The value of energy to run your home are staggering. I guess that is not news to anyone, but here’s what most folks haven’t heard… These cost for energy use are going to induce a lot of worse. What I’m saying is, our energy comes from “fossil fuels” in the form of oil, natural gas and coal. Take the worth …

Millions of Americans are struggling to make ends meet during this economic crunch that we are in. There is one thing though, that many of them are neglecting. Managing fuel cost. Did you know that the average American who drives 15,000 miles per year will spend over $2000 on fuel this year? And the fact is, there is a couple …

geothermal energy facts Michael L Leigh asked One of the lesser known renewable energy sources geothermal electricity is created by using the heat contained underground by magma This magma heats rocks and sometimes travel directly through water sources below the surface heating it up We extract this water and run it through pipes which surround another set of pipes that …

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.
