Solar Energy Around Your Home

You may be surprised to learn how solar energy extraction has been around for over 100 years, and during the industrial revolution, the sun was used to produce steam which would then drive turbines generating power. This article explores how we are able to provide an efficient, steady stream of electricity into our homes, through the use of solar panels and their new technologies.

Looking to the Ocean for Energy

As fossil fuels become a more limited resource, society is casting around for new energy sources. Interestingly, a lot of interest in the ocean as an energy platform is starting to be generated.

Energy Conservation: Why It's So Important

As someone that has to pay bills each month, you already know the importance of energy conservation. There is no way for you to have not noticed that your bills have been increasing. It has happened and is one thing that you just should consider doing. But, energy conservation is not always something that is on our minds. If you find yourself only thinking about it when the bills for the month arrive, then you may be missing the boat.

Collecting EM Energy from the Magnetic Field of Mother Earth

Is it indeed possible to collect some of the electro magnetic energy coming of our planet as it hurls through the solar system in this bubble traveling thru deep space? The Online Think Tank believes it is and it is a common topic of conversation too. Not longer than a decade ago the coordinator for the Online Think Tank came up with this idea after reading about the energy tail collection device, which almost electrocuted the Space Shuttle.

Conserve Fuel Pass a 55 MPH Speed Limit on All Vehicles Over 6,000 Pounds Gross Weight

My husband and I moved from California to North Carolina in December 2002, it wasn't until then we could appreciate the 55 MPH law for truck traffic that we had taken for granted. After spending a few hours on the road on Interstate 40 outside of California we soon realized one of the two things we would grow to miss about the state.

Finding Locations Near the Ocean for Desalination and Ocean Wave Generation Plants

Hypothetically speaking, lets say you have plans to build a huge infrastructure project to both product energy from Ocean Wave Motion and use that energy to power up a desalination plant. Good idea right? Well yes our Online Think Tank agrees so you are in good company with your kudos for such a concept.

Why It's Critical to Upgrade to Solar Power Now That You Can

The promise of solar power has been coming for years but has remained just out of reach for most of us. Now that’s all changing... and just in time. As the global energy demand continues to increase, and the cost of oil, gas, and coal continue to soar, there is an increasing urgency in our need to upgrade our nation to solar power. The sun supplies enough energy to earth in one hour to supply all of our energy needs for an entire year! But solar power currently produces less than 1% of our residential energy needs. It's time to change this.

China Taking the Lead In Renewable Energy

There is little doubt that China is a country coming into its own. With a massive population, the country is starting to wake up and grow economically. Of course, it needs power to make that happen.

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.

LED Lighting is Energy Efficient and the Technology is Out of this World

In the future hopefully mankind will save energy by using more LED Lighting. You see, LED Lighting is Energy Efficient and the technology is out of this World. Why make such a bold statement of facts and make Thomas Edison with his tungsten look so awfully antiquated?

Natural Gas - Britain Nearing End of Self Sufficiency

With Britain reliant on diminishing natural gas supplies and renewable energy sources only expected to shoulder a small percentage of the energy demand, an energy crisis is imminent.

High Costs, Waste Issues Stall Nuclear Renaissance

The environmental lobby is forcing some utilities to pass along the licensing costs for new nuclear power plants to the utility's consumer. Not small change either. According to an S&P analyst, the permitting costs could run as high as $2.5 billion per nuclear plant.

Archimedes Screw, Ocean Waves and Fieldstone Energy

Humankind appears to be up against either a political rock or a Climate Crisis hard place or both. Yes, I speak of the Global Warming debate, which pits the flows of civilizations against a changing planet with plenty of Billionaires on both sides and in many nations participating in a tug of war and power struggle. But in all of this debate one cannot help but apply common sense to it all.
