California Wind Energy

In 2009, wind power produced more than 5,258 million kilowatt-hours in the state

of California, which represent about the 1.5 percent of total states electricity production.

During breezy early mornings in summer, the contribution goes even higher. According to

Mary A. Ilyn, a wind researcher At those times, the wind accounts for up to 8% of our

electrical load (qtd. in Golden). All states wind generating capacity is located in three

main areas: Altamont Pass, Tehachapi and San Gorgonio, which in past years came to

represent the 30 percent of the all worlds wind electricity production. California Wind

energy Collaborative insures California has been a national and global leader in wind

power since the introduction of winds turbines for utility-scale electricity generation

(CWEC, par. 2). They claim that this tradition will remain for over the next years, with an

aggressive renewables portfolio standard, which requires that 30 percent of the Californias

energy should be provided by renewable energy resources by 2018. A partnership between

the academia and the California energy commission, have performed in a variety of studies,

and research, investigating issues and trying to bring up with newer technologies in order to

reduce the cost of wind energy, and make more affordable for the society (CEC, par. 1).

Otherwise, wind power for distributed utilization is a well chosen to be commercially

available under limitations. Distributed wind systems could be a cost- effective choice, in

the industry, district residences, agricultural industry and a good source in remote locations
where a utility would not be economically appropriate. While wind energy continues its

growing capacity and its technological improvement, this technology will be source that

will be able to match or beat next generation Californias electricity demand.

 Ney Yorks First Restaurant

In 1827, Swiss brothers immigrants founded what will become the very first luxury

restaurant in New York, and for almost 100 years the well known as the "haute cuisine" in

America (Kludt, Par. 1). The Delmonico's restaurant, as it is still known today, is better

known as the restaurant that changed New York dining forever. Giovanni and Pietro Del-

Monico opened a shop on William Street with a couple of pine tables where customers

could eat French pastries, chocolate and some other things. Couple of years later, the

Delmonicos opened a Restaurant Francais, at that time in other public eating places in

America, the costumer just ate what was on offer that day, for a fixed price, at times set by

the establishment (Burrows, Edwin and Wallace 436). What Delmonico's introduced to

America was the relatively-new French concept of a menu, with different things you could

choose at different prices, and, to boot, you could come in at any time that suited your

schedule. New Yorkers were unsure about elegant foreign customs at first, and the earliest

patrons tended to be resident European agents of export houses, who felt themselves

marooned among a people with barbarous eating habits. Finally, the idea would be a

triumph, however, while the years passed away, more restaurants appeared, and the

businessman has found a new choice to go and eat, rather than home.
