Seven Billion People on Earth- Energy Usage

The world population is growing like wildfire. Now, seven billion people live on earth. The most interesting fact is that if everyone on earth lived the way the United States lived that they would need five earths to maintain all the usage. Energy usage and consumption is horrible in the United States. One is never satisfied with what they have can always buying more than one needs. Please think...

U.S. railroads map- save energy

The U.S. railroads are stuck in the past. If you look at the rest of the world they’re light years ahead of the United States. Why is the United States so behind? New railroads will save energy and connect the cities...

Renewable Energy – Info on the Different Sources, Resources, Credits, Systems of Renewable Energy and Related Education and Jobs, Comparison Between Renewable and Non Renewable Energies, and What the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the Other Parts of the World are Doing to Improve Energy Efficiency

Image via Wikipedia When Did We Start Using Renewable Energy Sources? It is said that we started to use renewable energy when our ancestors learned how to produce fire using wood. Other than burning wood, they have at their disposal the other natural resources for their energy needs. Sources like water, sun, wind and geothermal heat were already being taken advantage of. The sun being the most...

Solar Energy – Facts About What It Is, How It Works, Its Pros And Cons, And Solar Power Panels And Systems Used By Companies And The Residential Sector

Image via Wikipedia What is Solar Energy? Solar energy, by definition, is an alternative energy source which uses the bright light of the sun and converts it to electricity. It is much the same with wind and water energy source but the only difference is where and how it gathers the power. Due to technology and science, it has become easier for companies and houses to acquire this source of...

Basic Electricity

Electricity use and economic growth are absolutely correlated bringing to question the dynamics regarding controversy when the price of electricity inevitably rises. Our view is that the source of this controversy is a general lack of knowledge on the part of the average electricity consumer. Recognizing this, we refer our readers to the following website where the basics of electricity are...

Clean Coal – The Only Viable Solution

The use of coal presents a real dilemma to the power industry. According to statistics compiled by the Energy Information Administration, it generates almost half of the electricity in the U.S., yet it is globally recognized as a primary contributor to global warming, the cause for acid rain and a general pollutant. Thus, elimination of coal as a primary source of fuel, though encouraged by many...

Electric Vehicles – Pros and Cons

Electric Vehicles offer significant advantages including energy efficiency (reducing dependence on fuel), reduced carbon emissions, quiet and low maintenance. That said, there are a number of challenges that require resolution, all related to the battery (i.e. driving range, battery cost and the time/logistics required to recharge). The following link provides interesting insights and...

Wind Power is for the Birds

The Basics of Wind Power Wind energy generates mechanical power or electricity via a wind turbine. The actual power can be channeled to basic mechanical tasks, or a generator, which in turn, turns the mechanical power into electricity. As a renewable resource, wind is among the top technologies involved in providing renewable energy, projected in 1990 to offset billions of pounds of carbon...
