Solar Energy Pools: Keep energy consumption down and pool costs will drop. As we all know, swimming pools require a lot of energy to run and maintain. Pool supplies alone can get costly, and with energy costs going up, it is helpful to find ways to reduce the amount of energy pools use. Solar thermal energy is a great resource …

Adriana Noton asked: While wind power systems and other alternative sources of electricity are becoming popular, and even common, in many parts of the world, Canada has been utilizing this form of electricity for years. Wind sourced energy has become a natural part of business and residential energy systems in Canada for quite a while. If you are considering moving …

Inspired by light management techniques used in fiber optic devices, the company’s innovative solar cell technology utilizes a 3-dimensional design to trap sunlight inside micro-photovoltaic structures where photons bounce around until they are converted into electrons. Solar3D’s management believes that this breakthrough solar cell design will dramatically change the economics of solar energy.

We could think that Great Britain is not that sunny, but it depends on where you live; North Scotland could be snowy and cold more than it is sunny, and the south of England could be the reverse. In actuality the UK picks up about 60% of the sun that the equator picks up. When it comes to using Solar …

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.

Organizations from across the U.S. will announce Thursday at 11 a.m. EDT that they are formally petitioning the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to suspend, on an emergency basis, all pending U.S. nuclear reactor licensing decisions.

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 …

ClearEdge Power joins forces with Audi and former 49er Jerry Rice to raise money for Bay Area charities HILLSBORO, Ore. – April 12, 2011 – This week amateur golfers across the Bay Area will partner with professional athletes and celebrities in an effort to raise $250,000 for area charities at the PGA Tour’s Fresh Express Classic™ in Hayward, Calif. ClearEdge …

There is a lot of energy that we can harness if we only attempt to research and develop the technologies wanted to do so. We will be able to run away from the traditional fuels and the old electric grids by turning to alternate choices to these sources of energy. One of those alternative energy resources is wind energy. Wind …

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 …

There’s a lot of energy that we are able to harness if we only try to research and develop the technologies wanted to do so. We will get away from the ordinary fuels and the old electric grids by turning to alternatives to these power sources. One of those alternative energy resources is wind power. Wind turbines remain developed that …

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 …
