What Really Causes Global Warming?
If you are like most people you have been hearing about global warming for the past several years. To make matters worse most of what you have been hearing has been couched in scientific mumbo jumbo that is difficult if not impossible to understand and what little you could understand seemed to be conflicting theories as to whether or not global warming is really occurring and if it is what really causes it. Don't feel bad about your confusion it seems that even scientist are confused about the entire issue. Does It Really Exist? There are scientists who say that global warming not only exists but it is a threat to the entire planet and will result in more hurricanes, less food and eventually if not...
Is Global Warming Really Happening?
are still some people out there who refuse to believe that global warming is happening. Even some supposedly educated scientists still say that global warming is not happening, and that the way humans are treating the environment will not contribute to the destruction of the planet. How Can You Say Global Warming is Not Happening? You do not need to have a degree to know if global warming is happening or not. Nor do you need to study the huge number of white papers and reports where scientists discuss the state of the environment. Al you need to do is watch the changes to the climate in your local area to see that the world overall is getting hotter. Note that for the past several years, the...
How to Talk to a Global Warming Denier
Having dealt with deniers of global warming, who have in many cases been highly aggressive and unprincipled, I have come up with a quick checklist of what one needs to say if faced with a denier of global warming. The following are responses to some of the claims I have heard. Claim: What's wrong with Siberia becoming 2 degrees hotter? Answer: Very small proportion of the world's population lives in cold climates, whereas billions live in hot climates. For vast portion of the world's population, global warming means floods, hurricanes, destruction of cities and farmland, and vast loss of life and property. Claim: Some places in the world are having cold spells. Answer: Erratic weather events are...
You who read this, may be an engineer, a mechanic, an inventor, a student, or even someone without an engineering background. My observation is that the general public has little knowledge of basic science and even engineers and other professionals often lack in basic insights, in spite of being advanced in their specific fields. This often leads to unfeasible projects and wrong choices, based on wrong assumptions, that no computer can correct. I myself am a graduated engineer on B.Sc level in both mechanics and electrics. Nevertheless, most of what I know worth knowing as an engineer today, I learned from practical experience and backing it up with own theoretical studies afterwards. It forced me...
Where Does the Price of WiMax Fall Alongside...
As with clean, renewable energy technology, the internet revolution is caught in a bit of a Catch 22 situation. When the technology is new and there aren't as many subscribers, the cost of service is quite high. However, if everyone were to make the switch, the cost of truly wireless forms of broadband internet would drop significantly. They would be able to do this by eliminating the need to lay miles upon miles of fiber and construct complex infrastructure that not only costs a ton of money, but leaves potentially toxic permanently damaging marks on the face of Mother Nature. That being said, the latest in wireless broadband, WiMax internet, is making a change in the way people think about...
Solar Energy History - A Potted History of...
Solar energy history started when the Romans took the use of solar energy a step further by introducing glass windows, thereby trapping the heat of the sun. They were the first people to use glasshouses to create the right environment for plants and seeds to grow. History of solar power as we know it began in the 1860s when August Mouchet invented a solar-powered motor as well as a solar steam engine. He also made ice from solar energy by connecting his steam engine to a refrigeration device. In the 1870s, William Adams created what is known The Power Tower Concept. He used mirrors and solar energy to power a steam turbine. His concept is still in use today. The first solar was created by Charles...

When you mention living off the grid many people believe that you need to pack up your belongings (except for your electrical appliances) and head out to the mountains to live in a log cabin. Some are also under the impression that they need to give up all the conveniences of modern living such as their TV, Hi-Fi and air-con to adapt the lifestyle. The truth is that living off the grid is a real possibility for anybody. It is not impossible to provide sufficient power to run a bunch of power hungry appliances, although it would entail a larger and more expensive system. The development of more energy efficient appliances and fixtures has been sparked by the demand for renewable energy technology and...
What's So Great About Small Turbine Wind Energy?
Small turbine wind energy is the fastest growing of any renewable energy technology. It is produced in a similar way to how an alternator produces electricity as your car moves. The only difference is the air spins the turbine to produce the power. And as the wind speed increases the turbine produces more electricity. In windy regions, such as near coastlines, small turbine wind energy is an ideal way of producing power for households and businesses. Even if you do not live in a windy area, small turbine wind energy can still be used to supplement the electricity supply. What's more is, DIY energy guides have lately come about, where motivated people can learn to make their own small turbine wind...
Biogas Methane Explained
Biogas methane is methane created from biologically created organic matter. The important thing to remember is that the term has entered common usage through the need to distinguish biogas derived methane from fossil fuel methane. Fossil fuel derived methane is known as 'natural gas'. Natural gas comes from mineral reserves, where it has been stored in the ground since its formation from living plants and animals hundreds of thousands of years ago. Natural gas/methane also comes sometimes from coal mines and coal measures which emit it. So, in other words, biogas methane means 'green', 'renewable' methane, as opposed to natural gas which when burnt contributes to the greenhouse effect. In addition...
Many people are becoming interested in converting to renewable energy with the intention of saving both the environment and their pockets. Converting to solar energy is certainly one of the best routes to take, as the benefits are many. Join in, and you will see why it is worth the investment. Users of home solar panel systems have significantly reduced or eliminated electricity bills, which in itself satisfies most people after they have installed it. But apart from that, people are happy to know that over produced energy from a solar power system can be sold to the utility company, thereby negating their utility bills. From the environmental angle, solar panels contribute significantly to reduced...
Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) -...
A promising renewable energy technology that breaks down pre-existing concerns and hesitation about solar energy is called Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV). These systems actually build solar cells into the construction of a building. They look as natural as what would have been a conventional roof, window, awning, and even concrete. They are often made of flexible "thin film", which is also a relatively new and exciting technology. BIPV systems can provide savings in electricity costs for years to come. In some areas solar energy can almost completely replace conventional electric sources, but in almost every area the electricity provided can at least provide enough benefit to make...

Photovoltaic Cells - Nearly 60 Years Old &...
Solar cells have been around for almost sixty years. Throughout that time they have evolved from large, expensive, specialized curiosities in to tiny cells that are affordable & effective. Photovoltaic (or PV) cells had been stumbled upon back in the 1950s in the Bell Labs as a spin-off of transistor technology. It was discovered that when the suns rays strike a wafer of silicon it generated unexpectedly large number of free electrons. A panel with several silicon strips was made, placed in sunlight, the captured free electrons were converted into electric current & the first solar electric battery was born. Their first real test had been in the 1960s with the excitement surrounding the space race...

The Feed in Tariff Rewarding Renewable Energy
As the urgency of climate change becomes more and more apparent, the implementation of renewable energy technologies has grown imperative. In an effort to provide financial incentives for both the business and residential application of sustainable technologies such as solar thermal energy and wind power, many governments around the world have introduced variations of the feed-in tariff scheme. Basically, this scheme obligates electricity utilities to buy power from renewable sources at fixed, often above market rates (which can be structured to promote greater technology efficiency through stepped reductions in tariffs over an extended period of time). These rates normally represent a significant...
There are many advantages and benefits of renewable energy, global and economic wise. It's clear that we need a solution between the worsening shape of our environment and even more dire shape of our current economy. Consider the divided benefits between these two areas. The obvious advantages of renewable energy, global wise, is that it is great for the environment in a number of ways. It's renewable, meaning that we can stop agonizing over the energy crisis. It's true, fossil fuels are finite, there are only so many in the earth which we can use, and eventually they'll be gone. We've got to be prepared with renewable energy. It's also important to remember, especially for the average homeowner...

What is Global Warming
There seems to be a lot of controversy about global warming these days. Some say it is a fact, others say it isn't. But regardless of whether or not it is a fact, let's step aside from the arguments on the subject, and take a common-sense approach. let's take look at the issues involved. What is Global Warming? We can take a look at the definition of global warming - without taking sides or getting into vested interests, political motivations, reasons, or causes. The definition of global warming in its purity is "an overall increase in world temperatures." Whether this is caused by greenhouse emissions or a natural phenomenon, has no bearing on whether there is an average temperature increase. Is...
Definition For Global Warming - Along With...
The Definition for global warming--Introduction The temperature of planet earth has been on the rise due to the excessive release of carbon dioxide and various harmful gases into the atmosphere. These gases come from cars, factories, industries, air conditioners, etc. This leads to a phenomenon known as global warming. Definition for Global warming- Global warming can be simply defined as 'warming of the planet earth due to increase in the average temperature which is caused due to emission of various harmful gases into the environment.' Some amount of global warming is caused naturally(the earth goes through a cycle of climatic change). But scientists believe that the present and sudden warming is...
Many utilities offer renewable energy electricity to their customers. If you want to go a step further than purchasing renewable energy, you may be able to generate your own renewable energy by installing a wind turbine on your property. Household wind turbines consist of a tall tower supporting a turbine, the same as you'd see on a large commercial wind farm. Turbine pivots to catch the best wind, and sends the electricity generated to power your home. The best properties for turbines are larger than half an acre, with a 250 foot radius of unobstructed space to catch the wind. The turbine works best when operating 20 feet above the tallest obstruction, so a property with a 50 foot tree would...

When Schools Behave Badly
Schools behave badly sometimes. Systems and people are imperfect, so it's really unavoidable. However, some schools behave badly more often than others. The purpose of this article is not to bash schools, but to acknowledge that parents are often disadvantaged in the power stakes and can be left feeling alienated, talked about and treated with disrespect. The parents most likely to end up feeling this way are actually caring parents who try to address issues with the school on behalf of their children. This usually doesn't go down too well, as these parents are simply causing a problem from the school's point of view. Schools play by their own rules a lot of the time and those rules can be applied...

The Kind of Faith in God That Destroys
There is a faith, a so called Christian faith, that destroys. Those who hold such a faith, while sincere, do not understand faith from a scriptural point of view. Faith is all too often defined as "what I believe." There is more to saving faith than just believing in Jesus, believing he is the Son of God. If faith alone, defined as what one believes, could save by itself then even the demons could be saved for James says, "even the demons believe -- and tremble!" (James 2:19 NKJV) What they believed was that there was one God but by studying the gospel accounts one also knows they believed in Jesus for they often confessed him. One such example is Mark 3:11, "And whenever the unclean spirits...
