The federal Department of Energy has approved a $98.6 million loan to U.S. Geothermal Inc. in Idaho to support the company's project to build a geothermal energy plant in Eastern Oregon.
The loan will pay for 75 percent of the project cost, said Jonathan Zurkoff, vice president of finance for U.S. Geothermal.

There is continued work to develop new technologies to capture the sun's energy, including photovoltaic cells, concentrating solar power technologies and low-temperature solar collectors," said Linda Perry with the Mississippi Development Authority's (MDA's) Energy Division. The law increased the tax credit to 30 percent of the cost of each qualified energy efficiency improvement and removed the cap on geothermal heat pumps and solar hot water heaters through 2016.

Structural Insulated Panels are prefabricated wall systems with a polyurethane foam core sandwiched between oriented strand board. If a system such as photovoltaics (solar-powered electricity) or geothermal (heating and cooling using the temperature of the earth) saves $1,000 a month on energy costs but cost a huge amount of money to install, it's probably not a good investment.

Proponents say that every municipality ought to be taking notes on Wayne Township's proposal to generate its own heat and power using renewable solar, geothermal and wind energy as a way to cut energy costs.
The cost of producing power is going to go up," said resident Martin Ludwig, who initiated the idea and now leads a planning committee of residents. However, the potential cost savings is only part of a world of reasons he supports the plan. "The environment we live in, my God, we can't screw it up. It's the only one we've got," he said.

Using alternative energy sources such as geothermal or photovoltaic may provide free energy once installed but there are initial costs to think of, and buildings usually remain attached to the grid through their local utility company as well. While LEED certification may be a high standard for some to reach, it is EDA's company philosophy to approach every project using sustainable materials and procedures in ways that are both practical and cost effective.
