Solar Garden Lights - The Happy Marriage of Gardening and Renewable Energy
2008-05-14 04:46:00 Solar Garden Lights are becoming of age; their application is almost through puberty. Solar Powered Garden Lighting is reaching maturity. And no wonder first of all they are a sign of environmental awareness, and secondly solar lights are very convenient. In the old days we were struggling with the wiring in our garden, and especially grid connected systems in an outdoor environment are an accident waiting to happen if not maintained well. Placing additional lights was a good afternoons work, or you had to hire a specialized electrician to do it for you. Solar powered lights are an example of user friendliness, stick them in the ground, and place them wherever you need lighting. Do choose a spot that receives enough sunlight during the day, switch them on. Installation job done! The advantages of solar powered lights are obvious, no wiring, low or non-existent maintenance, and environmental friendly. They are especially the way to go if you are into organically or green gardening. ...

Taking Renewable Energy Options Out Of The Hands Of Bureaucrats Posted By :
2008-05-01 23:42:00 Congress and the bureaucrats in Washington, the presidents of the last thirty years or so and others who are supposed to be responsible have known for a long time that new sources of energy are desperately needed to compensate for the eventual disappearance of existing fuels as well as to slow the buildup of climate-changing "greenhouse gases" in the atmosphere. In fact, wind and solar power have gained significant footholds in some parts of the world. A number of other sensible fuel options have already been developed and even tested out in university and corporate laboratories. In view of the reality of how fast that these solutions need to be advanced into widespread useage, though, we are lagging way behind. We are simply not being developed fast enough to avert the multifaceted global energy catastrophe that lies ahead. A recent study by United College Marketing Services has shown that student credit lines have increased to over $6,000. Credit card usage has tripled sin...

The Pros and Cons of Using Renewable Energy
2008-04-25 15:06:00 When people think or energy sources, they mostly think of coal, natural gas and oil, these fuels have been the source of energy for a number of years. One problem however is that they are limited in supply and availability.Estimates have shown that the currently available sources will only meet our current energy demands for about 50 to 70 years or so. In order to find alternative sources of energy the world has decided to pursue renewable energy sources. However even renewable energy sources have their advantages and disadvantages too.The available renewable energy sources that we have include solar, hydro, wind, geothermal, ocean and biomass. The most common of these advantages is that they are clean energy sources and do not pollute the air. They also do not contribute to global warming or greenhouse effects. Because the sources of such energy are natural the cost of operations are substantially reduced and they require less maintenance on their plants. One common disadvantage is...

Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation from DfT now in effect
2008-04-17 00:56:00 The U.K. has been planning on requiring 2.5 percent of all road fuels sold to come from biofuels, rising to 5 percent by 2010, as part of a plan known as the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO). The time has finally come for that plan to commence, as April 15 marked its official start.Transport Minister Jim Fitzpatrick says,"Making it easier for motorists to use greener fuel is an important step towards reducing carbon emissions from transport. It should help save millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide in the coming years." Requiring biofuels is not enough, thought, as the methods used to create the fuels and the sustainability of the process is equally as important. The DfT is on it and, starting in September of this year, the Renewable Fuels Agency will publish reports from fuel suppliers regarding the sustainability and environmental impact of the fuels that they deliver. There are three ways for suppliers to meet the standards as required by the RTFO: By supplying the rele...

What the oil execs told the House about $18b tax breaks and renewable energ
2008-04-03 03:57:00 Let's say, just for fun, you made $123 billion in profits last year. Profits, not income. And you work in a country where money is stretched pretty tight (well, for most things, *cough* Iraq *cough*). Would you have the cajones to ask the citizens for another $18 billion? If you were an executive from one of the five biggest oil companies, you certainly would. Facing what CNNMoney called grilling and criticizing, executives from Exxon Mobil Corp., Shell Oil Company, BP America, Inc., Chevron, and ConocoPhillips sat before the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming (chaired by Edward Markey (D-Mass., seen here in his Second Life incarnation) yesterday. While Democratic lawmakers took their shots at the oil companies for not investing more in renewable energy sources, a safe political move if there ever was one, the oil men just repeated frequent claims that whatever it looks like, they need the tax breaks. Exxon's senior vice president Stephen Simon told t...

Renewable Energy Overview
2008-03-23 19:16:00 As political and economic aspects of fossil fuels grow more harrowing, renewable energy is gaining popularity. Here?s an overview of renewable energy.Renewable Energy OverviewRenewable energy is more difficult to define than you might imagine. Since it is a catchall phrase for a variety of energy sources, any definition has to be broad. With this in mind, let?s define renewable energy as any energy source that naturally occurs and is very abundant.Ironically, almost all renewable energy sources rely on nuclear power. Fortunately, the nuclear power is in the form of the sun at the heart of our solar system. One giant nuclear reaction, the sun produces solar radiation and sunlight that is converted on our planet into energy through natural resources. In one form or another, sunlight is the basis for solar power, wind energy, biomass power, and so on. Fossil fuels, on the other hand, are a form of biomass energy, but an ancient one with resource limits and brutal side effects in the fo...
Geothermal energy – what is it, and can it be a good renewable energy
2008-03-23 13:19:00 Geothermal energy is the energy harvested from the warmth of the Earth core, which can be trapped to produce electricity in geothermal power plants that use it to warm water for industry, agriculture, bathing and cleansing. Even though it is in use worldwide, its real potential as an alternative energy source is not fully utilised, thus geothermal may offers an actual alternative in future environment-friendly energy source.There are several ways to use this geothermal power:Wells of geothermal power.A geothermal reservoir is a mass of fractured rock in the Earth’s crust, saturated with hot water or steam. In order to bring the water or steam to the surface, wells are drilled into them. If the fluid coming out is hot enough, bubbles will occur and cause the water to flow to the surface, if not, the wells may need a pump. Power plants make use of the hot water or steam from the wells by redirecting it to a steam turbine and a generator that produce electricity. These plants are wor...
