There is an old phrase: "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater." This may apply to this particular case. In a recent interview with Neil Cavuto on Fox News, Donald Trump went to task on global warming, clean coal and the economic competitiveness of clean energy. While Mr. Trump is an extremely savvy business man, I think he missed the point on clean energy and green jobs. >More


Why Clean Energy Matters

Clean Energy
People have always been fascinated with energy. Since the early days of wind power, we have always wanted to master energy. In the 21st century, we are faced with the task of trying to create a world where this fascination is harnessed. This has resulted in a push for clean energy. >More


How to Find the Right Alternate Energy Source for Your Needs

Renewable Energy
So, you have decided to begin using an alternate energy source. That is great. But, which one is the right one for you? To start, you must take a look at the area in which you live. What is the climate like? What is the general landscape like? What problems might you encounter with each different alternate energy type? >More


Uncertain Future for Renewable Energy

Uncertain Future
Recently the U.S. Congress, according the AP, has basically given up on the 25 by 25 plan. The plan, which was originally introduced in 2004, was to have 25% of the Nation's energy produced from renewable energy by 2025. In fact it was signed by many politicians. The plan has not totally been scrapped though, just modified to 15%. >More


Cap and Trade– A New Twist

Coal Plant
Cap and trade is being discussed in the halls of the U.S. Congress. It is one of the touchiest subjects that are on the docket to be voted on. There are many sides to this bill. Some claim that it is a tax on people who can barely afford energy prices as they stand. While others claim that cap and trade is no different than when we started to regulate with the clean air act that stopped acid rain. >More


Conservation Versus Clean Energy

Conservation
The solution may come from a somewhat unusual source. Google has established itself as a major green player. Beyond their philanthropic arm, google.org, they also have some great programs that one can download. One program is Google Earth. >More


Renewable Energy Gets a Cash Infusion

Money
The first of the stimulus money is not being distributed to the different states. Whether you are for or against the package, it is now time to look at how the money is spent. Many states are going to be spending the money on renewable energy. Ken Salazar announced that alternative energy is a key aspect of the Obama Administration. >More


National Clean Energy Project

Power Lines
What do Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Ken Salazar, Steven Chu, T. Boone Pickens, George Pataki, Van Jones, Wall Mart, the USGBA, AFL/CIO and many other groups all have in common? Clean Energy. >More


Google Does it Again

Computer
We have long been impressed with Google. They not only have a great search engine, they have many other fun websites that they manage. If this were the only thing that they put their expertise into, it would be sufficient. However, there is another leg called Google.org. If you have not heard of it, than you are missing out. >More


Alternative Energy Degree- Get Prepared Today

Graduation
If you haven't noticed by now alternative energy is big. In fact, it will only getting bigger. The question that everyone should be asking is how can I make some money off this venture? Am I prepared for this big energy boom? Will my job be secure once clean energy comes around? >More


CO2 Emissions- State by State

Carbon
The Obama administration has more or less repealed an earlier stance of the Bush administration. From now on CO2 emissions will be regulated state to state. This means that it is up to individual states as to what emission standards they would like to enact. Some of the states that you may see tougher regulations are California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Oregon and Washington. >More


Geothermal System - Everyone should have one!

Geothermal1
Energy prices are continuing to rise at an alarming rate. If you own a home and have to pay for heating and cooling you know that the price to do so is becoming increasingly less affordable. What if you can pay the same monthly bill, and produce your own energy and not have to pay the energy companies for gas, propane or oil? Why not buy a geothermal system. >More


Carbon Credits- What are They?

Carbon Credit
The main ingredient of a carbon credit exchange is the idea of government cap and trade. Meaning the government sets a limit on how much Co2 a company can produce. The company can purchase credits from another company or Co2 fund. These credits are generally found on the exchanges. This trading has become quite a big business. As the idea of the exchanges grow, look for them to become for mainstream us by consumers. >More


Department of Energy- Steven Chu

Washington DC
Steven Chu will very soon be confirmed as the United States Energy Secretary. Dr. Chu has an extremely long and very impressive resume. He has an Ivy League education. His work is long and extensive as an Experimental Physicist. During his work he received a Nobel Prize for Physics. >More


2008- Renewable Energy Grows!- Year in Review

Year 2008
This year has been a roller coaster for energy. The biggest part has been of course the economy. As the economy fluctuates, it puts a strain on businesses, green and all. The big three have floundered. We will see if they will be able to deliver the efficient and electric cars of the future in 2009. >More


Grease into Electricity

Grease
As we advance more into the 21st century, technology will advance as well. A very interesting advancement is the idea about turning grease into electricity. Recently we wrote about the scientific breakthroughs of algae being converted into biofuel. Today it is Grease, not for biofuel, but electricity. Yup, that artery clogging substance that smells great when you pass your favorite fast food joint. >More

Biofuels- 3rd Generation

biofuel
As technology advances it seems that we sometimes over think problems. Biofuels have traditionally been made from ethanol, which has mostly been made from corn. This of course had major issues. The United Nations has said that production of biofuel from corn has caused shortages in world food supply. This caused major issues and the price of E85 caused it to be basically irrelevant. >More
