Patenting Green Technology in the U.S.

04/13/2010 2:15 PM

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has announced a pilot program for accelerating the examination procedure for patent applications related to green technology, which includes technology that relates to "energy conservation, development of renewable energy resources, or greenhouse gas emission reduction."

Sounds good, but, as far as I can see, for the sake of the environment to protect it from further greenhouse gas build up is 'too little too late.' When you also consider what the article says "Some of these programs provide excellent opportunities for businesses." It is hardly a soothing expression to make me believe it'll do any good for the earth. If you refer to one of our forum (02/18/2009 11:46 PM) "Hydrothermal Energy is Now a Reality" you have to wonder why no steps are taken when it comes to saving the enviroment and the answer is - There's no money to make from it i.e. no quick return. Furthermore, while we are trying to find renewable energy resources to maintain our much needed electrical energy supply, we fail to realise this is only a fraction of our total energy requirement. I do not want to disappoint you, but here's a link http://www.windenergy-the-truth.com. Just to maintain a windmill can cost more than what it's worth and its energy can also be more expensive than a fossil fuel power station's. It is contradicting to eliminate the Green House effect through the very same scheme that has created it, money that is. Meaning, the monetary based system cannot save the enviroment since it has always been destroying it, sometimes in the name of progress but by far and large in the name of profit. I can also assure you that I do not belong to any dooms-day cult but, fact are facts and bugger all the politicians, they are more hopeless than ever.

Very useful and encouraging information to green energy inventors. That shows the priority scope for green energy based deliveries. Thank you for the valuable post Sir.
