Alternative Energy Sources – What is Alternative Energy?
Alternative Energy Sources - What is Alternative Energy?
The term “alternative” in this case presupposes the current set of energy technologies against which “alternative energies” are compared. As such, the list of energy technologies excluded is an indicator of which problems the alternative technologies are intended to address. Controversies regarding dominant sources of energy and alternatives to them have a long history, ever since fire was discovered for a matter of fact. The nature of what is regarded as alternative energy sources have considerably changed over time, as with the technologies that we use to extract and utilize them. Currently, in this modern day and age, due to the wide variety of energy choices and differing goals and agenda’s of their advocates, defining some energy types as “alternative” has become highly controversial.
As such, big oil and coal don’t want to lose market share and are launching campaigns to dispel the harmful effects of their energy products .They want to keep that money rolling in, at whatever cost to the environment, and ultimately mankind. They prefer to keep things as they are, and are slow to adapt to the new wave of clean and renewable energy sources, however some progress is being made.

How To Install Solar Panels Yourself
How to install solar panels yourself
There are many of us that can’t afford those costs, including DIY enthusiasts such as yourselves have decided to learn how to install solar panels by themselves. If you can follow the directions to put together a desk, dresser or bookcase from a WalMart diy furniture kit, then you can more than likely learn how to install solar panels by yourself too! It is not that difficult!
In the following section, we describe the basics of this task, however before you start this diy project, you should remember this point. Always put your safety first when installing solar panels, especially if you are mounting them onto a roof. Check your local regulations in your area if there are any before buying solar panels for your home as some local laws may have specific rules and regulations about the maximum size of the panels and where they can be positioned.

Is Electricity Renewable or Non-Renewable? How to Find out if your Electricity is Renewable or Non-Renewable
Electricity ball
On the other hand, hydro, wind, tidal, geothermal, biomass, and solar power are all regarded as sustainable and renewable forms of energy because they aren’t finite and limited to available resources. We use the energy we obtain from these sources and it still keeps coming, it will not run out! Continue Reading Is Electricity Renewable or Non-Renewable?

Solar Renewable Energy – Is Solar Energy Renewable and Can it Meet our Energy Needs?
Solar Renewable Energy - Is Solar Energy Renewable and Can it Meet our Energy Needs?
The Earth receives an incredible supply of solar energy. The sun, an average star, is a fusion reactor that has been burning over 4 billion years. It provides enough energy in one minute to supply the world’s energy needs for one year. In one day, it provides more energy than our current population would consume in 27 years. In fact, “The amount of solar radiation striking the earth over a three-day period is equivalent to the energy stored in all fossil energy sources.” Continue Reading Solar Renewable Energy – Is Solar Energy Renewable and Can it Meet our Energy Needs?

Biomass Energy Advantages and Disadvantages
Biomass Advantages
1.) When this is used as a fuel, it reduces the need for fossil fuels for the production of heat, steam, and electricity for the grid, including residential, industrial and agricultural uses.
2.) This fuel is one of the most abundant resources in the world, and it is always available and can be reproduced, seeing that it is a renewable energy source. With proper conservation practices, any plants, shrubs or trees that are harvested to produce energy can be replaced over a period of time.

Space Solar Power Space Based Solar Power Satellites to Beam Solar Power to Earth
Space Solar Power Space Based Solar Power Satellites to Beam Solar Power to Earth
One such technology has been around for decades, as researchers have been appraising the use of power-beaming solar-power satellites. But the projected cost, complexity and energy economics of this technology made the concept a non-starter.
Today, however, a new, enhanced, unique approach has been developed, dubbed SPS-ALPHA, short for Solar Power Satellite via Arbitrarily Large Phased Array. Leader of the space based solar power satellites concept is John Mankins of Artemis Innovation Management Solutions of Santa Maria, Calif.
Mankins provided a detailed overview of the power-beaming concept here during the 2012 NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts meeting March 27-29. Continue Reading Space Solar Power Space Based Solar Power Satellites to Beam Solar Power to Earth Here
