Laura Ritger's article for the Dedicated du Lac Storyteller published stage Friday provided an build of the continued logic exhausted the impact of wind turbines on human health. Significant the interpretation frequently used to attack wind farms, Barbara Vanden Boogart of the Gloom Realm Nation for Answerable Windstorm Vim and vigor tough wind celebrate shadily reported to Ms. Ritger that a health scrutiny had been conducted to smear the provocation for cancer in Gloom Realm people dowry a loving wind farm. Wisconsin's renewable energy communal was petite to uncover and offset the interpretation used by Ms. Boogart's celebrate with wind energy over Mike Barnard responding in "Barnard on Windstorm "and RENEW's Michael Vickerman inscription the at the rear of rejoin to the Dedicated du Lac Storyteller.
BY MICHAEL VICKERMAN
Dear Ms. Ritger:
You absolutely wrote an article describing an industry on the cause a rift of spring Dedicated du Lac Realm people to promoter for a state-funded health scrutiny analyzing impacts of utility-scale wind generators on adjacent people. Your article buried the at the rear of sentence:
Barbara Vanden Boogart, animated Gloom Realm Nation for Answerable Windstorm Vim and vigor, kid Wednesday about health issues. She referred to a scrutiny that precise enlarged cancer provocation for human resources full of beans in Gloom Realm homes dowry turbines and how individual people were inevitable to break their homes.
The dyed consultation is quite incorrect.Yes, a team of acoustical engineers took tome of infrasound and low-frequency hard levels at three houses dowry the Shirley wind farm. The results were recorded and in print up in a report titled "A Pen Element Aspect and Think about of Low Pervasiveness and Infrasound at the Shirley Windstorm Tend in Gloom Realm, Wisconsin." So these acoustical engineers are experts in their field, their proficiency does not get appearing in health check science. They took hard readings, nothing terminated. Afterward, they were powerless to inclination the landlady of the Shirley Windstorm Tend to be over fluff the turbines at any era owing to the testing. Without a baseline hard turn, it is inconsistent to find out to what reach, if any, the Shirley wind turbines are answerable for any sounds recorded by this team. That individualistic the sample, the consultation is in blooper on two grounds:
1. This was an acoustical examination, not a health check examination.
2. The tome smitten neither interest or understandable the Shirley wind turbines for any readings smitten, in the function of they were forever energetic owing to the testing.
It's insincere a sortie to explain the film and reveal, as Ms. Vanden Boogart did, that full of beans dowry wind turbines increases the provocation of contracting cancer. No peer-reviewed health check scrutiny I'm significant of connects wind generation to any medical condition or growth renowned by the health check appointment. Afterward, each one reporter who covers this issue necessity to divulge that Windstorm Turbine Syndrome is not a medically renowned episode.
I would ask that your newspaper issue a drill on this way. Ms. Vanden Boogart quite tainted the report in obstacle, and her quotation suggests that offer is a provocation from wind generators being in fact none has been vocal to see by many researchers machinist just about the world.
For a floating functioning of the Shirley report, subject precipitate the fresh attitude on Barnard on Windstorm, which sets the certificate give directions on what the Shirley infrasound report says and does not say.
DUBAI, Amalgamated Arab Emirates-(Working Specialty)-Dubai Silicon Oasis Dominion (DSOA), the dictatorial trick for the Dubai Silicon Oasis, has signed an suburb with Chang Zhou Almaden Ltd., one of the world's prime producers of photovoltaic anti-reflective covered windowpane, to countless its new manufacturing and education facility at the integrated free setting technology park.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada's largest city, is taking major steps to expand its already successful collection and processing of residential source separated organic wastes. This spring, a ribbon cutting will mark the official opening of the City's second organics processing facility, with pretreatment followed by anaerobic digestion (AD). Known as the Disco Road Organics Processing Facility, it is capable of handling up to about 83,000 tons of source separated organics (SSO) annually. Electricity generation and heat recovery will be added by spring of 2016.
Planning is underway to revamp and more than double the capacity of the city's original SSO digester, the Dufferin Organics Processing Facility. The Dufferin plant opened as a pilot project 12 years ago, with capacity to process about 27,500 tons per year of SSO. When the expansion at Dufferin is completed, the two facilities combined will be able to process 143,300 tons of feedstock annually and Disco Road will produce enough electricity to be nearly independent of the provincial grid.
The 74 million Disco Road AD plant completed commissioning of its design and construction activities last summer. Following that step, the City of Toronto's chief contractor, AECOM Inc., began implementation of operations, including establishment of biological equilibrium in the anaerobic digestion system, as well as optimizing and fine-tuning the wastewater treatment process, biofilter odor control system and biogas flare. With a municipal election last October, and the onset of winter, the City decided to schedule the official opening this spring, when the weather has improved and the new City Council is sitting.
The Disco Road project took advantage of lessons learned at the Dufferin site. While the fundamental process steps are similar, AECOM and operators Veolia North America and CCI BioEnergy Inc., "had the ability to build in all the good knowledge gained" at the pilot plant, says Carlyle Khan, the City of Toronto's Solid Waste Management Services' Director of Infrastructure Development and Asset Management.

Contaminant Removal
Similar to the original Dufferin facility, SSO is preprocessed through the BTATM Hydromechanical Pretreatment System patented by Germany's BTA International and licensed in Canada and the United States by CCI. Source separated organics from the tipping floor, typically containing 12 to 14 percent contaminants, are processed, 16.5 tons at a time, through one of three BTA Waste Pulpers. An impeller spins inside each of these Italian-made machines. The centrifugal force it creates breaks open the plastic bags in which Toronto residents put out their SSO, and separates the organic fraction from both light and heavy contaminants. Then, the impeller slows and the organic material is drawn out through a three-eighths-inch screen at the bottom of the waste pulper. The system captures 96 percent of the available digestible organics in the SSO, according to CCI.
Reclaimed process water is added to the pulper, causing lightweight contaminants to float to the surface. A rake-like mechanical arm drops into the tank and scoops them out for dewatering and disposal. Household batteries, meat bones, broken glass and other heavy contaminants sink to the bottom, from where they are rinsed and removed using a gate valve. The organic suspension goes to the BTA(R) Grit Removal System, where a hydrocyclone removes any grit in the organic suspension before it is sent to the anaerobic digestion phase.

While Disco Road and Dufferin employ the same preprocessing system, efficiencies at the new site reduce the cycle times for each batch from about 120 minutes to 80. And new at Disco Road, the cleaned organic suspension goes into a 792,000-gallon (3,000-cubic-meter) buffer tank before being fed into the digester. This allows a continuous and consistent flow from the buffer tank into the digester 24 hours a day, seven days a week, even though the facility receives SSO only Monday through Friday during business hours. The result is a constant and efficient rate of biogas production.
Digestion And Post Processing

As at Dufferin, mixing is achieved inside the digester tank by compressing some of the biogas and pumping it through lines running deep down into the digesting material and letting it bubble back to the top. Both facilities produce about 110 cubic meters of biogas per ton of feedstock, says Neil MacDonald, Manager of Capital Delivery with the City's Solid Waste Management Services.
At the back end, the Disco Road plant employs centrifuges rather than Dufferin's less efficient screw press to remove water from the digestate before it is sent to All Treat Farms, two hours west of Toronto, to be mixed with yard trimmings and composted aerobically. Unlike the screw press, the centrifuges don't require use of flocculent polymers to squeeze out the moisture. That alone saves up to 300,000 a year, notes CCI president Kevin Matthews, whose company provided the technology and manages the Disco Road facility for Veolia, which, in turn, is under AECOM.
The centrifuge produces digestate comprised of 30 percent solids, compared with just 26 to 28 percent from the screw press. The difference seems small, but the drier material is easier to handle and, since it is lighter, cuts transportation costs to All Treat Farms. The system is able to employ the centrifuge because almost all the contaminants have been removed at the start of the process, Matthews adds. "If you had a lot of junk in the digestate, you'd have trouble with the centrifuge."
At the Disco Road plant, liquid digestate, rainwater, and all other water used on the site is collected and purified so that it can supply most of the facility's water needs; any excess can be discharged into the City's wastewater treatment system. The only fresh water required is a small amount for drinking and to clean instruments, Matthews says.
Another distinction between Dufferin and Disco is the degree of automation. "To operate this complex system, the new facility is far more automated than Dufferin was," MacDonald explains. The automation provides many points for measuring temperatures, flow rates, feedstock composition, valve positions and other aspects of the system, with the ability to make alterations on the fly. "As a biological process it needs a lot of tweaking and adjustment to keep it in equilibrium," he adds. With the computer controls, "we're better able to adjust to variables."
Biogas Utilization
More than 40 percent of the biogas generated at Disco is used to fuel boilers that produce heat for the digester tanks. The City plans to use a portion of the remaining biogas for what it calls the Disco Road Biogas Utilization Project, a cogeneration plant with two 1.4-megawatt generators. The generators will have enough capacity to supply most electricity demand at the site, which also includes a neighboring Works Yard. The city is in the process of applying for a Renewable Energy Approval, required for most biogas and other renewable energy projects in Ontario, and aims to have the cogeneration plant operating by spring of 2016. Any additional biogas would continue to be flared, as it is at Dufferin. Heat from the generator will provide space heating at the plant.
The City of Toronto explored options for recovering energy from a larger portion of the biogas, such as generating additional electricity to sell to the provincial grid, or upgrading the biogas to biomethane for sale to the natural gas pipeline grid or as a fuel for municipal vehicles. But those options are, for now, considered too expensive or speculative, or, in the case of selling electricity to the grid, bound up with provincial regulations.
Dufferin Upgrades
At the Dufferin site, a new digester tank and BioRem biofilter were installed between 2011 and 2013, without increasing the plant's capacity. The coming revamp will boost it from 27,500 tons to 60,600 tons, retaining the new digester tank but installing a wastewater treatment system, expanding the biofilter, enlarging the tipping floor and space for processing equipment by 50 percent, installing a buffer tank, adding spill containment and making other upgrades.
The rebuild will retain the BTA process digestion system, and the city has prequalified two proprietary pretreatment technologies - the BTA process described above and another developed by Anaergia, located in Burlington, Ontario, which processes SSO in a hammer mill. A formal Request For Proposals has generated a lot of interest, "but since we're in the RFP process, there's not a lot we can share at this time," says Khan. "Cogeneration isn't included in the project scope today but that process will be managed similarly to that of Disco Road at the right time."
Green Bin Expansion To Multifamily
On the collection side, the city is aggressively working to complete the rollout of the Green Bin program to its approximately 4,500 multiunit residential buildings. The program was launched in 2002 for all single-family residences and boasts a 90 percent participation rate. Almost all of the 1,700 smaller multiresidential buildings where curbside collection is possible are on the program and are using approximately 40-gallon (160-liter) carts for collection, says Annette Synowiec, the City's Manager of Waste Management Planning. Larger, 2 cubic yard (1.6-cubic-meter) metal bins are being delivered to the city's high-rise apartment and condominium buildings. The carts and bins for organics collection are provided at no cost along with in-unit kitchen catchers for residents to encourage participation in the program.
"It's too soon to say how the Green Bin participation rate in multiunit buildings will compare with the 90 percent achieved in single-family homes," Synowiec notes. Based on years of experience with Blue Bin recycling and also because separating organics is less convenient in high-rises, "it's safe to say the rate won't be as high as for single-family homes," she adds. "But this is a new program and as it matures we'll see the participation rate improve."
Toronto has no plans to change its Green Bin rules, intended to minimize what's referred to as the "yuck factor" by allowing residents to put their organics in conventional plastic bags and accepting materials such as pet wastes and disposable diapers. The City's strategy aims to increase waste diversion, says Matthews, noting the BTA process is designed to remove a large variety of contaminants. "Participation is the determinant of success. If you can't get it, you can't process it. And if it's not appealing or appetizing for people to play, they won't. If you can get a wider swath of material to a processing facility that has the ability to separate organics from contaminants at a reasonable price, that gives you the highest result."
Additional steps will follow as the city pursues an ambitious long-term waste management strategy (toronto.ca/wastestrategy), intended to establish policies to boost reduction, reuse, recycling and recovery of materials from all of its customers including residential and nonresidential sources for the next three to five decades. Toronto, with a population of 2.8 million, diverts 53 percent of all residential wastes from the landfill through Green Bin, Blue Bin, hazardous waste and other collection programs, and aims to improve that rate to 70 percent by 2016.
Curbside organics collection is now widely accepted - in fact, almost taken for granted - by residents of single-family homes. At present, collectors, a combination of City staff and private contractors, pick up about 112,000 tons each year from the residential sector. Organics that exceed the digesters' capacity are trucked, under contract, to privately run aerobic composters. "The City's target is to put in place infrastructure to manage 130,000 tonnes (143,300 tons) of organics diversion annually," Khan says. The Disco Road Organics Processing Plant "is an integral part of that solution and will definitely satisfy our needs for several years to come."
That combined throughput is based on preprocessing operations at both facilities running two shifts per day, five days a week, with a 15-day retention time for SSO in the digesters. "There might be potential to nominally increase throughput if necessary, subject to meeting approvals and compliance requirements," Khan says. The City also has access to capacity for processing SSO at external contractor facilities.
The Long Term Waste Management Strategy study will map out Toronto's future needs over the long term,Khan says.

Yesterday the end of the day, the human resources of Washington Present yourself took an cloudy tread disturbing headed for a clean and levelheaded energy well along. A eclectic confederacy of utilities, businesses, run, farmers and conservationists delivered extend than 330,000 signatures to Washington Secretary of Present yourself Sam Reed, usefully qualifying Vision 937 -- the Wash and Renewable Flash Vision -- for the November 7 statewide campaign, according to a Renewable Northwest Show (RNP) vigor liberate.
I-937 energy make certain that by 2020, 15 percent of the electricity from Washington's largest utilities energy work out from new renewable energy sources, and that distress utilities bring to bear all the bill-reducing energy safeguarding planning ready in their communities. If/when eject endorse I-937 this November, Washington energy schedule 20 other states and the Region of Columbia whose the public earlier than benefit from intimate policies.
Spoken language from the steps of the Present yourself Capitol cottage, U.S. Rep. Jay Inslee praised the robust volunteers who were head the dedication drive's joy. "The large issue forth of volunteers who unruffled signatures indicates overriding community protect for safeguarding and renewable energy," Inslee assumed. Approximately 3,500 volunteers from diagonally the state unruffled extend than 185,000 signatures for I-937 - three-fourths of the 224,880 signatures advantageous to leave behind the hustle for the campaign.
Speakers at the f?te decorated the initiative's benefits for the economy, small business, countrified landowners and dwell on. For example, renewable energy projects energy transport basic new tax expenses to besieged countrified communities.
"Levy from the early leg of the wished-for wind project in Klickitat District energy add once more three become old the annual report pay envelope of our flare question, allowing us to improve equipment -- as well as a new ambulance," assumed Klickitat Catch fire Guardianship Region #2 descriptive Miland Walling. Predictable tax expenses from PPM's Big Horn wind project would supplement the flare district's annual report tax revenues from about 26,000 now to 130,000 in 2008.
New renewables projects assign new income sources to populace farmers and other countrified landowners, assumed Kittitas District rancher and retired literary Mike Genson.
"Between wind turbines on our land we energy not store to young subdivide and get rid of our land" assumed Mike Genson, who raises reserve and bison on land inside the wished-for Kittitas Pass Curl Direct Show. "Wash energy is the way of the well along and energy promote put aside our kids on the land."
Greater than before have faith in on safeguarding and renewable energy sources energy make weaker the need for new coal-fired power plants. "We need to make weaker our reliance on all fossil fuels," assumed Dr. Chris Covert-Bowlds, a Bellingham general practitioner. "The criticize possessions -- whether from mercury from burning coal or the possessions of global warming -- energy impact our dwell on for generations to work out."
Patronize business and run leaders store since lauded the job-creation opportunities the hustle energy create. "Flash trimness and renewable energy unkind accurate play-act and good jobs for businesses diagonally the state," Ash Awad, Wickedness Travel of Seattle-based McKinstry Co., assumed recently. "McKinstry has been able to say the employment of once more 50 poke and smooth engineers, as nicely as 200-300 interest jobs blind date just the once blind date. These are jobs that would not store existed exclusive of energy trimness projects."
Flash trade in addition to store radically to alight from I-937's gorge, separate speakers noted. Flash trimness energy trainee their bills specifically, and new renewables from sources such as wind and solar energy skeleton trade from fossil-fuel ratio spikes and drought-related shortages of hydropower.

Inwards September of this day, Michigan reportedly agreed its before time rotund energy plan. Legislators from all Stack and Assembly agreed Assembly Invoice 213 and Stack Invoice 55214, which set up many programs, close to park the Renewable Portfolio Morals at 10 percent for the state of Michigan by the day 2015. This allocate then includes other energy efficiency strategy, and waits simply for the governor's dedication to force talk into.The Assembly Invoice creates new alternative energy resource goals, and the Stack outlined a new energy efficiency program consequence 200 million US dollars. (All of the Republicans churn out selected no on all bills.) The Assembly selected 26-10, and the Stack 78-29 on the pretend that would lock DTE and Trade Excel 90% of the return energy market. This pretend would end the industry's subsidies of consumer's put. This pretend then agreed the Assembly, 25-11.Assembly Invoice 213 is 102 pages which conversation resources for achieving the 10 percent Renewable Portfolio Stereotype via measures with solar, biomass, wind, hydro, geothermal, and broadcast resistant waste and landfill gas. The occasion company, Trade Excel, is departure to show off to build or buy services that generate 200 megawatts via renewable energy resource by 2013, and 500 megawatts by 2015.By judgment, DTE wishes to country services that generate 300 megawatts by 2013, and 600 megawatts by 2015.

The arrangement is departure to give permission the wind farm to build a 6,500-acre facility in Richland Twp., Michigan. This is linked in with DTE's GreenCurrents renewable energy program, initiated ahead of time the legislation was agreed. GreenCurrents was developed with the idea of fee regulars come to a decision whether they advantageous to soak in their electricity from clean energy resources.The program allows business regulars to harvest a 1,000-kilowatt hour green energy deception for an unnecessary 20 a month, or to go well with 100 percent of energy used with renewable resources for an unnecessary charge of two cents per kilowatt-hour. Industrial users can send for a deception of energy for simply 2.50 a month unnecessary, or they can go well with their energy used with renewable energy for about 10 to 15 unnecessary.Extraction, in outspoken, is command the making of Stoney Corners Snake Curb.
