“It matters not to a driver what powers his vehicle when he presses down on the accelerator pedal.” Johnson added. “Any power system that provides adequate mobile power economically when that pedal is pressed will satisfy his needs. All of the new systems could replace fossil fuels as the prime energy source for our nation and even the world. We need to develop an entirely new and more efficient means of generating, transporting, storing and using energy that will generate profitable domestic business, good jobs and stop the hemorrhaging of billions of American dollars to nations that hate us.”

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

40th ASES National Solar Conference to Help Thousands Learn about and Benefit from Fast-Growing, Renewable-Energy Economy Total size of the U.S. solar market grew 67 percent from $3.6 billion in 2009 to $6 billion in 2010.* (Boulder, Colo., 04/07/2011) – As the nation struggles with concerns about nuclear energy, fossil fuel dependency and a sluggish economy, thousands of renewable energy …

Larry Bauge asked: For many years the electric cars dc batteries have seen several design tests to check out different theories. Back then prototypes were typically built to test the system designs and make adjustments before offering the final product up for sale. Today we have costly gas and great battery technology which has actually piqued the interest in electric …

Davion Wong asked: Getting or building a wind power generator for home use is quickly becoming an attractive option for many environmentally conscious homeowners. Alternative energy sources are looking quite feasible in helping to alleviate both environmental damage and fuel shortage related to the use of fossil fuels. If we manage to develop these budding fields properly, we may eventually …

So many people are very much aware of the high cost of electricity. Since they are so fed up with this, they have been trying to find a way to save money on power sources. Some of them would just prefer to practically learn how to survive. But what if you don’t want to survive but you really want to …
