Renewable Energy Sources

Many nations count on Coal, Oil and Natural Gas to supply most of their energy needs, but reliance on fossil fuel presents a big problem. Fossil fuels are a finite resources. Eventually the world will run out of fuels, or it will become too expensive to retrieve those that remain. Fossil fuels also causes air, water, and soil pollution, and produce greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. The potential of renewable energy is enormous as they can in principle meet many times the world's energy demand. Renewable energy such as Solar, Wind, Ocean, Hydro-power, Biomass, Geothermal resources, Bio-fuels and Hydrogen derived from renewable resources can provide sustainable energy service, based on the use of routinely available, indigenous resources. A transition to renewable-based energy system is looking increasingly likely as the costs of solar and wind power systems have dropped substantially in the past 30 years, and continue to decline, while the price of oil and gas c...

Small Steps Towards a Big Change

Excessive use of fossil fuel and unabashed abuse of nature's bounty have taken a toll on our planet. Global warming, pollution, devastation are no longer just words of a distant future. They are realities that are already upon us. When will this stop. It's not too late. If not Earth, Where? If not now, When? If not us, Who? WE DO NOT INHERIT THE EARTH FROM OUR ANCESTORS; WE BORROW IT FROM OUR CHILDREN. As a research continues in the field of energy, more and more statistical data is now emerging, giving blinding evidence sustaining the fact that we are soon going to run out some of the substances which are most important in our lives right now. The fuels that we are using to run our vehicles, light our homes and generate our electricity, have almost reached the bottom of the containers. We can however, with no doubt, rely on resources such as the Wind, the Sun, Water and Nature, resources that ironically were the ones first provided us with everlasting supply. The time...
