Is Nuclear Power Safe? - The Kashiwazaki Kariwa nuclear power plant in Japan discharged approximately 350 gallons of radioactive water into the sea today after an earthquake shook the Japanese town, which is 160 miles northwest of Tokyo. Global Warming: What's All the Hype - We're in a countdown to extinction, and melting icebergs, climbing temperatures, and escalating panic about vanishing animal populations have inspired a buzz-worthy global warming global warming frenzy -- rife with warnings,... An Overview of Biomass Energy - As fuel prices skyrocket, personal financial situations and entire economies are threatened. Biomass energy has been offered up as a possible solution. An Overview of Biomass Energy Energy can be produced in a number of ways. We can burn fossil fuels, use the sun's light for solar energy, use water for hydroelectric generators or even the heat of the Earth's core in geothermal energy. One often overlooked source of energy that belongs among all these others is biomass energy. Indeed, President Bush seems particular keen on the subject. Using Biomass Power for Our Electric Needs - Electricity is a fundamental pillar to any modern society. Unfortunately, we need fuel to create electricity. This brings us to the subject of biomass as a new source of power. Using Biomass Power for Our Electric Needs Biomass is a term used to describe natural, biological materials that can be used as fuel to produce energy. Biomass is a broad term that includes many different types of fuels, from garbage to landfill gas to ethanol. Solar Power for Post Lighting - Solar energy is all around us, but most people don't notice it. For instance, the power source for many emergency phones on freeways is powered by it. This brings us the subject of solar post lights. Solar Power for Post Lighting Solar energy started to come into popularity in the 1970s, when technology advances combined with massive oil price increases to make solar a popular alternative energy source. Hydropower As A Major Player In The Energy Game - Hydropower has been a slumbering giant in the energy game. Since the 1960s, its use has actually gone down compared to other energy sources. This is beginning to change. Hydropower As An Energy Platform - Much like solar and wind power, hydropower has been a constant energy source for man. Following is an overview of hydropower. Hydropower As An Energy Platform Hydropower can be defined simply as using the energy of flowing water to generate power. With early man, this power was experienced in the form of propulsion as in moving wheels to grind food materials. With modern man, hydropower is used to turn turbines that produce electricity. In cases such as the Three Gorges Dam in China, this platform can be the basis of providing huge amounts of energy to countries in need. Solar vs. Oil - Solar power has long been a minor power source compared to mighty oil. As oil prices rise and conflicts occur in oil countries, perhaps the issue needs to be revisited. Solar vs. Oil The industrial revolution was built on the back of oil and coal. There is no denying that solar played no part whatsoever. This is particularly true since solar cells were not invented until the 1950s! That being said, it appears indisputable that we have reached or are approaching a new debate about how we deal with our insatiable thirst for power. Ways to Prevent Climate Modification - Climate modification is essentially the excessive heating of the planet, which results in dramatic climatic changes. So, are there ways to prevent climate modification? Ways to Prevent Climate Modification In many ways, the climate modification debate is benefiting from the current highly volatile issues concerning energy. The world wide industrial revolution has been powered by coal and oil. While coal is available in many countries, oil is not. Circumstances being what they are, the largest concentrations of oil are found in areas with significant political and armed conflict. One needs only look at the situation in Iraq to understand this fact. With the growing China economy, there now seems to be a universal understanding that oil alternatives are necessary. Renewable Energy Overview - As political and economic aspects of fossil fuels grow more harrowing, renewable energy is gaining popularity. Here's an overview of renewable energy. Renewable Energy Overview Renewable energy is more difficult to define than you might imagine. Since it is a catchall phrase for a variety of energy sources, any definition has to be broad. Overview of Tidal Energy - As the world looks for alternative fuel sources, tidal energy is starting to attract attention again. Following is an overview of tidal energy. Overview of Tidal Energy If you have ever lived near the ocean, you know about tides. Like clockwork, the tide rolls in and out moving massive amounts of water from here to there and back again. This massive movement of water also happens to contain a huge amount of energy. If the power of the tides could be converted to usable energy, many think tidal energy would be the answer to many of the energy problems in the world. There are two basic theories on how to convert tides into power. Negatives of Using Geothermal To Heat Your Home - Using the inherent heat in the ground, geothermal, is being pushed by many experts as a great energy source. While this is generally true, there are some negatives as well. There is no disputing that we need to wean ourselves off of fossil fuels. While alternative energy sources are clearly the answer, there is a problem. Advocates of alternative energy tend to become emotionally attached to one source and discount others. In truth, the answer to replacing fossil fuels is a combination of alternative energy platforms. Let's take a look at the problems associated with geothermal energy. First and foremost, there is an economic problem with using ground energy. Using The Ground to Cut Your Utility Bill - As fossil fuels get more expensive, society in general is starting to get serious about finding new power sources. Geothermal heating is a simple answer for homes. Geothermal heating is a fairly old concept that has gained a new life through advances in modern technology and materials. The concept is best explained using a basic example. In many parts of the world, homes come with basements.
