Pure Energy

Sean O'Hanlon interviewing Tia Diaz-Balart, founder EcoChamber

Sean O’Hanlon rocked the airwaves last night during the debut of Pure Energy. The show was broadcast live from Metro1 Properties and more than 200 people were on hand to listen to the broadcast. Although there was a slight snafu with the phone lines, the discussion around which forms of energy should be pursued became a heated discussion. 880 the Biz host Rich Roffman joined Sean and they preceded to debate whether you can produce geothermal energy in Florida (the answer is yes).

Sean also visited with the founder of EcoChamber, Tia Diaz-Balart, about the importance of launching a global green chamber of commerce. The EcoChamber will be working on policy decisions around the world to ensure that sustainable business practices are adopted.

The first national radio show dedicated to the business of renewable energy will make its debut from the Miami studios of 880 The Biz (WZAB) on Monday, July 13, at 6:00 pm Eastern time.

Pure Energy is hosted by noted energy expert Sean O’Hanlon, Executive Director of the American Biofuels Council (ABC).

Pure Energy“We’re going to talk about all forms of energy and we’re going to focus primarily on the business side of alternatives and renewables in the energy sector,” said O’Hanlon. “Most people focus on clean, green and sustainable but overlook the economic side of it – job creation, cost savings, cost competitiveness and the opportunity to invest in various technologies and companies in renewables.” The program will include all aspects of energy, from policy and petroleum concerns to wind, solar, hydro-electric, geothermal, and biofuels.

Guests for the premier show include two renowned energy authorities – worldwide peak oil expert Richard Heinberg, author of nine books including “Peak Everything” and aerospace engineer Dr. Robert Zubrin, author of Energy Victory, who says the nation needs and energy show like this right now. “I think it’s a great thing and I think it would be better if we had a network of such in every city across the country,” said Zubrin. “Because for America to break free from the oil cartel is essential for our future and people everywhere need to know how we can do it.”

Interested in learning how to turn algae into gold? Oops, I mean energy? Scientists around the world are developing technologies to turn algae into a substitute for oil. Why is this so important? Because petroleum biproducts are used in everything from diesel to nylons to pharmacuticals to make-up. Today, algae is the only way to replace the needed hydrocarbons in the the transportation sectors and manufacturing sectors.

This single feedstock can produce biodiesel ethanol, biocrude, renewable diesel, renewable gasoline, and jet fuel.

Sam Sheperd, a chemical engineer, founded Algae to Energy, LLC in 2003. They have developed a unique way to turn algae into energy. Check out this feature video on Sam, his company and their technology.
