Grid Space Expanding to Accomodate Solar Energy Growth in the U.S.

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Nicki Zvik, Founder of Green Solar Technologies


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

As renewable energy becomes more and more prominent, it is essential to ensure the grid is prepared to take it on.

According to an article by Nate Berg published on GreenBiz, “Roughly 15 percent of the electricity generated in the United States comes from renewable sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower and biomass, amounting to 64 million of the 411 million megawatt-hours (MWH) of total electricity generated in July, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. That’s a jump up from just 9 percent a decade ago. From large-scale wind farms to single panels installed on rooftops, renewable energy has gone from novel to commonplace.”

That being said, the electrical grid that brings power to homes and businesses will need to continue being updated in order to accommodate the ever-growing renewable energy industry.

Nicki Zvik, Founder of Green Solar Technologies, states, “If we’re going to get to a place where our country is powered by 100% renewable energy, we’re going to need a lot of grid space to do so. We as a country can’t quite support 100% clean energy yet, but we’re getting there, and as alternative methods of energy continue to rise in popularity, the methods by which power is brought to homes and businesses will continue to be modernized.”

The GreenBiz article continues, “Electricity producers and the utility companies that distribute that electricity to households and businesses throughout the country are working to make it easier for renewable sources to provide that power, according to John Jimison, executive director of Americans for a Clean Energy Grid, a non-profit advocacy group focusing on modernizing the grid. ‘The basis of the transition is the need to get off carbon-based energy and stop emitting greenhouse gases,’ Jimison says. ‘That’s a priority for everybody who understands the science.’”

“Because the need to switch from carbon-based energy to renewable sources is so widely accepted and celebrated, it shouldn’t be long before the rest of the country gets on board with states like California and Hawaii in committing to going 100% solar within the next few decades,” shares Zvik, “As long as every state has the ability to make the switch, and as long as Americans continue to see the importance of going carbon-free, there should be nothing holding us back from becoming a solar-powered country in the not-so-distant future.”

Nicki Zvik is the founder of Green Solar Technologies and Spectrum Properties LLC.

MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“Our Town Series Featuring Simon and Sophia: Our Founding Fathers and Town Services”: an illustrated children’s tale that follows Simon and Sophia and their two other friends as they seek answers about their town and roam the place—only to come across to an exciting series of unexpected adventure. “Our Town Series Featuring Simon and Sophia: Our Founding Fathers and Town Services” is the creation of published author Bernadette Kolbeck, a people person who enjoyed serving others and has sampled a variety of jobs and careers. She completed RN and MSN degrees and became the director of nursing at a large assisted-living/retirement facility. After retiring, she has written two large narrative photobiographies of her family.

Kolbeck shares, “What is a town, and how does a town get started? These are some of the questions asked by Simon and Sophia. They were joined by twin friends Ryan and Alyssa, who wanted to know more about Slinger.

“We visited the two most important services a town can offer which is police protection and fire safety. The children learned that the police officer carried most of their tools on their uniform, much as the military. They wear their pistols or handgun in a holster and the big guns close by.

“The tour of the fire department was so interesting. They were shown some of the tools firefighters use on the job, and then they were given a ride in a bright green fire truck.

“Suddenly, across the path of the children ran a dog with a bloody hip, running very fast. The four children ran after it to give the dog help. However, the dog ran into a broken-down building, and was nowhere to be found. Then the four children disappeared. What happened to the children? What happened to the dog? Can you solve this suspenseful mystery?”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Bernadette Kolbeck’s new book is an amusing and educational read for children that will take them into a thrilling adventure as four young friends explore their own town.

Joel Nelson’s newly released “Discovering the 3EEE Lifestyle” is a soul-refreshing book that explains discipleship.

Leave a comment


News Image


MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“Discovering the 3EEE Lifestyle”: a compelling discovery of the steps on how to be a good follower and disciple of Christ. “Discovering the 3EEE Lifestyle” is the creation of published author Joel Nelson, a founder, and president of Making Disciples Ministry. He began his ministry in 1980, helping to plant churches in Prince Georges Country, Maryland.

Nelson writes, “Discovering the 3EEE Lifestyle looks at how to achieve Jesus Christ’s command to his church to make disciples. To accomplish this task, you must focus on three primary areas: exalt the Savior, equip the saints, and evangelize the sinner. These are practical steps to help us effectively make disciples. Being a disciple is God’s plan for every Christian.

“Discovering the 3EEE lifestyle begins with ‘exalting the Savior through worship.’ Worship says it’s not about me. It’s not about my wants or desires. It’s not about my ambitions or plans. It’s about me giving everything up for God. Worship is submission. Submission to Christ is the foundation of our relationship with him and the core of true worship.

“Discovering the 3EEE lifestyle continues with ‘equipping the saints through the Word.’ The task of equipping is essentially that of getting people ready to live the Christian life and to do ministry in the world. The operative phrase is found in Ephesians 4:12, to ‘Equip the saints for the work of ministry.’ The result of being “equipped” is Christlikeness.

“The final step in discovering the 3EEE lifestyle is ‘evangelizing the sinner through witnessing.’ It has been noted that most Christians never share their faith with nonbelievers or have never led anyone to faith in Jesus Christ. A disciple is taught that it is his or her duty to witness for Jesus Christ. Every disciple is commanded to make disciples by witnessing, mark them by baptism, and mature them by teaching them all the things that Jesus Christ commanded us.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Nelson’s new book is an encouraging treatise that urges everyone to offer their heart to God for them to become a good disciple and follower of Jesus Christ.

This book calls everyone to establish a daily connection and relationship with Jesus through Bible study, prayer and practicing spiritual disciplines.
