IEEE extends deadline for paper submissions

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Organizers of the second IEEE Green Technology Conference have extended the deadline for receiving abstracts and technical papers to December 7.

Original work is sought on current and emerging renewable energy sources and energy-reduction technologies.

Contributed papers and abstracts are solicited in four tracks:

• Energy generation and storage technologies;

• Energy resource utilization and water conservation;

• Green architecture and sustainable design;

• Environmental, legal, social, economic and political impacts.

Accepted papers will be presented during the conference, April 15-16 at the Gaylord Texan Hotel and Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas, between Dallas and Fort Worth. They will be published in a conference proceedings CD and available through the digital library IEEE Xplore.

To submit a paper, which must be received by December 7, go to http://www.ieeegreentech.org/TechConf/PaperSubmission.htm. Submissions must describe original work not previously published or currently under review for publication in another conference or journal.

Instructions can be found at (http://www.ieee.org/portal/cms_docs/pubs/confpubcenter/pdfs/samplems.pdf). Authors will be notified by December 15 whether their papers are accepted. Proposals for workshops, panels and tutorials are also welcome.

Questions regarding proposals and paper submissions can be directed to Edward L. Safford, technical program chair, at e.safford@ieee.org

With increasing concerns about fossil fuel costs, supplies and emissions, scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs are more closely examining the commercial viability of renewable energy sources. These include solar, wind, nuclear, geothermal, hydro and biomass, among others, as well as alternative vehicle power sources such as fuel cells, gasoline and liquid natural gas electric hybrids and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The conference aims to look at these technologies.

Why an energy crisis and $5 gas aren't spurring a green revolution

WASHINGTON - Big solar projects are facing major delays. Plans to adapt the grid to clean energy are confronting mountains of red tape. Affordable electric vehicles are in short supply.

The United States is struggling to squeeze opportunity out of an energy crisis that should have been a catalyst for cleaner, domestically produced power. After decades of putting the climate on the back burner, the country is finding itself unprepared to seize the moment and at risk of emerging from the crisis even more reliant on fossil fuels.
