Wind, using one of natures renewable resources to make green electricity.

Blue Diamond Ventures continues to look at ways to further diversify its energy portfolio by exploring other technologies as they become available. Our generation portfolio includes environmentally sound renewable energy sources: wind energy, refuse-derived fuel and bio-fuels.
Wind energy is a major component of our plan.

It is generally the most economical source of renewable energy, competitive with and sometimes cheaper than electricity from fossil fuels and nuclear power. Good sites can produce wind power at eight to ten cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) – even less when the federal tax credit is factored in. In comparison, the cost of electricity from a new natural gas plant in California is ten to eleven cents per kWh. Wind power has gained worldwide popularity as a large scale energy source, and although it only provides less than one percent of global energy consumption the demand for its installation continues to grow by over 30% year over year. .

The United States has taken over from previous champion Germany in wind power production. For this USA has to be thankful to nature and human resource that produce technology. Nature has gifted USA with stronger wind than Germany. Randall Swisher, the executive director of the American Wind Energy Association, said that the US wind energy capacity is growing faster than anyplace else. But if we try to view those stats differently, Germany harnesses seven percent of their power from wind and Denmark generates twenty percent of power from wind. Wind energy only constitutes 1.2% of total power consumption in America.

Now big companies are going green and proudly proclaiming it too from rooftops. Google Inc. has invested $38.8 million in two North Dakota wind farms. This is the first direct investment by Google in utility-scale renewable energy generation. These two wind farms produce 169.5 megawatts of power. These two wind farms can light up around 55,000 homes. They generate power from one of the world's richest wind resources in the North Dakota plains. There is no need to lay down extra infrastructure for the two wind farms. Current transmission facilities are able to transmit power to the nearby areas. Google's official blog claims, "Through this $38.8 million investment, we're aiming to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy — in a way that makes good business sense, too.

The cost of wind power can be very cheap at good wind sites, at 4 to 6 cents per kWh. A federal tax credit of 1.9 cents per kWh was renewed in December of 2006, which reduces the cost to consumers substantially. Other industries, such as the oil industry and nuclear power industry enjoy a similar tax credit.

Global wind power production has grown by about 30 percent in each of the last five years, a rapid pace of growth by any measure. There are now more than 75,000 MW of wind turbines around the globe – enough for about 20 million American-sized homes. In California, at about 2,300 MW, wind power produces enough power for 700,000 homes.

California currently obtains only about 1.5 to 2 percent of its power from wind. The variability of wind power doesn’t present much of a problem until windgenerated electricity constitutes between 10 to 20 percent of the grid’s total supply of power, partly because California utilities are required to maintain a
17 percent reserve capacity

Organic Farming

Recent developments in Belize's economy have brought a high demand for soybean meal as a component for production of shrimp, chicken, pork and other animals. The rapid growth of the shrimp farming industry in Belize coupled with the growing demand for chicken, pork and beef has spawned a need for greater production of soybean products as a means of substituting importation.

Belize imports thousands of tons of soybeans every year, so there is a huge market for soy grown in Belize. Local farmers raise livestock and have to spend hard cash to purchase feed made from imported soy. Soy has an unlimited market in that it can be used for livestock feed, milk and protein based table fare.

Soy is easily grown in the Belize climate with multiple crops per year from the same land. The land can be planted easily by tilling the soil with plows and discs and seeded by automated seeding machine or simply planted by hand using a stick to punch a hole in the soil and dropping 3-4 seeds into each hole as done by some local Mayan Indians.

Tourist and travelers to nations like Belize have expressed serious interest in visiting organic farms to view the natural process of growing food.

The organic and integrated fresh water fish farming project that Blue Diamond is implementing is a "one of a kind" and will be a highly sought after tourist destination.

Belize has a large population of domestic fresh water fish. It is important to protect the domestic species and raise them in a natural environment.

Over the last twenty-five years, several species of Tilapia have escaped into the wild from various farm ponds, while some have also entered Belize from neighboring countries. Having adapted to the environment, various species of Tilapia can now be found in streams, rivers, lagoons and brackish coastal waters.

Tilapia research specialists from Langston University will help Blue Diamond Ventures to identify and develop "brood stock" from the wild Belizean Tilapia at the company's project hatchery-nursery. The company hopes to develop a strain free from pollutants to meet the requirements for Organic Tilapia Fingerlings.
