<< previous page 1 2 next page>> written by Unitek College As Americans begin to show an interest in wind training, there are already parts of the world that have been successful in this area and are moving ahead of the United States with lightning speed. written by Unitek College You’ve looked at the sites, researched the companies and are totally sold on wanting to get involved with the wind energy community of a greener world. But you’ve always been a free spirit and don’t want to be tied to a single company’s limited view of wind energy. Maybe you should think about forming your own wind energy-consulting firm. written by Unitek College Jobs in the wind energy sector, are widely available all
over the world. So, the benefits of a career in the wind energy sector are
astounding. The biggest problem found in the wind energy sector, is that there
aren’t enough qualified professionals to fill in the job openings. For this
reason, wind training courses are now one of the hottest
vocational tracks in North America. written by Unitek College Energy is on everyone’s mind these days with heating fuel, electricity and gasoline climbing while our income seems to stay dormant or even decreasing. Although wind power has always been a known source of energy, serious research on this alternative method for fuel was not taken seriously until recently. written by Unitek College Wind energy systems don’t have to be on a large scale such as wind farms that run over 100 turbines, generating energy greater than 100 kW. These farms are mainly used to create enough power for selling to utility companies. written by Joost Hoogstrate It has long been observed and proven that nature has already provided man with enough resources for energy—sunlight, geothermal heat, tides, and wind. Because these energy are abundant, in fact, so abundant that they could be replenished perpetually, they have come to be known as renewable energy. written by Joost Hoogstrate During the mid-20th century, scientists have begun to observe and record the steady increase in the average temperature of the oceans as well as on the atmosphere. This change is now termed global warming and is recognized to be one of the leading factors in which the planet has been undergoing drastic climatic changes such severe typhoons and flooding. With all these alarming developments, I could not help but wonder what I can specifically do in order to contribute toward decreasing this adverse phenomenon. written by Joost Hoogstrate Have you ever listened to discussions and read articles about global warming and wondered why the resource person or the writer appears so emphatic and urgent in their call for fighting it? Well that is because global warming is an urgent problem that needs immediate action and resolution before it gets worse and could spell the end of human life and civilization as we see it today. written by Joost Hoogstrate It has been no secret that the nature seems to be bearing the brunt of human existence and that the state of the environment has slowly been degrading as time went by. Environmentalists have long championed environmental sustainability as the solution to this dilemma and its concept has slowly been spreading and being accepted in different parts of the world. written by Joost Hoogstrate Solar energy is one topic that is receiving increasing interests from legislators, scientists, and even the average persons from all over the world. This is because solar energy is one of what is considered sources of renewable energy, a concept that might spell the survival of the human species in the future. In order for one to know more about this particular energy source, here are the top 10 solar energy websites. written by Joost Hoogstrate This past few years saw rising interest expressed for renewable energy—the kind of energy that is abundant and free, being taken from natural resources like sunlight, water, rain, geothermal heat, wind, and tides. written by Kevin Camilleri What do you do with 5,000 tonnes of Macadamia Nut shells? – Create electricity of course! AGL is helping to create biomass fuel from macadamia nut shells, as part of its effort to invest in sustainable energy sources. written by Pamela Ravenwood Dawn is just cresting the mountain ridge as you hike silently up to your favorite spot, a perch where you can see – unseen by other hikers. Here, you position yourself to meditate. The golden rays paint the rocks, and trees glisten with their own energy. You reach out to embrace the view. Suddenly, it feels as if your spirit leaves your body and becomes a part of all around you. Then, just as suddenly, you are back inside your own skin wondering what just happened. written by Pamela Ravenwood At an event at the Sustainability Resource Center at the Sedona Public Library, I was asked an interesting question. “What are five things people can do to become more sustainable?” Frankly, I was surprised by the question, though I should not have been. I’ve been engaged in the dialogue on sustainability for more than 20 years now. But I’ve never been asked that particular question before.
written by Scott McClain Windmills are once again rising in popularity thanks to the growing environmental concerns which spurs lots of ideas in utilizing renewable natural resources. Sources like the sun and the wind never run out, which makes for a potentially unlimited power without the threat of surging prices which is prevalent with fossil fuels. written by David Brooks The development of hydropower in Iceland has not been without controversy. There are vocal pundits and laypersons on both sides of the debate. So, is hydropower in Iceland a green energy or do the liabilities outweigh the assets?
written by David Brooks Iceland may not be top of mind for many but they do have claim to some very interesting statistics. Not the least of which is their dominance in the area of renewable or green energy utilization for energy production.
written by David Brooks Iceland seems to be hitting the world-stage for their experience in the development of geothermal power and heating. I for one think they are on to something good.

They are relatively simple to install and if well maintained can provide years of clean, reliable electrical power without having to resort to the use of noisy generators which produce pollutants and greenhouse gases. This article examines the basic components of a typical solar power system.
written by Miguel Scaccialupo The past year has seen a huge growth in interest in renewable energy solutions, driven by a range of concerns relating to climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, sustainability and energy independence. The uptake of renewable energy is being further encouraged by a growing range of government subsidy and rebate schemes which make renewable solutions more attractive and affordable for consumers. written by Kini Cosma Cosma There is a new wave in solar power tech. We are at the forefront of new innovations. However, these new designs will not be available until the beginning of 2008. REnU Polycrystalline or multi-crystalline solar cells in its core technology has already been proven to last in the field of over 25 years. It is on a par with current locked rates and fixed price guarantees.
