In today's economy it is difficult enough to pay the bills and get the things done that we have to. If you have a house and pay an electric bill there is one change that you can make for the better. Instead of having to pay the utility companies and getting an electric bill during a recession, you can have them pay you. How great would that be? During recessions and depressions, there are certain industries that always do well and make money because their product or service is always needed no matter what happens in the economy. So well in fact, that the certain industries and certain stocks can almost be predicted. (ask Warren Buffet, or read one of his books) Other than things like[..]

We are looking for an across-the-board solution for our present exorbitant consumption ofgasoline and it seems as though there is none, at least for the present. We are looking at Ethanol additive to our present gasoline formulas, but this will only give us better milesper gallon and of course, much cleaner bi-products with its use. Ethanol becomes a temporaryfix...at best. The reason, of course is the need for the corn base sugars(and other similarsugar and starch crops) to produce it. It is a simple deduction that it will eventuallybegin to deplete the food stock of our nation and also hurt our exports of these grains. Wecould, with the anticipated increase in need of our corn crop,[..]

When we think of the modern military we know we are envisioning a highly technical entity. The military tends to be the first group to understand, use and implement some of the most modern discoveries. This is true particularly where solar power is concerned. It is put to use on almost every piece of mobile equipment from tanks to jeeps. Some contemporary soldiers are outfitted and equipped with foldable solar panels (some with them built directly into field gear such as jackets) that can power small portable devices such as GPS units and even cell or satellite telephones. The modern military also uses solar technologies for less complex functions, such as solar powered floodlights used[..]

Solar power kits: are used for a wide variety of applications including charge batteries to power lights, tools, phones and other equipment, pump and purify water, and of course for the production of electricity by residential and commercial systems.

> The recent Wall Street disaster reminds us that citizens cannot trust industry. Greed has invaded the most profitable companies to an unacceptable and destructive degree. US citizens must consider the banking crisis as a wake up call for preventing the oil and energy industries from creating an even more destructive energy catastrophe. We must outlaw fossil fuels and begin to produce renewable fuels for keeping the US secure. We are experiencing right now what unbridled greed can do to a hardworking country. The effects of Wall Street's fraud are becoming very painful for the working stiff, who have no choice but to entrust the results of their life's toils to our country's banks.[..]

In a recent interview with CNBC, Warren Buffett made a chilling statement for most of the people associated with the home building industry. Mr. Buffet said, "If you want to end the recession as soon as possible, you do nothing to encourage new housing construction." I understand Mr. Buffett's solution to balance supply and demand for new households before adding more homes to an already struggling market. But, being a recent victim of the "no new construction" economy, I can think of better ways of stimulating the economy without a "no new construction mandate." The solution can be found in that every suffering domestic car industry. It seems there are a lot of cars on the road that are[..]

Energy Sources are very important for all of us. We all need different types of energy in our daily life to perform different tasks. We get energy from different natural resources like coal, petroleum, and electricity. Again, electricity comes from different sources hydro-electricity, thermal electricity and some alternate sources of energy like electricity from solar energy. Alarming Situation of Natural Energy Sources Stock Natural sources of energy are limited because of their limited stock. It takes several years in formation of natural energy sources but if the consumption of energy sources will be too more (like in current situation) than the rate of their formation, they will not[..]

It's easy to understand why states like California and Texas might opt for clean, renewable solar energy to replace fossil-fuel electricity generation. Each has large areas of solar insolation whose values approach 5.5 (on a scale of 2.0 to 9.0 in the continental United States). Wisconsin, at 2.5 - with a peak of 3.5 - is harder to imagine. Yet Wisconsin is the only state in the union other than California and Texas to have two major cities included in the Solar America Cities program; Milwaukee and Madison. The Solar America Cities program is an initiative of the U.S. Department of Energy, which aims to see accelerated adoption of solar energy technologies to create a cleaner, more[..]

Is this science fiction, or is it reality? Imagine this. You are in a city of 40,000 people. There are no cars as such. It is an almost exclusively pedestrian environment. There are no carbon emissions. Every single thing is powered by some form of renewable energy such as solar electricity, or solar heated water and so on. The oppressive heat of the day is blocked out to a large extent by giant umbrellas which resemble huge flowers opening as the day warms up. The very ground which you are walking on is cooled by water flowing just beneath. The air is amazingly clear due to the complete lack of emissions. You have access to a full complement of the finest stores and malls. There is a[..]

Have you been watching the news lately? If you have then you know that everybody is raving about our energy future. It seems every day we here about a new hybrid or electric car. Heck even in some cases we here about a solar powered concept car. With all of this being said the bottom line is we all want a car that gets better gas mileage and can save us money. The question I ask is why stop there. Do you know that you can apply these same techniques to your homes energy bill? Now I'm not saying that we need a fancy hybrid motor or anything like that installed in our attic. That would cost way too much money and to be honest I don't think that such of a thing even exists. What I am[..]

Most people are not aware of geothermal energy, how it works, and the role it will play in our energy future. Although it is one of the lesser known renewable energy sources it is still a viable alternative. In both the Philippines and Iceland nearly a quarter of all energy produced is geothermal electricity. These countries have shown that such systems are completely feasible and in fact quite efficient. Electricity is generated by extracting water from underground which has been heated by magma. This water is then run next to pipes containing a fluid with a lower boiling point than the water. The water causes the fluid to boil turning it into a vapor which then powers turbines. These[..]

-- End Ad Box ---> In Kingston, Ontario, Canada, lies the well known, research-intensive, Queen's University, which began in 1841. On April 14, 2010, a detailed report was released to the public which disclosed the findings of two unique studies conducted by the Queen’s University Applied Sustainability Research Group. This Research Group claims that if you took the combined power of all of the nuclear reactors in the United States, the southeastern portion of Ontario quite possibly has the potential to generate the same amount of power using only solar energy power. Now that’s a very bold statement, don’t you think? Queen's Mechanical Engineering Department, led by[..]

Several years ago I was working as a project manager on a software integration project and I had the wonderful opportunity to welcome a new person to my team. He had an interesting background and was full of great stories he willingly shared in the slow moments that our big project was filled with. But, one story has stuck with me over the years - the story about the new guy only working half days. My coworker had retired from the Marines and he shared with me that whenever anew Marine would join his unit fresh out of boot camp, his sergeant would call thetroops together and introduce the new member of the unit to everyone. Near theend of the introductory speech, the sergeant would[..]
