Energy from Nuclear Fusion
Nuclear fusion gets a step closer to providing a long-term energy source.
Is Algae the Answer to the Biofuel Question?
Algae is increasingly being used as a feedstock for the production of biodiesel, but a competitive and reliable cultivation and extraction process is still to be found.
Stewart Brand's Global Warming Solutions
Nuclear power, GM Foods and Geoengineering are necessary solutions to global warming says pioneering environmentalist.
A Brief Overview of Renewable Energy Sources
What are renewable energy sources? They are infinite energy sources that can never be used up. Here's an overview of five of these naturally generated energy sources.
Benefits of Using Wind Energy
Using wind energy as an alternative energy source can be cost effective and environmentally friendly when compared to other forms of energy sources.
Commitment Needed for Success in Sustainability
The lack of a decisive government blueprint has piled the pressure onto individual investors to forge the way forward to sustainability.
Why Algae Holds Promise as a Biofuel
As unbelievable as it may seem, algae or the green scum covering ponds, fish tanks and slippery rocks may be the answer to the oil crisis.
A 5,000 Year Look at Wind Energy
From early Egyptions sailing the Nile to Persian windmills to pump water and grind grain, humans have been harnessing wind energy for over 5,000 years.
The Science of Energy Saving Bulbs
Energy saving light bulbs - compact fluorescent lights, consume less electricity and last ten times longer, but they contain mercury. LED bulbs will be a better idea
Global Wind Power Projections for 2010
The financially-successful onshore wind sector is providing dependable, stable energy sources globally, particularly in Europe, and this trend will continue.
The Latest in Renewable Energy for Electricity
The world's electrical energy demands are increasing, but so is the need for less pollution. Hopefully, more renewable energy sources are becoming available.
Use Solar Power for Home and Garden
Products that use solar power are not limited to solar panels anymore. There are many useful items that tap into the sun's energy and can help cut energy costs.
The German Feed-In Tariff Model
Congressmen are wrestling with ways to combat climate change. But it seems like they are unaware of one of the world's leading initiatives to promote renewable energy.
Expanded Ontario Feed-in Tariff will up the Ante
The Canadian province of Ontario is about to offer a greatly expanded feed-in tariff (FIT) providing major benefits to homeowners, investors and the solar industry.
Solar Hot Water (Solar-thermal) Systems
Solar hot water systems use the sun's energy to heat household water, living spaces, pools and spas. They conserve energy, save money and help protect the environment.
How Hydroelectric Power Plants Work
Hydroelectric power is a clean, renewable energy source that can be further tapped to help meet global energy needs in the future, as petroleum becomes scarcer.
Facts About Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time causes many people to get ahead of or behind schedule. The one hour time change can also cause people to feel sleepy, agitated or energized.
Alternative Energy Replacements for Crude Oil

Energy Saving and Measuring the Carbon Footprint
One of the most important, yet overlooked, elements of green building practice is standards used in measuring the "greenness" of newly constructed or renovated projects.
Using Clean Energy to Generate Electricity
Wind, solar, geothermal, and hydroelectric power are renewable alternatives to fossil fuels, but must be used in combination to equal the energy output of fossil fuels.
Green Building: What is it?
Green building is beyond the trends of innovative, colorful facades and materials. Green building is a new way of thinking that propels communities to the future.
Tidal Power Offers Clean and Renewable Energy
Tidal power, as a source of renewable energy, is free of greenhouse gases. Different models of tidal energy generators have varying costs and environmental impacts.
Biomass Energy Fuels Debate on Best Alternative
