Solar Has A History

In 1836, John Etzler wrote a pamphlet titled: "The paradise within the reach of all men, without labour, by powers of nature and machinery: an address to all intelligent men."
In this pamphlet Mr. Etzler proposes "to build massive solar power plants that use mirrors to concentrate sunlight on boilers and mile-long wind farms." AES is pleased to provide access to a true and correct digital copy of the pamphlet. |

The Top-10 Issues To Watch In 2019
By AES Expert-Member FRANK MAISANO of Bracewell.
The Top-10 Issues To Watch In 2019
By AES Expert-Member FRANK MAISANO of Bracewell.
- House Democrats have a "climate" focus – As Democrats take control of the House of Representatives, it is clear that they will make climate change a priority issue.
- Discussions on the Green New Deal and Carbon Taxes – With Climate in the forefront, the new hot topic is what to do and the item du jour is the Green New Deal, a battle point between parties and also internally among Democrats.
- 2020 Presidential politics – With potential candidates like Elizabeth Warren, Jay Inslee and Michael Bloomberg announcing their Presidential aspirations, there is some early speculation that climate issues may rise above the usual din to make a splash in the 2020 race. However, don't be surprised if the climate issue fades away as the election gets near.
- HFC reductions go into effect, but the US hasn't committed – The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol will reduce the projected production and consumption of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) by more than 80% over the next 30 years. Republicans and Democrats support the Kigali Amendment.
- Energy Infrastructure Hits a Key Moment – Since oil prices (and gas prices) remain low and production remains high, many shale companies are considering slowing production, mainly because there is an infrastructure question.
- Ethanol, Ethanol, Ethanol – As if this fight would ever go away or into the background, 2019 will be another interesting year over the issue of ethanol.
- Nuclear Power at Vogtle, Finally – The first nuclear power plant units in the US are getting closer to completion despite all the challenges it has faced.
- Solar and wind continue to make an impact with utilities – The solar and wind industries will continue to make a strong move in the marketplace in 2019.
- Electric- and autonomous vehicle and CAFE fights are heating up – There is a burgeoning fight in the policy world over EVs, AVs, and our current oil-based transportation economy.
- Rightsizing or Rollbacks – Enviro activists call them roll backs, conservatives call it right-sizing; either way, the Obama Administration regulatory agenda will get a lot of attention from the current administration in the final two years of this first term.
