This site partially shows what is being done in the technological domain to keep floating the environmental struggle which is actually in jeopardy. Environment protection is highly related to the creation of renewanle energy and this blog is dedicated to see the evolution of the replacement of fossil fuels by alternate and clean energies.
Le but de ce blog est de présenter en partie ce qui se fait dans les domaines technologiques pour raviver cette lutte pour l'environnement que l'on croyait gagnée mais certains détracteurs ont pu crér le doute dans l'esprit des gens. La protection de l'environnrmrnt est alliée intimement à la création d'énergies renouvelables et ce blog a pour objectif d'informer ur tout ce qui touche au remplacement progressif de l'énergie fossile qui dans un avenir rapproché ne sera plus dispomible. Il est temps de penser sérieusement à l'avenir de notre planète

Wind power generated 47% of the renewable power, small hydro-electric 20%, geothermal 22%, solar 1%

Achieving a major clean-air goal ahead of state targets, the DWP generated 20 percent of its power in 2010 through wind, water, solar and geothermal systems, city officials announced Thursday.
"This is a big deal," Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said at a City Hall news conference with environmental leaders. "When we set this goal in 2005, the DWP was the dirtiest utility in the nation. Today, it's the cleanest and we have been able to do it at a cost lower than any other utility in California."
In 2005, the Department of Water and Power generated roughly 5 percent of its energy from renewable sources. Last year, however, that surged to a high of 28 percent for a short time.
"When I set the goal in 2005, no one thought it could be done," Villaraigosa said. "The state had a goal of 20 percent by 2015. We were able to achieve that this year."
The key to achieving the goal, officials said, was the development of the Pine Tree Wind Farm in Mojave and the purchase of the Milford Wind Farm in Utah
