Loans to Small Bunsinesses Opening Up

In mid-October, President Obama moved to raise the amount of credit extended to small businesses.

It would also raise loan caps on some Small Business Administration (SBA) programs. To qualify, the banks would have to show how they would increase lending to small enterprises.

We Need Onsite Energy Storage and Smaller Transmission Lines

Ill Wind Blows Over Storage Market When it comes to discussing the "need" for storage to supplement intermittent wind energy, industry professionals are of two very different minds.

By contrast, many energy insiders say storage could make the business case for wind even stronger. Objective analysis indicates that while need may be too strong of a word, in many cases storage would greatly benefit wind. The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), has taken a firm position against storage, especially onsite at wind generation facilities . According to the recent Pike Research report by David Link entitled Energy Storage Technology Markets, "...The association’s official position is that storage systems are not required to integrate wind energy into electric powe...
