When it comes to renewable energy, wind and solar are the media darlings. Every time I hear renewable energy mentioned on TV or radio, it’s always wind and solar.  If geothermal is mentioned, it’s an afterthought, and said almost under the announcer’s breath.  Why?  Given the immense importance of the United States’ (and the world’s) energy future, this is not the time to complacent.  The stakes are too high as global warmin Read more…

It is possible to have a portfolio which profitably (that’s the key word, is it not?) invests in alternative energy funds. “Green” energy production is expected to be a multi-billion (in today’s dollars) industry by 2013.

The most recently developed wind-turbine technologies have brought us wind-produced energy which is more cost efficient as well as more widespread. More state-of-the-art wind energy technologies Read more…

Research into renewable energy has been getting a lot of attention recently due to the confluence of a few factors. One is the unmistakable rise in global temperatures brought about man’s activities, mainly through the burning of fossil fuels. Second is the pollution caused that is harming both environment and human health. Last, a significant factor is economics and politics. No longer is the world willing to be beholden to a Read more…

The green movement has created a plethora of buzzwords. One of the more popular phrases is renewable energy. And for good reason. Businesses, traditional and emerging, will soon be affected by how they will respond to the reality of renewable energy depending on where they fall in the supply chain.

Renewable energy is a term that refers to those potential sources of energy that are naturally replenished, which m Read more…

It is no secret that the sun can be harnessed to provide a source of energy for homes and businesses.

The sun is a powerful star. It supplies us with energy, through a process called nuclear fusion, and sustains life on our planet Earth. Solar energy, or energy from the sun, has existed since prehistoric times when men would magnify the sun’s energy in efforts to start fires.

The sun is a valuable Read more…

Our home-based solar energy business entails no up-front costs or fees, unlike many other work from home opportunities. We do ask that you invest time in educating yourself and in turn educating the consumer about renewable energy. It is the perfect time to join the solar revolution.

The cost of oil and natural gas continues to rise. CO2 emissions and the release of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) are changing the climate. Read more…

Renewable wind energy is the fastest growing source of power of any renewable energy sources and technologies. With renewable wind energy, the flow of air turns wind turbines to create electricity. As the speed of the wind turning the turbines increases, the amount of power the turbine produces increases as well. In areas where winds are strong, renewable wind energy is a smart choice for providing power to homes and businesses Read more…

The United States Department of Energy has devoted itself to the cause of renewable energy promotion with its creation of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden Colorado.

This renewable energy program facility offers programs in a wide variety of renewable power topics which span the various green energy resources such as wind, water, sun, biomass and even nuclear. NREL also conducts ongoing research Read more…

Due to a number of major factors, including the state of the economy, the climate crises and the general higher visibility of environmental issues, renewable energy has become a significant and high profile subject. Now, more than at any time in history, there is a growing awareness of our impact on the planet and consequently a growing movement toward environmental responsibility through the use of renewable energy.

f you’re one of those people who every winter puts out 10,000 holiday lights or every summer keeps the air conditioning cold enough to make frozen treats on the kitchen counter – or whether you’re like everyone else who simply likes the modern convenience of electrical – then you should care about how we will generate electricity in the future.

We are in no danger of running out of coal, the primary fuel source f Read more…
