When we speak of energy, power, and development, we all think development, industrialization, advancement all these leads to pollution and degradation of the environment. You hear advocates say that our environment was a lot purer in long gone ages because people do not use energy. Whos Liable? That is not necessarily true you see ancient [...]
All cars are powered by gas. But with the volatility of crude oil prices and because it is not a renewable, something must be done before it is too late. Given that solar energy, a green energy source is used to power a community, you can also do this on a small scale by using [...]
For a very long time, we have relied on fossil fuels. It provides heat to our homes, gas for our cars and electricity. Since we are now using it more than ever, there is a consequence. We are depleting our resources and slowly killing our planet. Fortunately, we can change our ways and then shift [...]
Solar energy is a green energy source because it is a renewable and it does not cause any harm to the environment. This is achieved by converting the suns rays into electricity with the help of solar cells. There are three basic approaches how we can use this form of green energy source namely passive, [...]
Wouldnt it be great if we can produce our own green energy source? If we can do that, we dont have to pay electrical bills or gasoline anymore for our cars. While we can buy some of the equipment, the rest will have to be done on our own. Take solar or wind energy for [...]
Why is hydropower a green energy source? It is because we are able to harness electrical power by converting water into electricity. The use of hydroelectric power or even hydroelectricity dates back to Ancient Greece and China when they installed waterwheels in rapidly flowing rivers to turn millstones and other equipment. Years later, this was [...]
We have the technology to do a lot of things and one of these is to tap the earths energy. This is exactly what we do when we decide to use geothermal which happens to be a green energy source. Geothermal energy is energy obtained by tapping heat from the earth itself. This comes from [...]
For more than a century, we rely on oil to fuel our cars. But did you know that the worlds oil is close to drying up because it is a nonrenewable resource? Well that may not happen tomorrow or next year but we are getting closer because of the demand in the world market. Why [...]
Is biomass a green energy source? According to experts, yes it is. In fact, it is one of the three main areas of bioenergy. But what is bioenergy? Well, it is a process by which organic material such as animal waste, plants and wood are used to generate electricity, produce heat and also aid in [...]
Biofuels are also a green energy source. It has been around for a very long time and lately, people are beginning to take notice. Liquid biofuel which is the one used in cars is a natural and renewable domestic fuel that can only be used for diesel engines. This can be made from vegetable oils [...]
