ISR Uranium Mining - A New Method Explained

ISR uranium mining is responsible for nearly all U.S. uranium mining (except for recovery through phosphates). More than 20 percent of global uranium mining now comes from the in situ recovery method, predominantly through In Situ Leach (ISL) mining in Kazakhstan and in Australia. Because of the large number of ISR uranium projects on the horizon within the next ten years, both in the United States, Kazakhstan and Australia, the in situ (ISR) uranium mining method will provide U.S and global utilities with tens of millions of pounds of newly mined uranium by 2020.

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.

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.

Alternative Energy Nonsense

The Romans and Greeks built illustrious temples to various Gods not only as places of awe-inspiring worship but also to collect money from tourists and pilgrims.

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.
