Solar, Wind and Green Energy

As the world approaches peak oil production in the middle east and prices continue to rise, the public will finally realize the imact of running out of this indispensible energy source. The cost to power our homes, drive our cars and keep food in the stores will finally make the public aware of the need to develop alternative energy sources.

When that time arrives, the public will demand alternative energy resources that will force governments to take action. In the meantime, renewable energy sources must be developed with minimal public support by private enterprises.

The purpose of this website is to publish breaking news about key developments related to alternative energy including solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, biomass and electric vehicles.

Solar Energy

Solar technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on the way the sunlight is captured, converted and distributed. Active solar techniques use photovoltaic panels, solar thermal collectors, with electrical or mechanical equipment, pumps, and fans to convert sunlight into electricity. Active solar technologies increase the supply of energy and are said to be supply side technologies.

Wind Energy

Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form. Historically wind energy has been directly used for sailing boats or it has been converted into mechanical energy using windmills for pumping water or grinding grain. Today the main application of wind power is the generation of electricity using wind turbines. Wind is called a renewable energy source because the wind will blow as long as the sun shines.

Geothermal Energy

Geothermal energy is considered a renewable source due to our water being replenished from rainfall and the heat that is constantly produced inside the earth. Geothermal energy starts in the earth's core, about 4,000 miles below the surface.

Hydroelectricity

Hydroelectricity is electricity generated by the production of power through use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water.

Electric Vehicles

An electric vehicle (EV) is a vehicle with one or more electric motors for propulsion. This is also referred to as an electric drive vehicle. The motion may be provided either by wheels or propellers driven by rotary motors, or in the case of tracked vehicles, by linear motors.
