The Green Car of the year. Oh my. How far we have come.

Well I think the age of alternative energy fueled cars is really starting to take shape. We now have major league coverage of announcement touting the Greenest Cars of the year. Imagine that. Just a few short years ago there were no such things as alternative energy cars. Or only in the labs of universities or companies at least. Now it is becoming normal to sell a hybrid in amongst the rest of the gasoline fueled cars made by the major carmakers around the world. Now they are beating the bush to innovate.

Can Hydrogen Fuel Cells Really Work As An Alternative Energy Option?

We try to present a balanced view of the emerging alternative energy technologies on our pages. That means taking a critical eye to the science and tech of what is behind those options. I found a good article today that talks about hydrogen fuel cell technology and why the writer does not think it has viability in the near term.

Getting bucks back for your biodiesel production – government incentives – biodiesel

Biodiesel production, distribution, and use, as with many emerging alternative energies, has been aided in large part by recent government incentives making biodiesel fuel production and distribution more attractive. These tax incentives put money back in the pockets of biodiesel producers who, presumably, pass the benefits on to you, the consumer, with lower biodiesel prices. Not just any biodiesel is …

Water – The Perfect Fuel

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.

Harnessing the breeze for wind power

One of the worlds fastest growing types of renewable energy sources is wind energy. While most of the Earth is still reliant on different types of fossil fuels (such as oil, natural gas and coal) for their energy supply, many countries are trying to come up with alternative methods of obtaining energy. Much of Europe has begun to build and use wind farms, which are groupings of wind turbines that harness the energy of the wind in order to create energy and electricity. Also involved in using wind energy, USA has started to build their own wind farms.

Put a windmill on your home for wind power

When you combine the cost of fossil fuels with the pollution and climate problems they create, it can all get a bit overwhelming. It is easy to find oneself wondering where to start when dealing with these problems. Given the state of fear attitude portrayed in most media, this is hardly a surprise. Surprisingly, the answers are fairly simple if you wade through the hype.

Wind Farms – debating their implementation

According to the Energy Saving Trust, the UK has 40% of Europes total wind energy. But its still largely untapped and only 0.5% the UKs electricity requirements are currently generated by wind power. [tag]Wind power[/tag] is proportional to the cube of the winds speed, so relatively minor increases in speed result in large changes in potential output. Individual turbines vary …
