How To Be More Energy Efficient

This article looks at the ins and outs of energy efficiency.

Carbon Tax Versus Cap-and-Trade Approaches to Global Warming - Part 1

After making a strong case for Europe to adopt the cap-and-trade strategy back in 1997, the United States took two important steps in the other direction since then. One such development is the recent proliferation of coal-fired power plants built all over the Mid West. Within the next ten years we can expect to see dozens of coal-plants at the 1,500 MW range spewing out about a million tons of sulphur a year into the atmosphere.

Home Solar Energy in Tucson

Solar energy is gaining in popularity, with more people asking questions about converting to home solar. Home solar is clean. Home solar is green. Home solar is almost entirely maintenance free.

Alternative Home Energy

Hydrogen fuel cells, biomass gases, solar collectors, solar hot water systems, heat storage vaults, photovoltaic electricity, solar panels, solar greenhouses and solar house plans will are all part of the growing trend toward homes that are powered by alternative energy sources. We as individual also face the need of becoming more energy independent from giant energy companies.

Reduce your Energy Costs with Biodiesel

We all see the oil prices going up steadily. This is not just a news item; it has a direct impact on our pocket. Usage costs for any system that we have like heating systems or vehicle that runs on diesel, have increased significantly in the last several years and it does not show any sign that it will stop rising. It seems that we have no control on these prices and there is nothing that we, as the common people, can do. Well, that is absolutely wrong! Using alternative energy like biodiesel can save us more than 50% percent of the energy costs.

Hydro Power

The goal is to produce renewable energy with Net Zero green house gas and a minimum of ecological impact. Just add water! Small Hydro energy resource provided by the US Government, take a look at the GIS driven resource maps for an area. Drive it around and get the feel for the many prospects and limitations for Small Hydro in the future...

Alternative Energy for Vehicles

Alternative energy for vehicles has come a long way, but unfortunately we are not yet at a point where we can go without gasoline. Hybrid cars, however, are the first step to the future.

What is Cogeneration

Find out what is Cogeneration, its suitability and future... Cogeneration or Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Technology converts gas into both electricity and heat in a single process at the point of use.

A Better Environment For All

Are we ready for a mass extinction event?

Low Energy Light Bulbs, Why You Should Use Them

Low energy light bulbs have been around for many years now and are relatively cheap to buy. The overall savings to be had by using them make these the ideal replacement bulbs for any room in your house.

The Fundamental Elements of Wind Turbines

Wind power is the fastest growing renewable energy platform in the world. Ah, but just how do wind turbines work. Well, you have to understand the key components.

The Different Types Of Natural Energy

A basic understanding of some of the most popular renewable and natural energy methods can be found here. There are many different natural energy sources out there, some of which are more powerful than others, whereas others are more reliable in delivering a much greater output. We shall now take a look at some of the main renewable energy sources.
