Renewable Energy Policy Important to Future of Planet, but more importantly, to mankind's future

Renewable energy policy (RE) – (REP) is important to the future of the planet, and for all the inhabitants, including mankind. With the current Middle East tensions creating another surge in oil price speculation, the prices of gas and other oil related products also rise, including food. In fact, according to CNN, Wall Street greed fueling high gas prices, as the laws of supply and demand don’t apply to the price of oil. Demand in the U.S. today is at the lowest level since 1997.

Most recently, at Obama’s 2012 State of the Union Address Energy, he laid out a half dozen energy proposals, however, most of the policies he announced were either previously announced, stand little chance of passing through congress, or not that big of a deal. According to Jose Valera, a Houston based lawyer in the energy practice at the global law firm Mayer Brown, “It’s a smart, well balanced, welcome policy, and everybody is a winner.”

While the traditional fossil fuels will still play an important role in the future while we transition to renewables, in technologies like wind and solar, Obama called for extending tax credits that basically give these firms a 30% subsidy and also called for the federal government to allow renewable projects on its land.

What is Green Power? Anything that isn't bad for the planet sums it up rather well.

What is Green Power you ask? Green Power (GP) is representative of those renewable energy resources and technologies that provide the highest environmental benefit. According to the US EPA, the definition of it as being electricity that is generated from solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, biomass, and other low-impact small hydroelectric sources. Electricity consumers often buy renewable power to avoid the environmental impacts of conventional power sources and its greenhouse gas reduction benefits.

The following chart shows that green power is subset of renewable energy and that it represents those renewable resources that provide only the highest environmental benefits and includes solar, wind, biomass, biogas, low-impact hydro, and geothermal.

Solar Tower in Mojave desert, now thats some energy!

Ethics of solar power and global warming so why wouldn’t anyone want to get a free lifetime supply electricity? Well, that can be achieved only if you decide to install a dependable and durable solar power system. Solar energy is of course always free, at least in daylight, and only after you install a solar energy system. Conventional electricity is created from the process of burning fossil fuels which in turn create co2 emissions among other toxic emissions and contribute to global warming. The effects of climate change due to rapid global warming are quite evident today. The ethics of solar power and global warming is fairly straightforward. Using solar energy is the ethical thing to do, in any amount. Continue Reading Ethics of Solar Power and Global Warming Here

Earth Light Pollution Got Light?

Earth light pollution an explanation, so when you think of pollution, the humble light bulb probably doesn’t come to mind. Instead, you might envision smoke stacks belching clouds of smoke, or a sky heavy with smog. Keep those smoke stacks in mind, though – they do have something to do with light pollution.

Humankind’s electrical illumination of the earth can be seen from outer space. While the effect is stunning and beautiful, there is a growing movement toward lessening artificial lighting. Called “light pollution,” the excessive use of electrical lighting is said to have a significant environmental impact. Here are some reasons why some people are concerned about light pollution.
