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. The cult was necessary to keep the illiterate peasants awed, taxes high, and money in the government’s coffers. In our times the Vatican and Mecca are exemplars of such a policy but they are dwarfed by the massive industry and copious subsidization which exists around the earth-cult.

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;

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.

Wind Power Grows Massively In US in 2006

Much of the discussion of renewable energy sounds great, but what are the practical numbers? Well, wind power started to show tangible results in 2006 in the US.

Understanding How Wind Turbines Generate Power

Whether we like to admit it or not, we are headed for a double whammy – oil and natural gas are running out. When looking at alternatives, wind power is one of the better choices.

Ocean Waves, Hydro Power Innate to Human Thought; Why?

Some things seem to come naturally to humans, things such as the power of water. Perhaps this is something innate or perhaps it is because as children we see the power of ocean waves that can knock us down? Nevertheless, mankind has been taking advantage of the power of water for many thousands of years. Consider the old mills which used the power of the river to help them in their endeavors?

Using Solar Energy to Generate Hydrogen

With the rising cost - both environmental and economic - of producing fossil based fuels scientists and researchers are looking for new ways to power the world. Hydrogen represents a vast new landscape with huge potential, for powering planet earth into the future. In this article we look at some of the ways scientists are looking at ways to use hydrogen as an energy source.

Nuclear Energy and the Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative (AFCI)

An advanced nuclear fuel cycle would have a number of benefits. It will reduce the volume of existing spent fuel. Currently, spent fuel is being stored in pools at various reactors sites around the U.S. It would also increase the capacity of the storage facility by reducing the amount decay heat generated by the spent fuel. It is predicted that toxic long-lived radioactive components can be destroyed through burning in a nuclear reactor in a process called transmutation.

Let's Do Our Part

With global warming and the depletion of our Earth's resources, we all need to start doing our part to restore the world to it's original beauty and keep it beautiful for our children.

Solar Cells: Three Tiers of Development

Solar cells are said to be one of the largest factors towards creating and sustaining a supple of consistent solar power for smaller to larger appliances etc. To just begin to explain a little more about solar cells and how they work, there are three developmental stages that solar cells have experienced in recent development. This article will describe these devices.

The History of Solar Technology: A Timeline

The sunlight is the source of all solar energy anyone can generate, collect or utilize in any way. There was an Italian physicist named Volta, and from his name came the word voltage. However, the photovoltaic effect of solar energy was only first discovered in the year 1839.

Biodiesel - Save Money & Help The Environment

More and more people choose to use biodiesel as their alternative fuel for their diesel vehicle. There are so many reasons and incentives to use biodiesel instead of petrodiesel. The biodiesel is produced from vegetable oil or animal fat. The vegetable oil has to pass a simple chemical process that is called transesterification in order to become biodiesel.

A Glimpse into the World of Sealed Lead Batteries

Through the years there has been an increase in the use of portable electronic and an electric devices. The need for batteries has grown exponentially.

How Much Natural Gas is Left?

Although oil gets the media attention, natural gas also plays a major role in the energy needs of the world. So, how much natural gas is left in the world? The answer may surprise you.

The Power Within (Fission & Fusion)

This article was created to entertain the idea that we have the ability today to break away from our dependence of oil as the primary source of power. Scientists around the world are working to develop Fusion power technology into reality. I hope you enjoy the article and pass it along to your friends.
