		<title>Energy Storage – Essential to Renewable Energy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Electric energy storage has becoming a more dominant topic of the overall energy management discussion primarily because of the:

Increased production of electric vehicles being plugged into outlets for recharging every evening,
Advent of net-zero homes, and
Expansion of intermittent solar and wind generation into the mainstream of energy supply options.

As these factors begin to take on greater [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gasoline Consumption in the U.S.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Petroleum is used in everything from medications to lubricants, partially explaining its high usage in the U.S.’s heavily driven consumer economy. According to the EIA, the U.S. consumes approximately 21 million barrels of oil daily, the majority of which is refined into gasoline. To put this in perspective the U.S. consumes more gasoline than South [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pricing of Gasoline</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gasoline remains a primary commodity in U.S. consumers maintaining their current quality of life, to the point where severe price fluctuations have devastating impact to the American economy, the lifestyles of its people, and the politicians. The typical person observes and is impacted by these seemingly random changes in price, but has little, if any, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Energy Efficiency &#8211; Home Appliances</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Though often taken for granted, home appliances exist to allow us to operate more efficiently on a day-to-day basis. And, though not critical to our well-being, they definitely save us time and labor, but questionable as to whether they save us money. Even those refrigerators, microwaves and dishwashers that come with energy and money-saving features [...]]]></description>

		<title>Introduction to Nuclear Fusion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the debate around the viability of nuclear power continues, particularly as the reality of the limitations of renewable energy sources become better understood, the advantages of fusion become ever more apparent:

Abundance of the primary fuel, deuterium, which is one of the hydrogen isotopes. It can be readily extracted from seawater and tritium, another of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Introduction to Micro Grids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the increased importance of electricity in our day-to-day lives and overall economic prosperity, the notion of depending on outdated, centralized power grids that inefficiently deliver power and occasionally fails to meet basic needs for power may be insufficient, if not outdated. This has brought about the application of localized power grids, as part of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Extraterrestrial Energy – Moon or Sun Power</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The search for viable forms of clean alternative energy continues as each potential solution carries with it significant shortcomings:

Nuclear power presents environmental challenges, in the disposition of high and low level radioactive waste or in the event of a nuclear accident (e.g. Chernobyl),
The sun can be impacted by the presence of clouds,
Winds are inconsistent or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Soy–Based Insulation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Soy is both renewable and sustainable, two qualities that make it an ideal alternative for addressing a number of energy-related challenges. According to the United Soybean Board, Americans used 450 million gallons of soy-based diesel fuel in 2007, a nine-fold increase over the previous five year period. Consequently, the thought of extending soy for building [...]]]></description>

		<title>Introduction to Ocean Power</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The scientific community remains intrigued by the prospect of harnessing the energy of the ocean, if for no other reason than the fact that oceans covers over 70 percent of the earth’s surface. A few successes have been experienced in this area:

Tidal power plant in France, designed to produce 240 MW, which is larger than [...]]]></description>

		<title>Customer Acceptance of the Smart Grid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Significant investments have already been made in designing and constructing an electric grid that is automated, managed, and controlled by information and communications technologies. Thus far, the approach has been to place these enabling capabilities on top of a relatively aged and obsolete infrastructure, somewhat offsetting the potential advantages to be realized by the electric [...]]]></description>
