Environmental Technology Aspects

Environmental technology, or commonly referred to as envirotech, is also known as green technology, or greentech for short, and can also be termed clean technology, or cleantech for short is defined as the application of one or more of the following; environmental science, green chemistry, environmental monitoring and electronic devices which either monitor, model or conserve the natural environment and resources, and to minimize the negative impacts of human interactions with the environment. The term can also be used to describe sustainable or renewable energy generation technologies such as Photovoltaic’s (solar power), Wind Turbine’s (wind energy), Bioreactors, and other clean or renewable energy technologies. Sustainable development is at the core of environmental technologies. The term environmental technologies is also used to describe a class of electronic devices that can promote sustainable management of resources.

Currently we have wasteful energy policies, an overuse of natural resources, water supply shortages, man-made global climate change, and deforestation on massive scales are just some of the current issues experts say that we need to be address for humans as a species to achieve sustainable living on this planet. By the year 2025, an estimated addition of 2.9 billion people will strain already strained water supplies, and the world’s energy needs will go up by as much as 60 percent by 2030, according to the United Nations so environmental technology will play a crucial role in our maintaining a sustainable balance.

Biomass Energy: What are the Biomass Advantages and the Biomass Disadvantages

When it comes to biomass energy, of course there are biomass advantages and biomass disadvantages. There are distinct good and bad qualities of using this alternative fuel for energy. There are several differing opinions of course, some of which rest upon financial considerations and may be biased, so we will try and eliminate all the biased schools of thought on this hot topic.

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.

How To Conserve Energy At Home Tips and Tricks

These how to conserve energy at home tips and tricks can help you to save a few bucks, and can be substantial over time if your are serious about them. During these harsh economic time we all would like to save every way that we can. With the costs of many items still rising and wages stagnant, if you even have a job anymore, it has become a priority for many to cut costs where they can. One of the best ways to both save money and do a little good for the environment is to save on your energy, which is referred to as energy conservation. As our society has been led away from values that helped keep things in moderation, our new society is more or less based on more, more, more. Now that is starting to change. We could all use a few extra dollars I’m sure, so why not start right in the comfort of your own home!

Every appliance and electronic gadget that we have consumes electricity and adds up to your electric bills increasing each month, which adds to our financial burdens as homeowners or renters. To stabilize, and in most cases reduce this burden for you and your family, we have compiled this list on how to lower those monthly electric bills with these home energy saving tips so you can still enjoy all those new gadgets you have recently purchased and want to continue to use.

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, beam me up Scotty! Most of us who are reasonable can conclude that we need to transition our power structure from toxic, non-renewable sources to clean, renewable, sustainable choices such as solar. This brings us to the edge of new technology and moving forward with these technologies.

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

Global Warming

Global Warming is a complex chain of processes which can feed on each other once the process has begun

Global Warming

Global warming (GW) which threatens all mankind and the Earth, appears as a chain of processes that stimulate one another by getting into cause and effect contact with global crisis. At the same time, both crises are closely connected with global political crisis – global crisis of democracy as well as crises of field of fundamental human rights and freedoms, world order and political systems. We think that the struggle against each of them separately will not be enough without reviewing these three crises together and attempting their parallel solution simultaneously.

Considering of role of changes taken place in human factor and mind in both GW and global economic development is very important in solution of these problems and prevention of re-occurrence of this type of crises. We consider it important to study the specific connection between GW and human factor which is the most important factor of global democratic crisis and both crises in a scientific way.

TED 5004-C (The Energy Detective) Includes Four Measuring Units for Homes with Four Breaker Panels or Wind/Solar Installations

TED 5004-C (The Energy Detective) Includes Four Measuring Units for Homes with Four Breaker Panels or Wind/Solar Installations

Technical Details:

  • Four measuring units for homes with four breaker panels or wind/solar
  • Features a sleek, wireless display to discover energy hogs around the house
  • Interactive Footprints Software shows charts, graphs, and trending
  • Package includes one Gateway, one Display and four MTU/CTs
  • TED 5004-C is compatible with one (200 AMP or less) breaker panel

Product Description:

The power to Save! All TED 5000 series models include interactive software embedded in the Gateway to store up to 10 years of energy usage information. The TED 5004-C comes with all the necessary hardware for monitoring energy usage from four different power sources along with a sleek wireless display. The package includes four MTUs (Measuring Transmitting Units), Four CTUs (Current Transformer Sets), one Display and one Gateway with the embedded Footprints software. The TED 5003-C is perfect for homes with: three electrical panels, single electrical panel and two wind/solar inverters, two electrical panels and one wind/solar inverter, single electrical panel and two subpanels, and two electrical panels and one subpanel. The TED 5004-C is compatible with net metering installations and independent monitoring of subpanels. This package COMES with a wireless display. The CTUs clamp around your wire conductors and connect directly to the MTUs, which transmits energy usage data directly to the Gateway. The Gateway stores and graphs the data from each MTU separately, but your total energy usage can also be viewed in the aggregate as well. Data can be displayed locally on your home computer, but it also can be accessed remotely via an internet connection (IP) on the web or compatible mobile phone (Smartphone) application.
