IEEE extends deadline for paper submissions
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.

An NDP government would make hydro public again, end off-peak pricing, Horwath says in Sudbury
TORONTO - Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath says her party’s hydro plan will reduce families’ electricity bills and the NDP is the only choice to get Hydro One back in public hands.
Howarth outlined the plan Saturday morning outside the home of a young family who say they struggle with their electricity bills — in particular over the extra laundry they now have after the birth of their twin boys.
An NDP government would end time-of-use pricing, which charges higher rates during peak times and lower rates after hours, “so that people aren’t punished for cooking dinner at dinner time,” Horwath said…
