The search and attempt to harness the infinite power and energy of the sun has challenged man’s ingenuity to experiment various ways of tapping into this powerful source of power. The history of solar has its origins back to the 7th century B.C. right up to the 20 A.D. we have records of the development of solar technology from the …

Many researchers believe that harnessing the power of the atom in fission reactions is the most significant alternative energy resource that we have, for the fact of the immense power that it can generate. Nuclear power plants are very clean-burning and their efficiency is rather staggering. More: continued here

Remember when Jed Clampett discovered that “bubblin’ crude” on the fanciful Beverly Hillbillies television show in the 1960’s? While being an entertaining show that spawned several spin-off ideas (think Green Acres and Petticoat Junction), it was not, however a realistic portrayal of the way entrepreneurial oil companies locate, acquire, and process the precious oil that is used in so many …

Of course everyone is aware that oil serves as a sensational fuel for heating your house or business, for keeping your automobile or motorcycle running smoothly, and helping the transportation of goods to ports and customers worldwide, but most people would be very surprised at how big a part oil plays in making the products we all use day to …

The history of Texas oil exploration began as far back as 1859, when a determined young entrepreneur, Lyne Taliaferro Barret leased 279 acres near an area in East Texas aptly named Oil Springs for its oil and gas seepage that had been observed by Native Americans and early Texas settlers for many years. His preliminary exploratory pursuits were unfortunately interrupted …

The future of crude oil is uncertain as of now, there are many different directions and outcomes, however there is a most likely scenario which we can discuss. I will be discussing what I think the future of crude oil will be and what effects it will have on the world. But before going into that I am going to …

Natural gas is one of the world’s most important fossil fuels. The denotation of “fossil fuel” comes from the belief that most scientists share, that natural gas and other “fossil fuels” were formed from the remains of tiny sea animals and plants that perished 200-400 million years ago. Scientists believe that when these tiny organisms died, they sank to the …

Did you know that solar power is a renewable, clean and cheap source of energy? Once the mystique is removed from the idea of using solar energy to produce power people will began to understand how it all works. This will lead to people seeing how using solar energy to produce power can be looked at as a viable alternative …

Of the fossil fuels, natural gas is the cleanest source of energy to use for many of our every day needs and activities. It plays an important part in reducing pollution so that a clean and healthy environment can be maintained. Because of its almost perfect combustion process, very few byproducts are emitted into the atmosphere as pollutants. The environmentally …
