1. Stephen Crivillaro: All about Renewable Energy
Stephen Crivillaro holds a degree in Labor Studies from Queens College in New York. But he
worked for years as a green energy consultant, and says that renewable energy is both
important, and an endlessly fascinating subject.
He is passionate about renewable energy, and when he gets wound up on the topic he tells
people that nothing less than the fate of the planet is at stake. He usually reins himself in at that
point, because he thinks it is wise to keep his politics to himself sometimes, although he remains
a strong advocate of public policies that advance the cause of renewable energy.
And so he emphasizes the technology itself. As Stephen Crivillaro knows, there is a lot to talk
about; there is no single renewable energy. He believes that advancing renewable energy on its
most viable fronts, such as solar power and waste to energy systems, is the way to go.
But it all boils down to developing new possibilities for creating cheap and abundant energy that
will provide for all of the earth's energy needs, and he says that the technology for realizing that
goal has arrived, but is in its infancy.

2. The main forms of renewable energy, says Stephen Crivillaro, are solar power, wind, geothermal,
biomass, and hydro power. He also advocates waste to energy systems. He says that solar power
has become the most attractive, and most discussed, form of renewable energy in the minds of
many Americans.
There are already many solar plants in the South west, and many authorities, such as those with
the Solar Energy Industries Association, insist that it has yet to live up to its full potential. And
that, he says, is where the biggest challenge lies: in ramping up production and distribution of
solar energy technology in order to lower its costs, so that it is on a par with traditional fossil fuel
sources.
