Although Lockheed Martin is usually associated with aerospace technology, the company is working with Beijing-based Reignwood Group to develop a pilot ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) power plant off the coast of southern China.
The two companies signed a memorandum of agreement in Beijing last week. Following the ceremony, both companies met with US Secretary of State John Kerry during his first official state visit to the People's Republic of China.

Woodchuck Cidery in Middlebury, Vermont, gets 10-15 percent of Canada Mobile Database its energy from a nearby solar farm of 26 solar trackers that produce 210,000 kWh per year. AllEarth Renewables, based in Williston, Vermont, makes solar trackers. Woodchuck Cidery also participates in Green Mountain Power's Cow Power program in Vermont, which converts cow manure into energy. The cider company pays a 25 percent premium on its capacity to help fund the program.
In other news, Constellation and the Somerton School District have completed a 1.6 MW (DC) integrated solar energy project in Yuma County, Arizona, located at five sites: Desert Sonora Elementary, Orange Grove Elementary, Middle Somerton School, Tierra del Fuego Primary School. School and training center Valle del Encanto. Collectively, these installations are expected to produce enough electricity to meet approximately 60 percent of the schools' electrical needs. Constellation owns and services solar systems.
The Somerton School District purchases the electricity generated by the solar panels from Constellation under a 20-year solar services agreement. The system consists of approximately 6,600 photovoltaic panels located on 10 carports and eight lean-to structures and is expected to generate approximately 2.3 million kWh per year. The solar energy project was originally developed by Kennedy Partners and Smart Energy Capital and built by CORE Construction. The installation was facilitated in part by the APS Renewable Energy Incentive Program.
The software, which has saved Microsoft millions of dollars, has been so successful that the company and its partners are now helping building managers around the world, including at the Pentagon, implement the same solution. With commercial buildings consuming about 40 percent of the world's energy, Microsoft says "the potential is enormous."
SL Industries and SL Surface Technologies have agreed to perform approximately $23 million in soil cleanup and reimburse the Environmental Protection Agency for $10.7 million in past costs at the Puchack Well Field Superfund site in Pennsauken Township, New Jersey. The soil to be cleaned up is contaminated with hexavalent chromium, and six public drinking water wells near the site had to be taken out of service due to contamination, the agency said.
Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Rep. Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) said the House of Representatives will introduce its own version of the Water Resources Development Act by late spring or early summer, The Hill reports. In March, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee passed legislation that would provide low-interest loans for water infrastructure projects.
On sunny days when games are not being played, the installations will feed power back into the grid, but over the course of the year, renewable energy generators are expected to provide about 30 percent of the stadium's power. The rest of the stadium's energy needs will be covered by renewable energy credits, the newspaper reported.
