Going Green Funds are Not Enough

Governments must increase the going green funds. This is not just a matter of helping the people with their savings and improving their life quality, but it is for the big picture benefits as well...

We Are Being Raped by the Oil Companies (Monopolies) - It is Finally Time to Do Something About It

Have you noticed the huge increase in gas prices since the last congressional election? We are all being ripped off by the oil companies right now.

Electricity Rates Increased For 2007 - Terror At Home! Money Saving Tips Everyone Can Use

You have seen it coming, even heard the news - Electric rates in some states have increased 58 percent in 2006-2007! This is absolutely absurd - not only have we faced climbing gas prices for our vehicles now our homes will cost more to run. Use these money savings tips to save energy and decrease the cost of the ever rising Energy costs.

Large - Scale Wind Turbines: Grid Management and Energy Storage: The Facts and Factors of Wind Power

When you want to have the most effective large - scale wind turbines possible there are details that those who design such wind turbines must seriously consider. These are the kinds of details such as Grid management, Predictability, and Energy Storage.

Alternative Energies and Our Dependence on Foreign Middle Eastern Oil

The issues with our dependency on Middle Eastern foreign oil compromises the United State's position in maintaining our integrity in International Relations, treaties, negotiations and sticking to our guns on doing what is right. Indeed it often makes the chess game more complicated and causes to make a bad shift over the line too often in the pragmatic approach lining up alliances.

Wind Generators and Thoughts on Re-Designing Them

The Online Think Tank is concerned with the efficiencies of wind farms and wind generators. If they could become 30-50% more efficient then in fact they would be one of the more favored alternative energies. Each year solar energy finds new technologies to make the solar cell generation more potentially worthy. What if we redesign the wind generators with an additional propeller behind the first on the same stand?

The Popular Types of Renewable Energy

One can’t go far these days without discussions of energy issues arising. Renewable energy sources are part of that discussion, but what exactly are the types available?

Arguments for and Against Generating Wind Power: Alternative Energy Sources and Funding Research

There are major considerations and many differing opinions regarding the potential success of wind power as the ultimate source of energy. Theoretically, if we were to focus enough energy on creating wind farms for the distribution of energy, we could compensate for more than all the electrical power than the world uses today.

Do Ocean Wave Hydro Electric Systems Need Big Waves? No, But it Helps

Most people are not aware that Ocean Wave Generation Stations can operate with small but constant waves. Do Ocean Wave Hydro Electric Systems need Big Waves? No but it helps quite a bit; depending on the design of course. And as you probably know along the United States shore line the Pacific Ocean waves are much bigger than the Atlantic side, which are both many times larger than the Gulf Coast, unless there is a Hurricane of course.

Alternative Energy Innovators; Do Not Kill the Messenger

Not long ago I was discussing the use of a new wind generator system, which would be a huge project in a constantly windy canyon and this giant project would span across the entire canyon. The other day he emailed the Online Think Tank to look at this project, we rendered our findings and discussed the reality of the permitting, EIR legality and bureaucracy barriers. Unfortunately, upon hearing this he went ballistic on us. After calming down he profusely apologized, I sent him an email back;

Making Solar Power Cheaper Through Net Metering

Solar power is a renewable energy source that is extremely popular, but has a cost problem. Net metering is a concept the government is currently using to offset this problem.

The Nanotechnology Solar Cell Revolution

There is little debate that we need to wean ourselves off of fossil fuels, but the costs of renewable energy platforms such as solar make it difficult. Nanotechnology definitely offers the answer.

How to Make Biodiesel Fuel

As the price of gas rises our modern society that is so reliant on petroleum products for its energy needs has started to search for alternative ways to fuel our needs. One option is to make biodiesel, an alternative fuel source we can make right in our own backyards.
