. Once housed in a magnificent marble building next to the Detroit Institute of the Arts it is an encompassing institution that holds many fine conferences on Engineering developments and Issues. Their recent conference held on March 3rd on Alternative Energy was something of a rousing affair, which we do indeed need since Michigan has been hardest hit in this recent Economic turn-down.

Publish Your Story at AltEnergyMag
We're changing the way we distribute stories in order to spread the word faster. From now on we'll publish new articles every week or so. The process is very simple. Just email the article (news@altenergymag.com) along with any diagrams, photos etc. that you wish to have included. Length is not restricted. We do all the formatting and title graphics etc. and then let you preview the finished product before it goes live.  Biographies and company links can also be included.

Please bear in mind that we seek educational articles focusing on the technologies and benefits to readers rather than simple product cut sheets and promotional material.

As soon as you send the article we will get it ready and send you a link to preview before it goes live. It will go online (on the home page) as soon as we receive approval and stay in our library forever. It will still be included in our bimonthly eMagazine which is a compilation of recent articles and may be featured in this newsletter.

DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions portfolio of PV materials is key to crystalline silicon and thin film solar cell and module manufacturing. Our products help increase the efficiency and lifetime of solar modules.

>>> Hot Story
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) unveiled the first U.S. National Broadband Plan on Tuesday morning. And — what we’re particularly interested in — there’s an entire chapter on Energy and the Environment (Chapter 12, Page 245). The National Broadband Plan looks at how broadband can be used to build out a smarter power grid, make information technology more efficient and make transportation cleaner. Some recommendations include: States should reduce impediments and financial disincentives to using commercial service providers for Smart Grid communications. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC ) should start a proceeding to explore the reliability and resiliency of commercial broadband communications networks. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and the FCC should continue their joint efforts to identify new uses for federal spectrum and should consider the requirements of the Smart Grid. Congress should consider amending the Communications Act to enable utilities to use the proposed public safety 700 MHz wireless broadband network.>>> more hot stories
