BP today announced it has selected the University of California Berkeley and its partners the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to join in a $500 million research program that will explore how bioscience can be used to increase energy production and reduce the impact of energy consumption on the environment.

With the crisis in oil and natural gas prices, the continued violence in the Middle East, and the environmental concerns brought front and center by hurricanes Katrina and Rita, alternative fuels have managed to become a topic of conversation in the mainstream media. Unfortunately, not all proposals make sense environmentally. The energy crisis has given the nuclear industry a major …

In his State of the union address President Bush included his new initiatives for reducing energy dependence on foreign oil. Now the row around the country is whether his plans can work. Democrats and environmentalists seem to think it will not.

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.

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 …

There are all kinds of sites on the internet that advertise the selling of biodiesel equipment but perhaps the safest place to shop is at the national biodiesel board which is quite fussy about who it lets advertise on its web site. On the national biodiesel board web site you can find biodesiel suppliers, biodiesel plants and suppliers of biodiesel …

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.

Have you thought about going to bio diesel for your car? Thinking green but not sure how to go about it?

I found this interesting article from SW Texas about a fellow who brews up his own biodiesel fule for his truck and makes it go on a fraction of what retail gas costs. It is small town America at its best. He has a freind who runs a restaurant and can provide the oil needed to make the biodiesel, he …
