The use of Solar and wind power is becoming more and more common, and in demand. As we move forward, we are learning it is not just about humanity we need to take care of, but also nature and our environment. As you read this article, you will discover more about solar and wind power.
As […]
Typically, green represents the deadly sin of envy, but with the media’s help it now also stands for hypocrisy.
In this case, the hypocrisy is media promotion of buying carbon offsets - giving a donation to an energy-saving project as penance for guzzling gas or jetting off to an exotic location. With Al Gore, Hollywood and […]
This article shows how the UK can achieve a 60% reduction on the total year 2000 CO2 emissions, i.e. to reduce the emission of CO2 in the UK to 40% of the 2000 emissions. It describes the development of an integrated energy system for the UK which will enable renewable energy systems in conjunction with […]
I remember when we decided to build a homemade wind generator. It was after we had went looking around at the commercially available wind generators and found that they were way to expensive to buy on our tiny budget. We were looking for a model that could produce 1000 watts and our jaws dropped when […]
Most people assume that homemade wind generators are very difficult to build. A couple years ago I would have agreed with you. I mean they look very hard to build with those fancy blades spinning atop of their tower. After seeing the price of the commercially available models we quickly decided that no matter what […]
It seems like yesterday when we decided to take the plunge into off grid living. In fact it’s been well over 16 years now. We’re a little different from most people who live on renewable energy though in the fact that we did our entire conversion for a very low cost. To start out with […]
Earthquakes can be scary, and if you are not properly prepared, they could be deadly too. The one thing that you will need to think about if you live near a fault line or even in a place where you can get an earthquake only every fifty years, you will want to be prepared with […]
There are several ways of making hydrogen in the UK. The cheapest way is to convert natural gas into hydrogen by a process called reformation. Reforming natural gas into hydrogen produces CO2 but no more than burning it. However, using the hydrogen in a hydrogen fuelcell or using the natural gas itself in a natural […]
This article illustrates the potential of hydrogen based energy systems. We want to show you that if the world chooses to follow the hydrogen road then all the basic technology is available now, we are not waiting for research breakthroughs.
The cost of changing to a hydrogen-powered world will not be excessive, especially if the external […]
In this article, we shall explore information to provide an answer to the question; what is geothermal energy? We hope this source will be suitable for educational reference to both adults and teenagers.
Geothermal heat sources are used in a variety of ways across our world today, from geothermal power plants, to geothermal hot water systems, […]
