| Oregon Set To Adopt Renewable Portfolio Standard of 25 Percent by 2025 | |
| The Oregon Legislature has sent a strong signal that Oregon is serious about being a leader in renewable energy by passing one of the most ambitious renewable energy laws in the nation, the Oregon Renewable Energy Act (OREA). Governor Ted Kulongoski, the driving force behind the OREA, is expected to soon sign the legislation. The OREA requires large utilities to provide at least 25 percent of their electricity from renewable energy sources by 2025. These requirements will be phased in, beginning at 5 percent in 2011. All utilities with retail electricity sales equal to or greater than 3 percent of the statewide total load are subject to the "25 by 25" requirements. Smaller utilities will be subject to more relaxed standards for renewable energy sales. Electricity service suppliers (ESSes) must comply with the requirements applicable to the utilities where the ESS`s customers are located. |

| Novel Sugar-to-Hydrogen Technology in Development | |
| Using hydrogen as a fuel source has considerable appeal, but production, storage and distribution are problematic. Now, researchers at Virginia Tech, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and the University of Georgia propose using polysaccharides, or sugary carbohydrates, from biomass to directly produce low-cost hydrogen. |

| Cats More Lethal to Birds Than Wind Turbines | |
| It takes 30-plus turbines to reach a kill rate of one bird per year. However you look at it, though, birds in the United States seem to die in turbine blades at a rate no higher than 40,000 a year. Deaths by dastardly domestic felines, on the other hand, number in the "hundreds of millions." One less reason not to consider wind. |
