Solar water heaters are becoming more and more popular in the realm of solar heating, so I’ll start with these. Solar water heaters are great for your hot water tank and heat exchangers.
You can chose between 1) glazed flat plate collectors, 2) batch collectors or 3) vaccum tube collectors.
For now, lets look at glazed flat-plate […]

Most solar energy facts may not be new to you. For example, it creates no emissions - global warming friendly, it is renewable, it’s basically free once the initial costs have been recovered and theres virtually an endless supply (for about 20 billion years).
There were some solar energy facts that were new to me regarding […]
Have you ever wondered how to build a wind turbine? I must admit that I don’t have all the answers, but I found this amazing site you might be interested in.
If you really want to know how to build a wind turbine, check out this fellow.
His name is Hugh…
Piggott and he is head over […]

I can’t help but be attracted to wind turbines. Wind energy created by wind turbines is pollution free and its a infinite, sustainable form of energy.
I’d love to have one on my roof top LOL
These things don’t use fuel, they don’t produce…
greenhouse gasses nor do they produce toxins or radioactive waste.
How much better can it […]

The cost of energy efficiency as it turns out is proving to be quite profitible in the job sector.
Much to my likeness - and predictions I might add, energy efficiency investment growth potential will create - get this -
four times as much employment as those…
in our conventional energy production.
What a beautiful thought to tell your […]

Wind energy, as I’ve just discovered is surging by 40 per cent annually in Europe. It is also being actively promoted by the U.S. Wind energy is apparently now the fastest…
growing power source in the world. It is reported that in some areas, wind energy is now just as financially competitive as with electricity […]

Global warming does come with certain complexities especially when considering air travel.
Jet fuel bonds with oxygen (O2) in our air which forms carbon dioxide (CO2). Jet fuel also releases nitrous oxides, soot, sulphate and water vapour. Because of these emissions, they form “contrails”. Those are the “harmless” white airplane trails we see in the […]
Hurricane Katrina facts are now being summized.
Sady, New Orleans lost about 229,000 people between July 2005 - July 2006. Thats almost half the population.
Other hurricane Katrina facts report…
from The Census Bureau’s shows that many of the neighboring counties have doubled in population. These counties had to absorb 10’s of thousands of displaced persons.
What […]
Global warming and Al Gore are like corn on the cob and butter =) Can’t have one without the other.
Yahoo videos of a CBC broadcast showed yet again how the republicans are still skeptics. I mean, Senator James Inhofe noted Oklahoma had 3 of the coldest days in history this year,…
but that […]
What causes hurricanes can be a long explanation, but in short, it is a combination of it’s fuel (vapour from the oceans surface), heat combined with low pressure and wind.
What causes hurricanes to form…
is the wind that spirals inward to the center of the low pressure area. These winds encourage more vaporization from the […]
