We might believe that the UK is not that sunny, but it depends on your locale; North Scotland might be wintry more than it is sunny, and the south coast of England might be the reverse. In reality the UK receives approximately 60% of the sun that the equator receives. When it comes to using Solar Energy Panels, these can …

In 2006, thousands of electric cars were destroyed by the companies that built them. Today, less than five years later, the electric car is back...with a vengeance.

“It matters not to a driver what powers his vehicle when he presses down on the accelerator pedal.” Johnson added. “Any power system that provides adequate mobile power economically when that pedal is pressed will satisfy his needs. All of the new systems could replace fossil fuels as the prime energy source for our nation and even the world. We need to develop an entirely new and more efficient means of generating, transporting, storing and using energy that will generate profitable domestic business, good jobs and stop the hemorrhaging of billions of American dollars to nations that hate us.”

Solar energy for homes is certainly a plausible possibility with present-day levels of technological know-how. Ease of access to the materials necessary to switch from conventional power options (the electricity company) to a healthy alternative through replenishable sources like using solar power panels to produce electrical energy has arrived. People that find themselves handy using a drill and a saw …

Arman Tyler asked: Electric toy cars for children can be a whole lot of fun! Children think these are fun and they like to ride them around the garden and maybe up hallways indoors. It is a joy for any parent to watch a child learn to ride their electric toy cars around the house and the garden; they seem …

The 12,600-panel array will produce enough power to meet approximately 40% of the annual electricity needs at Depot Park, the former Sacramento Army Depot. The installation is one of the largest ground mounted-tracking solar projects in California and the only one located at a Superfund Site within a redeveloped military facility.

There’s a lot of energy that we can harness if we only attempt to research and develop the technologies needed to do so. We will escape from the fossil fuels and the old electrical grids by turning to alternate choices to these energy sources. One of those alternate energy resources is wind energy. Air turbines continue to be developed that …

The Department of Energy, through the Loan Programs Office, has issued loan guarantees or offered conditional commitments for loan guarantees totaling over $18 billion to support 20 clean energy projects across 14 states.

Dick Jonson asked: Nowadays global warming and the scarcity of fossil fuels are rarely out of the media. Some people carry on hoping that government will come up with some sort of solution, others don’t really care and then a few people are wondering, “how can I help reduce global warming?” One of the most obvious answers to this question …

The new stadium, which will replace 57-year-old Fouts Field, is designed by award-winning architects HKS Sports & Entertainment Group (www.hksinc.com), the firm that designed the new Dallas Cowboys stadium. The UNT System will be seeking LEED Gold or Platinum certification. If the project is awarded LEED Platinum, it will be the first of its type to achieve this rating in the country.

Mike Drabble asked: Though mankind has harnessed the wind for centuries to produce energy, interest in this method of power generation has recently intensified as a result of both increases in conventional energy costs and the debate over the extent of humanity’s responsibility for climate change. Policy-makers and generating companies are considering the extent to which wind power can serve …

Terry Bolton asked: There are yearly contests for engineering students, as well as high school students that can enter their electric car designs that promote the development of this automotive technology. Despite the fact the electric auto has been manufactured, and forgotten there is a continuous push for more optimal designs that can utilize battery or solar power to move …

Daniel Collins asked: The increasing concern about the state of the environment has seen gas-guzzling automobiles become a target of much dispute. It’s no secret that the carbon-emissions being pumped into the environment every second by diesel-driven cars is having a major detrimental effect, which is why solutions like electric cars are becoming more popular. Electric cars offer transport driven …

Robert Park asked: The greatest thing about Wind Power Electricity is that it’s a renewable source of energy which throughout its life cycle only produces minimal units of carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, this energy is said to be one of the most viable options for energy that has great potential to grow rapidly, both globally and locally. Since the wind …

For years, countries around the world have to depend on oil in order to operate their vehicles. With news that the oil fields in the middle east will soon be depleted which has driven the sale of oil prices, others are now thinking about the future and more are converting water to gas as an alternative solution. One product that …

  Now that is has been said and has already been done, there is currently the technology to fuel cars with water and here are some tips how to make the most out of water for gas. Isn’t it good to know that cars can now run with water added to the current conventional fuelling process to help motorists save …

That is, until I started going to my friends’ houses to play and for sleepovers. “Where do you put your cans?” I would ask my peers, only to be met with blank stares- as if I was a fool for even asking. My mother was soon faced with the difficult task of explaining why we recycle, even though it requires extra work and we aren’t required to do it.

A compiling of different influential factors in western society has thrown a new word into the regular verbiage of English speakers around the world. The word itself isn’t anything new in terms of speech or meaning but we’ve all been affected by its dramatic influence on society today. “Green” is the topic at hand; the simple color that has been …

Larry Bauge asked: For many years the electric cars dc batteries have seen several design tests to check out different theories. Back then prototypes were typically built to test the system designs and make adjustments before offering the final product up for sale. Today we have costly gas and great battery technology which has actually piqued the interest in electric …
