The G8 Gleneagles Summit in Scotland two years ago asked the World Bank to produce a roadmap for accelerating investments in clean energy for the developing world, in cooperation with the other international financial institutions. More: continued here

The ongoing discussion about energy is one that can be polarizing. So, just what is the advantage of alternative energy over fossil fuels? More: continued here

American manufacturers have been directly affected by rising energy cost. This article suggest purchasing strategies to reduce energy consumption and costs. More: continued here

The world is quickly moving into a different age of energy consumption. With tensions in the Middle East growing daily, the importance of developing new fuels is becoming ever-important. When you must rely almost completely on other countries for your energy needs, many other problems arise. You then become dependent on them. More: continued here

China is growing economically in leaps and bounds, which means it needs energy. Jumping into the solar power industry, it is both producing systems cheaply and using them. More: continued here

Hydrogen fuel cells, biomass gases, solar collectors, solar hot water systems, heat storage vaults, photovoltaic electricity, solar panels, solar greenhouses and solar house plans will are all part of the growing trend toward homes that are powered by alternative energy sources. We as individual also face the need of becoming more energy independent from giant energy companies. More: continued here

A basic understanding of some of the most popular renewable and natural energy methods can be found here.There are many different natural energy sources out there, some of which are more powerful than others, whereas others are more reliable in delivering a much greater output. We shall now take a look at some of the main renewable energy sources. More: …

Solar energy is the earliest source of energy known to mankind, and is also the origin of other forms of energy used by man. Other renewable sources of energy, such as, wind energy, hydro power, biomass and ocean energy are the indirect forms of solar energy. Solar energy has many salient features, which make it an attractive proposition. These features …

In the past decade, cement plants have made concerted efforts in the area of optimizing energy consumption and succeeded in bring down the specific consumption from the level of over 100 electrical units per ton to less than 80 units. For coal the figure is down from 750 kilocalories to less than 600. This has been done by some logical …

Very practical and cheap energy for the World. More: continued here

While the amount of new technologies and infrastructures that need to be developed and built is staggering, corporation after corporation is springing up around the world, helped by various governments’ tax breaks and rebate incentives, to drive forward the alternative energy mission.

Geothermal energy is a Greek term used to described the heating of the earth. There are two main sources of this heating of the earth. The correct source for geothermal energy is the earths core, where temperatures are estimated to be between 3000 and 5000 degrees Celsius. The source for the variant of geothermal energy is the sun, where the …

You may be surprised to learn how solar energy extraction has been around for over 100 years, and during the industrial revolution, the sun was used to produce steam which would then drive turbines generating power. This article explores how we are able to provide an efficient, steady stream of electricity into our homes, through the use of solar panels …

Heating costs continue to rise annually, with natural disasters and the war in Iraq as to main contributing factors. There are steps you can take to lower your home heating and energy costs. More: continued here

Low energy light bulbs have been around for many years now and are relatively cheap to buy. The overall savings to be had by using them make these the ideal replacement bulbs for any room in your house. More: continued here

Why is alternative energy good for our environment? Alternative energy is classified as a clean energy that produces little to none of the hazardous emissions that come from other energy sources like burning coal or wood. More: continued here

Water energy is a renewable energy source, and is primarily used to generate electricity in the modern era through a process called hydroelectric generation, where the flow of the water runs a turbine, which is used to drive a generator. The United States is one of the world leaders in hydroelectric power generation, getting nearly 10% of its total power …

Well, according to Energystar: “If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR [compact fluorescent bulb], we would save enough energy to light more than 2.5 million homes for a year and prevent greenhouse gasses equivalent to the emissions of nearly 800,000 cars.” More: continued here

The government is on a mission to improve the UK’s energy security and reduce carbon emissions. Almost 40% of the UK’s energy is used in the heating, lighting and operation of our homes. With 25 million homes in the UK, even small improvements across the market can have a significant overall impact. More: continued here

In the past few years, China has posted an impressive growth in the production of {tag]solar cells[/tag]. In a span of just 2-3 years (nearly form 2003 to 2005), China fortified its position in the worldwide solar cell production market by moving from nearly 1.05% to about 7.8%, according to a recent report “China Energy Sector Analysis” by RNCOS.
