The news media are now on board. Time to ramp up the awareness and education for the rest of the public. Alternative energy and going green are now not fringe elements anymore. They must be applied and improved if we are to go forward in our world without polluting ourselves further. Read this from the SF Gate Everything brown is …

Alternative energy for vehicles has come a long way, but unfortunately we are not yet at a point where we can go without gasoline. Hybrid cars, however, are the first step to the future. More: continued here

Of all the forms of energy that humanity has developed in the past few hundred years of mass production, chemical energy is by far the most commonly used. Whether in the batteries that power all of our handheld devices and their chemical reactions or in the millions of uses we’ve developed for fossil fuels and their numerous chemical reactions, chemical …

A Light – Emitting – Diode or LED is a unique type of diode that uses a semiconductor device. There have been many developments, experiments, and lots of research done on the production and benefits of LED lighting. A Light – Emitting – Diode or LED is a unique type of diode that uses a semiconductor device. The semiconductor – …

Many believe that the Star Trek Teletransporters are coming. Many advanced physicists, will not deny it and agree that someday it should potentially be possible. Are you interested in discussing “teleportation” theory, which would be accomplished outside of the future hyper-mind’s ability to assimilate and stimulate particle spin or ion charge to create or disperse matter?

As we face the threat of [tag]global warming[/tag] and a future [tag-tec]energy[/tag-tec] crisis, surely it is not too great a leap in imagination to believe there is a high probability that some of the answers to our future problems will come from the advances made in physics and its contribution to our technology and engineering capabilities; the more fundamental our …

The World Bank Group is focusing its efforts on four fronts.Helping developing countries to move to a lower carbon path by exploiting renewable energy resources, supporting energy conservation, and increasing efficiency. The share of renewable energy and energy More: continued here

Permitting a uranium mine requires more than a simple application to mine. And, as we discovered, the process can take between three and six years (sometimes even longer), costing several million dollars and requiring numerous scientific studies on a company’s property. This could add additional pressure to uranium prices. More: continued here

Wind energy is getting a lot more attention now, concerns about the environmental impact of fossil fuels comes to public awareness, with concerns about global warming from CO2 emissions and nitrous oxide and sulfur emissions from coal. Furthermore, the global consensus is that we’re at the point where fossil fuel prices are going to rise. While we’re several centuries away …

China faces serious safety issues in the country’s coal mines. Tunneling and other accidents reportedly kill more than 5,000 coal miners every year. About 80 percent of China’s coal mining-related deaths are attributed to methane gas explosions. China’s coal mines releasing methane gas are also responsible for nearly 40 percent of the country’s air pollution. More: continued here

You have seen it coming, even heard the news – Electric rates in some states have increased 58 percent in 2006-2007! This is absolutely absurd – not only have we faced climbing gas prices for our vehicles now our homes will cost more to run. Use these money savings tips to save energy and decrease the cost of the ever …

Have you ever gone to a business and literally been frozen? This often happens at restaurants and coffee shops where the temperature control is pre-set or the employees set it for their level of comfort. Of course the employees are moving around a lot and stay toasty even in the blizzard they create by way of the businesses ventilation system. …

The technology needed to move away from fossil fuel is far easier to develop than the actual market acceptance with the buying public. We are facing a challenging “chicken and the egg” scenario with launching full scale production of new alternative fuel solutions for the buying public. The next election requires our candidates take a position on how we get …

After making a strong case for Europe to adopt the cap-and-trade strategy back in 1997, the United States took two important steps in the other direction since then.One such development is the recent proliferation of coal-fired power plants built all over the Mid West. Within the next ten years we can expect to see dozens of coal-plants at the 1,500 …

Our modern world requires a lot of petroleum products to function. From cars to planes to massive transportation of goods and services, every day of use is a further strain on the crude oil supply available to the planet. It is imperative that we manage that supply to the best of our ability. Here are some reasons why we must …
