Well I think the age of alternative energy fueled cars is really starting to take shape. We now have major league coverage of announcement touting the Greenest Cars of the year. Imagine that. Just a few short years ago there were no such things as alternative energy cars. Or only in the labs of universities or companies at least. Now it is becoming normal to sell a hybrid in amongst the rest of the gasoline fueled cars made by the major carmakers around the world. Now they are beating the bush to innovate.

A standard NiMH charger will help prevent overcharging and allow for maximum capacity of charge for Talk time. Now with the NEW NiMH technology, overcharging can almost now be a thing of the past. MAHA C777 Universal Charger available to charge most of your Cellular Phone Batteries. Now there is absolutely no reason to use NiCad batteries any more. NiMH …

When many people think of German, they think of a large oil based industrial nation. In truth, Germany is a leader in wind energy. Here is a guide to [tag]wind energy[/tag] in Germany. Wind Energy – Germany When looking at countries that use wind energy, Germany tops them all. The worlds largest wind energy producing country, Germany has pioneered the …

Excitement Limited offers the steps and methods through an educational guide to convert all type of engines to utilize biodiesel. With this new informative guide, users can break their dependence on fossil fuels and produce their own fuel for half the cost. London, UK (PRWEB) December 8, 2006 — As a result of over dependence on foreign oil, and rising …

As we strive to find alternative energy resources, many potential solutions are on the table. Biomass energy is one such solution or is it? Biomass energy is unique in that it has existed in primitive forms since the early days of mankind. Burning wood in a cave is a form of biomass energy, which is simply the conversion of an …

We try to present a balanced view of the emerging alternative energy technologies on our pages. That means taking a critical eye to the science and tech of what is behind those options. I found a good article today that talks about hydrogen fuel cell technology and why the writer does not think it has viability in the near term.

Biodiesel production, distribution, and use, as with many emerging alternative energies, has been aided in large part by recent government incentives making biodiesel fuel production and distribution more attractive. These tax incentives put money back in the pockets of biodiesel producers who, presumably, pass the benefits on to you, the consumer, with lower biodiesel prices. Not just any biodiesel is …

With massive energy consumption rates, California is in a perpetual energy supply and demand struggle. The state is looking to solar as an alternative and Los Angeles just made it more attractive. Los Angeles Re-Starts Solar Incentives for Homeowners As the rolling blackouts each summer can attest, California is a state with major energy problems. The problem is so bad …

As a freshman in high school, I failed chemistry class due to an extreme disinterest in the entire subject. I do recall a demonstration in which the teacher hooked a large one and a half volt battery to a glass and wire electrolyzer that transformed water into separated hydrogen and oxygen. I would later learn that commercial hydrogen and oxygen producers also used this method in an inefficient manner that requires more energy than the fuel produced can generate through combustion.

One of the worlds fastest growing types of renewable energy sources is wind energy. While most of the Earth is still reliant on different types of fossil fuels (such as oil, natural gas and coal) for their energy supply, many countries are trying to come up with alternative methods of obtaining energy. Much of Europe has begun to build and use wind farms, which are groupings of wind turbines that harness the energy of the wind in order to create energy and electricity. Also involved in using wind energy, USA has started to build their own wind farms.

Have you thought about going to bio diesel for your car? Thinking green but not sure how to go about it?

When you combine the cost of fossil fuels with the pollution and climate problems they create, it can all get a bit overwhelming. It is easy to find oneself wondering where to start when dealing with these problems. Given the state of fear attitude portrayed in most media, this is hardly a surprise. Surprisingly, the answers are fairly simple if you wade through the hype.

According to the Energy Saving Trust, the UK has 40% of Europes total wind energy. But its still largely untapped and only 0.5% the UKs electricity requirements are currently generated by wind power. [tag]Wind power[/tag] is proportional to the cube of the winds speed, so relatively minor increases in speed result in large changes in potential output. Individual turbines vary …

Today, many Americans strive toward a clean, renewable energy source to meet the needs of the average consumer. That seems impractical, however, as fossil fuels and nuclear energy are excessively used in the country, causing environmental problems that pose a threat to living creatures. [tag]Solar power [/tag]has become a fortunate development in the modern world, as its advantages are far …

Can the election of recent past lead to a change in the way alternative energy is seen in our nation's captial? According to the NY Times it just might.

While everyone agrees solar energy is a clean, cost-effective energy source, there has always been one problem. The solar panel systems tended to be large and rather bulky. Frankly, they dont add to the beauty of a home. While solar panel designs have improved over the years, a new development involving shingles is getting a lot of attention.

The simplest way to get energy is to use what is already there. The heat in the earth is already there and we just need to dig into it to tap it as a source of energy. On the surface, we can stand the heat of the earth, but deep below, immense power is stored as tremendous heat.

When it comes to running a business, much of the necessary focus is on the bottom line. Many businesses, however, fail to realize they can seriously cut energy costs by going solar.

One of the new and emerging energy solutions is biodiesel fuel for cars and equipment. This fuel that is created from natural oils is gaining wide acceptance across the coutnry, first by rabid green advocates, but more and more these days by average consumers concerned about the rising problem of oil and its implications on our economy and ecology. Biodiesel …

Australia Considers Putting All Schools on Solar Power by Rick Chapo You have to love politicians. Jumping on the renewable energy bandwagon, they are suddenly coming up with all kinds of programs to solve energy problems. In Australia, the Labor Party is throwing around a startling idea as part of its effort to win upcoming elections. In an effort to …
