Stephen Crivillaro – Multiple Sources

Stephen Crivillaro has been a green energy consultant. He was born and raised in New York City. He is a proponent of renewable energy, and says that in his opinion there is no single source of renewable energy that is the best choice. Rather, he advocates using multiple sources of renewable energy like solar power, wind power, and municipal solid waste as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels.

Renewable energy, he says, is that which comes from natural processes such as sunlight and wind that are naturally replenished. He is encouraged that in recent years the world has turned to renewable energy sources for up to thirteen percent of its primary energy supply, but says that is a percentage that needs to keep going up, because fossil fuel sources not only pose a threat to the environment, they are finite and dwindling.

Global wind power capacity was 238 gigawatts (GW) at the end of 2011, according to the figures Stephen Crivillaro has seen. That’s up only 18 gigawatts from the end of 2000. Solar power, on the other hand, was roughly 67 gigawatts at the end of 2011– up from just 1.5 GW in the year 2000. This, he says, is encouraging and shows great promise.

According to the forecasts of some international energy authorities, renewable energy sources have the potential to greatly increase their penetration in the long term. Stephen Crivillaro says that by one estimate, renewable energy will grow threefold by 2035. These are promising numbers, but he says that the focus on renewable energy as a viable alternative to fossil fuels should be accelerated.

Stephen Crivillaro - Labor History

Stephan Crivillaro majored in Labor Studies as a student at Queens College, and learned a great deal about the role of organized labor in American industry, and the of the dynamics of between and management relations.

He also learned a great deal about the history of organized labor. Before enrolling in the Labor Studies curriculum, Stephen Crivillaro always thought that labor unions had their origins in the twentieth century. But it was really in the mid- to late-1800s that the initial efforts to organize workers into units of collective bargaining began to make headway. Prior to that, most American workers worked ten hour shifts for six days at week, and that was the original goal of most organized labor: winning an eight hour day, five days a week, and at a reasonable wage.

During the early days of labor and its attempts to organize, there was disagreement on what the common goals should be. But the length of the work day and week were generally agreed upon. After some success with shorter days and work weeks, some workers, Stephen Crivillaro learned, adopted extreme ideas such as Marxism. Others were content to bargain collectively for small increases in their hourly wage, and a few benefits. But he saw that organized labor had, as a group, brought tremendous change to the workforce in America, and most of it for the better. Today most Americans enjoy higher wages, better hours, and improved working conditions, and in many instances employers pay for medical coverage and a couple of weeks of vacation each year.

Stephen Crivillaro - Waste to Energy

Stephen Crivillaro majored in Labor Studies at Queens College in New York, and has worked as a green energy consultant. He is particularly interested in renewable energy sources such as waste to energy. Separated municipal solid waste, he says, is defined as material that has been separated from yard waste or food waste and can be converted to energy.

Stephen Crivillaro became a green energy consultant not long after graduating from Queens College in New York. His consulting work took him as far away as Mumbai, India, where he was associated with a waste to energy unit that he says shows great promise. He has done similar consulting in Dusseldorf, Germany.
