Alternative Energy Fragmentation Drives Innovation Which Will Lead to Groun
2009-08-31 20:00:00 The alternative energy sector is so fragmented between not only which type of alternative energy will be economical, but the technologies behind each alternative energy source are widespread with no clear trend. It seems like each week I read, hear, or see a new method and technology to produce my garbage into a form of biofuel that will generate enough energy to run my truck for 100mpg! Now, this isn’t a bad thing. I love to see all these technologies being developed as a proof of concept, and then if it has enough legs underneath it, get some seed capital to manufacture and create some prototypes. I have seen literally hundreds of different technologies that produce energy from an alternative source and I am always amazed at the human ingenuity. We are in an exciting part of history. What’s happening in the alternative energy sector today reminds me of what happened to the personal computer industry in the 80’s. At the beginning of the decade, there were h...

Fueling The Future With Alternative Energy
2009-06-01 04:36:00 The current dominant conventional fuels that are used include fossil fuels, petroleum, uranium, coal and propane. There has been growing concern about these conventional fuels, thus leading to the increasing demand for, and interest in alternative fuels. The Pros of Alternative Fuels Alternative fuels such as bio-diesel, bio-alcohol, fuel cells, hydrogen, non-fossil methane, non-fossil natural gas and vegetable oil are now well known and deemed to be greatly more desirable in the quest to to fuel our vehicles. There are a number of benefits to using alternative fuels. Firstl, alternative fuel-powered vehicles will emit less harmful gasses into the air resulting in less pollution. Biodiesel is also completely renewable as its primary source is vegetable oil. So there is no need to throw out used oil as it can be collected and refined. Secondl, these fuels can also prolong the engine life of your vehicle and are generally cheaper than conventional fuels. Thirdl, they burn more effici...

It's a can! It's a car! It's Ozkan Koral's Incredible Rolling Vehicle. Wann
2008-06-29 15:05:00 Leave it to a young industrial designer from Turkey to come up with a concept for a car that's so outta the box, it's unaware there ever was a box. Meet Ozkan Koral, a 2006 graduate of Middle East Technical University School of Industrial Design. He's done a motorcycle. A hair dryer (at least I think that's what it is--but certainly, it's a work of art), an all-ceramic washbasin (no metal), an SUV dashboard, and this mind-blowing concept car for Peugeot.The images above show the car, dubbed the "Ozone," without the windshield/ windows. The image below shows the car with the shields up, but translucent. Another option is to make the shields opaque. You enter the Ozone via the ?doors? inside each wheel. You slide into the body of the car, which, like the middle of a Segway, stays aligned perpendicular to the ground as the wheels rotate around it. The Ozone is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, so is energy efficient and has zero emissions.Here's what Mr. Koral says about the car:O...

WoC 501. Alternative Energy.
2008-06-19 23:53:00 I've been thinking about the uses of alternative energy, and I was thinking of the best places we could employ, windturbines, solar cells and Geo-thermal heating systems. What we need are places that have a lot of land, have building budgets to buy the equipment and are empty almost half the year. You know what I'm talking about don't you. Schools. Most schools have large areas of land, so they could, if situated correctly have a small to moderate wind turbine, or have geo-thermal heating. That's where you dig a dirty great big hole, bury water pipes and pump up heated water. All schools have vast areas of roof space that could tollerate some solar panels. Just think of the energy they could generate during the summer holidays!I have contacted our local school, and the headmaster is seriously considering it.So why not contact your local school? Think about the amount of tax payers money we could save in the long run if all our schools not only became carbon neutral, but also add...
Oil Windfall Tax: A Good Idea
2008-06-09 23:29:00 Reuters: Obama backs oil profits taxBackgroundAfter gas prices skyrocketed pass $4 last week, and as they continue to head up this week, some may have been hoping for a quick fix in the style of the (completely useless) economic stimulus some weeks ago. In response to those concerns today, Obama pledged to raise taxes on windfall oil profits if elected. This position would be politically unsustainable for the simple reason that nobody wants new taxes in a time of an economic downturn, so Obama appended to his position that he would "use the money to help families pay for their skyrocketing energy costs and other bills."Several weeks ago, a bill was blocked by Republican opposition that would have repealed tax cuts for oil companies and instead used the 10-billion-something-dollars to pay for tax rebates for renewable energy.A good ideaIf the plan Obama has proposed was enacted in coordination with the repeal of tax cuts, it would be a good move for the economy of the U.S., our long ...
IEA Demands $45 Trillion Investment in Clean Technology
2008-06-09 16:06:00 The world must spend $45 trillion to cut its dependence on oil and reduce greenhouse gasses, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said Friday. According to the IEA countries must commit 1.1% of projected total global gross domestic product (GDP) to develop sufficient clean energy technology by 2030. ?Carbon emissions must be cut. Costs of about 1% of [global] GDP are not outrageous, so this target is realistic,? Go Hibino, a senior manager at Mizuho Information & Research Institute, told Reuters. Without a change in current governmental policies, carbon-dioxide emissions will rise by 130% and oil demand will climb 70% by 2050, Nobuo Tanaka,…
