This electric vehicle will also introduce so called "wireless charging" which means that instead of using conventional leads and plugs,...

  • The Future of Energy: Alternative and Green Energy

    Updated: 2010-12-21 17:23:58
    Today, more people are becoming aware of the need to find alternative sources of energy which includes Green Energy. Green energy is energy that comes from renewable sources that do not pollute the environment. Fossil fuels such as oil and coal have had a significant impact on global warning and the price increases of fossil fuels have caused a serious financial strain on society. There are now many governments and companies making substantial investments in research to find green and alternative energy solutions. There have been a number of developments that are showing that the potential to create a green and alternative energy future is indeed possible.

    Energy Management takes many shapes and forms; if you find yourself having difficulty reducing energy costs and maintaining energy reduction perhaps the problem is the information you are receiving. Lord Kelvin said, "If you cannot measure it, you cannot control it." Real-time energy information is an invaluable tool for Energy Management. Most of the savings gained from real-time energy monitoring can be completed without spending a single penny.

  • Woodgasifier for Energy Independence

    Updated: 2010-12-09 17:34:40
    Of all the emerging technologies that promise to provide free green energy independence for country living, you really need to consider a woodgasifier solar system. I have listened to many discussions about how a person could live completely independent of the power grid on just solar energy alone. However, in truth, many that have really tried to do it have been somewhat disappointed, because there is no place on this earth where the sun shines 365 days out of every year. There is, however, a practical solution to this. Why not switch to a virtually free abundant source of energy: wood?

  • Solving the World Energy Problem, Part 3

    Updated: 2010-12-07 00:16:00
    In addition to energy from the sun, there is another source of energy that could help fill the energy gap created by the reduced availability of fossil fuels. This other possible source for sustainable, renewable energy is energy derived from the earth itself. There are three earth-generated technologies that, I believe, can serve as large-scale energy sources.

  • Solving the World's Energy Problem, Part 2

    Updated: 2010-12-07 00:15:38
    In "Solving the World's Energy Problem, Part 1" I have argued that fossil fuels are essentially fossilized energy from the sun. Since fossil fuels take millions of years to create and their supply is finite, at some future time our fossil fuels resources will be exhausted. I further proposed that biofuels are a suitable substitute for fossil fuels, but our ability to produce biofuels will never be sufficient to replace the enormous amount of fossil fuels that the world is consuming. Therefore, the world will need alternative renewable energy technologies. Here are four possibilities to meet future energy needs.
