ZapRoot Snippy well produced video full of info about the green energy world. Check it out. Here is the rundown on Zaproot from the ViroPop website: Okay, let’s get this straight. ViroPop is NOT a new virus-flavored soda. And ZapRoot is not a show about bombarding plants with laser beams. What is ViroPop then? Well, you could think of it …

Watch and see what you think. [youtube pXyJrFKwjrc solar energy breakthrough]

There is lots of talk about making our homes more energy efficient and adding solar to existing structures. Well John Kosmer discovered that this was not the way to go and to prove it he built his own house using passive solar to prove it. Nice work john. We need good examples to look up to in this day and …

The continent Australia can be seen as having the unluckiest hand in the geological draw. Instead of being a part of Pangea, the large mass that other continents broke off from millions of years ago, Australia was part of a super-continent situated closely to the South Pole, Gwondanaland. It has experienced a drift over the past millennia, but to a …

Solar energy is energy derived from the sun. Solar energy, as well as well as other natural resources such as wind and wave power, is a readily available and renewable form of energy. This natural energy has been harvested in various ways for centuries, though only recently has technology allowed modern conveniences such as heating, lighting, electricity and flight to …

There is growing interest in the development of biodiesel fuel as more and more positive benefits are found for this alternative fuel source. It’s not that it’s just a good alternative to our reliance on imported oil but it is also been shown to have a positive impact on our own health and the environment as a whole. The first …

Biodiesel is an inexpensive, environmentally friendly source of energy. These benefits have sparked the public’s interest in using this to fuel their cars. This increased interest has motivated many new companies and hobbyists to become producers and sellers of this new fuel. As with any other product, producers and sellers must meet certain regulations and, in addition, are encouraged to …

Solar attic fan is the ultimate simple and cost effective solution for a well known problem that many home owners are facing every day. Moisture and mold destroys slowly but effectively the house infrastructure. Solar attic fan can fight this irritating problem. You are well familiar with the fact that hot air is lighter then cold air and therefore goes …

The global demand for more environmentally friendly options for fuel, energy and food continues to grow and this growth is only expected to continue as concern about climate change increases. With this growth, more and better options for solar lighting are coming to the marketplace. Whether you need lighting for inside or outside your home, there are excellent, practical solar …

With technology come cords. With cords comes dependence on electricity and the utility companies that monopolize our energy supply. It has been this way since the dawn of the modern electric utility in the 1880’s. To the modern brain the concept of free energy, on a large scale, is ludicrous if not highly improbable. An Irish company called Steorn has …

As the demand for energy continues to grow, the world is looking to diversify energy platforms. Solar power is mentioned continually, but is it really viable? If you step back form the debate on energy sources, you’ll realize something quickly. Solar energy is already the vastly dominant source of energy we use. It just comes in a form we don’t …

Over half of the homes in the United States use natural gas to heat their homes. Natural gas is environmentally clean. It is the cleanest burning fossil fuel. Very few by products are emitted into the air as pollutants. For hundreds of years natural gas has been known as a very useful substance. Natural gas is one of the cheapest …

Another price rise announcement by a utilities company could place Britons under increased financial pressure, it has been suggested. Earlier this month, ScottishPower stated that gas and electricity costs on its standard tariff are to increase by 15 and 14 per cent. Resulting in bills rising by 89 pounds and 53 pounds respectively, uSwitch reported that the moves will affect …

Natural gas consumption usually rises and falls with the seasons. In the winter months, we historically have used a lot more natural gas for heating. We are trending towards using natural gas for electricity, in addition to heat. Therefore, we are using more and more natural gas year round. Spikes in the summer are becoming more common than ever now …

Whether you are concerned about global warming, or whether you are concerned about the national security implications of our dependence on imported oil, getting our civilization un-hooked from its addiction to fossil fuels is an issue that everyone should be able to agree on. And it should also be clear to anyone who is awake that waiting around for government …

The benefits of solar energy are great, before you understand of solar energy; you need to know about solar energy and the process of harnessing this energy. There have two different categories of solar energy: thermal and light. Thermal energy is more commonly used and is the energy that is used to passively heat buildings through the use of certain …

[widget:ad_unit-1248729112]Gas and electricity prices have risen considerably over the past 5 years and this has lead to certain members of Parliament believe that companies are changing the way they provide energy to significantly increase prices. The market has seen a rise of 60% during the last 5 years and customers are demanding answers. Recent price increases are making finding cheap …

Over the past couple of decades, we’ve seen an increasing demand for alternate forms of energy. This demand has led to the proliferation of wind farms across North America. It really is hard not to be optimistic about the potential benefits wind energy can provide. However, with the increasing cost of manufacturing and the lack of investment in technology we …

European energy company E.ON has reported losses this month so far, due to the falling prices of crude oil. With all the panic at the beginning of the year are we finally seeing some much needed price drops for energy? More: continued here
