My home state of Arizona has no oil to speak of but is blessed with a natural resource that in my opinion is even better: abundant sunshine. Just as oil was a passport to wealth in the 20th century, I believe the sun will be a gateway to prosperity in the 21st. With more than 300 days of sunshine every year, Arizona and the neighboring states straddle some of the best areas in the world for solar power. We have the potential to be a global center for the production of clean, renewable electricity—a commodity that is certain to be in high demand in the decades to come. As a member of Congress, I wake up every morning and go to sleep every night thinking about the significant challenges facing our country. Among the greatest of these are: • How do we create good jobs and strengthen our economic competitiveness? • How do we ensure our national security in a dangerous world? • How do we protect our natural environment—especially from the threat of catastrophic climate change? The reason I get so excited about solar power is that it offers a viable solution, at least in part, to all of these major challenges: economic competitiveness, energy independence, and climate change. Indeed, my support for the American Clean Energy and Security Act is rooted in the need to address these critical issues. Because of its tremendous potential, promoting solar power has been a top priority for me ever since I arrived in Congresswoman Giffords participates in a rooftop solar consultation. Congress in 2007. I never miss an Photo courtesy U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. opportunity to advance this issue, Issue No. 24 : Fall/Winter 2009 : Borders & Bridges 3 Terrain.org: A Journal of the Built & Natural Environments : www.terrain.org whether through legislation, public education or personal advocacy. But what would it take for solar to really become a major power source in the United States? Last year, the U.S. Department of Energy issued a report outlining how we could generate 20 percent of our power from wind by 2030. What if we were to adopt a comparable target for solar? What would it take to achieve that? Well, over the next two decades we would need to install at least 2,200 times as much solar power capacity as we did last year! The industry would have to sustain an annual growth rate of 33 percent for the next 20 years. In other words, our future growth would have to dwarf our past accomplishments. That’s a significant challenge in its own right. But significant solar expansion also would challenge us to increase our grid integration capabilities, develop new energy storage systems and upgrade solar financing mechanisms. And we would need to train a solar workforce that can deploy and integrate solar into existing and new infrastructure. Meeting such enormous logistical challenges is difficult, but not impossible. Our nation has risen to incredible challenges before. But it will require more than just effective individual companies. It will require coordination across the entire solar community, including private companies, academia, non-profits, and government. We must take our collaborative efforts to a new level. The good news is that solar policy has made some remarkable advances in While solar hot water heating is standard on most homes recent years, despite the industry’s in the Tucson, Arizona, community of Civano, many limited resources. This has happened homes also feature solar photovoltaic panels. Photo courtesy Community of Civano, LLC. because solar offers a real solution that speaks to today’s needs in a uniquely effective way. Nevertheless, from my vantage point in Congress, I can see that continued forward momentum will require a substantial and coordinated advocacy effort. Thankfully, solar supporters are passionate about their cause. We must draw on that passion to overcome some significant hurdles. First among these is raising awareness of the true potential of solar power. Few of my congressional colleagues really believe that solar is capable of making a substantial contribution to our energy needs anytime in the near future. This must change. Issue No. 24 : Fall/Winter 2009 : Borders & Bridges 4 Terrain.org: A Journal of the Built & Natural Environments : www.terrain.org People need to understand that solar technology works, it is affordable, and it is in our national interest. They also need to understand that without supportive policy, our nation will fall behind foreign competitors in what is poised to be a major 21st century industry, just as we have in so many others, such as textiles, automobiles, flat-panel displays, and nuclear technology. My staff and I are working hard to spread the news about solar: • Since 2007 I have introduced or cosponsored numerous pieces of solar legislation, including workforce training, grid-integration studies, and incentive tax credits for manufacturing and deployment. • My district office gives free “Solar 101” seminars across southern Arizona to help people understand how to take advantage of the new incentives and go solar themselves. • I talk almost weekly with solar leaders across our state to coordinate efforts with them to educate Arizona business and community leaders. And Arizona is an example of a state moving forward with solar: • Applications have been submitted to develop solar projects on more than half a million acres of federal land in Arizona. • The governor recently signed a manufacturing tax credit into law, prompting numerous companies to explore locating in The solar field at Nellis Air Force Base is comprised of the state. more than 72,000 photovoltaic panels. The array is • The statewide Renewable Energy expected to produce more than 25 percent of the base's electricity.

President Obama recently visited the Southwest and toured the vast photovoltaic array at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada. The base is home to the largest PV installation in the western hemisphere: 72,000 panels on 140 acres generating 14 megawatts of clean, sustainable power. After his tour, the President spoke of the “power of clean, renewable energy to build a new, firmer foundation for economic growth.” He is absolutely right.

This is one of many related papers that were included in the 1975 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.

  • COMPRESSOR STATION AHEAD! by Brian Brock
    The Newsletter of Franklin Local Vol. VIII, No. 3 Franklin, New York FALL 2014 ‘INDEPENDENT, FEARLESS AND FREE’ WARNING: COMPRESSOR STATION AHEAD! By Brian Brock Franklin residents may have not imagined that a fin- ished Constitution pipeline would be much of a problem – unless they are landowners along the route. It would be just a hundred foot wide clear-cut stretching ten miles across Franklin from Route 357 west of the East Sidney Dam to Route 28 up on Franklin Mountain. Those opinions may change now that a second pipe- line, the Northeast Energy Direct (NED), has been pro- posed alongside the Constitution with a compressor sta- tion in Franklin.

Gary Gygax Some guidelines for future contributors: (1) No Forgotten Realms/Dragonlance/etc. tie-ins. This is not a list of licensed gaming fiction. You’ll thank me later. (2) No campaign journals, fan-written fiction or other unpublished/amateur work. See (1). (3) No gaming sourcebooks, modules, rulebooks or magazines (unless they contain reprinted or original fiction). For a list of old school gaming materials, surf to the Acaeum. (4) Include in-line links to the material. In some cases these books are available online for free, if not, they are available from Amazon.
