If you think back to the not-so-distant past you can remember a time where society was technologically deficient. There was no such thing as a computer, let alone the Internet, and the thought of taking a picture of a person then transmitting the image through a phone within seconds was unheard of. However, times have evolved just as humans have. …

[tag]Alternative energy [/tag]is sweeping the nation, and the world, as today’s biggest environmental topic. Alternative energy topics no longer revolve around nuclear energy for electricity, but also include the use of products such as Ethanol in cars. It is important to learn what alternative energy is, how it works, and the different types to stay on top of environmental legislations …

One of the hot topics right now is alternative energy solutions, or, “green” energy. Here are three alternative energy solutions, the benefits, and how they work. More: continued here

Everybody’s talking about the power of Hydrogen. What they don’t tell you is that Hydrogen cars with their pressurized hydrogen, and hydrogen gas stations – are a BIG safety hazard. It gets worse: hydrogen factories pollute the environment and spoil the ecological advantage of hydrogen cars. The solution Water Fuel provides you with is called “Hydrogen-On-Demand” – you produce Hydrogen …

The search and attempt to harness the infinite power and energy of the sun has challenged man’s ingenuity to experiment various ways of tapping into this powerful source of power. The history of solar has its origins back to the 7th century B.C. right up to the 20 A.D. we have records of the development of solar technology from the …

Many researchers believe that harnessing the power of the atom in fission reactions is the most significant alternative energy resource that we have, for the fact of the immense power that it can generate. Nuclear power plants are very clean-burning and their efficiency is rather staggering. More: continued here

Is buying energy saving lights and appliances really going help us decrease the number of generating facilities we require to provide us with the energy we need now and in the future? More: continued here

Residential wind power works by having a wind turbine attached to the top of a tall tower so that it can collect kinetic energy and change it into electricity so that it may work with your homes electrical system. Wind turbines will have out put if the wind power is over 7 to 10 mph if not then the power …

How natural gas is distributed in the United States. The natural gas industry is an extremely important commodity in the energy sector of the U.S. economy.

First it was companies poking around and looking for places to stake their claim on the possible use of [tag-tec]ocean waves[/tag-tec] to create energy. Now it is a whole county in CA that wants to lock up its shoreline and ocean territory for miles out to sea in order to protect its right to develop [tag]wave energy[/tag] technology. Yes it …

When natural gas is cooled at normal pressure to about -260°F, it condenses into a liquid form known as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). LNG takes up about one six hundredth the volume of gaseous natural gas making it very efficient to transport. When it is necessary to transport natural gas energy to stranded or mountainous destinations, shipping it as LNG …

Demand for a car that would be economical to run and one that would not pollute the atmosphere has resulted in the development of the Hybrid car. Vast strides made in the recent past in gasoline engine technology, has made the Hybrid car a popular reality. A [tag]Hybrid car[/tag] is a vehicle that uses two power sources, a rechargeable energy …

Did you know that solar power is a renewable, clean and cheap source of energy? Once the mystique is removed from the idea of using solar energy to produce power people will began to understand how it all works. This will lead to people seeing how using solar energy to produce power can be looked at as a viable alternative …

Of the fossil fuels, natural gas is the cleanest source of energy to use for many of our every day needs and activities. It plays an important part in reducing pollution so that a clean and healthy environment can be maintained. Because of its almost perfect combustion process, very few byproducts are emitted into the atmosphere as pollutants. The environmentally …
