Most of us are aware that are available but the new generation of are just now gaining popularity. These state-of-the-art heat pumps provide the same continuous and even heat or cooling just like the but they are far more efficient at doing so. So, if you are in need of a new heating/cooling system for you home or business, here are some reasons to consider purchasing a geothermal heat pump.

Let's face it--the environment is becoming a bigger and bigger issue for everyone. We are all looking for ways to use less energy and pollute less. Geothermal heat pumps are simply the most heating and cooling units available today. Plus, no system can rival a geothermal heat pump when it comes to energy efficiency or cost effectiveness. So, not only are these heat pumps environmentally friendly, they ultimately cost less to operate and consume less energy while doing so.

However, it is also very true that geothermal heat pumps will cost you more to purchase and install than other options. However, depending on the location and the cost of the other heating/cooling option, geothermal heat pumps will recover those added up-front costs within 6 or 7 years. After that point has been reached, geothermal heat pumps will save you money over the other heating/cooling options each and every single year it is in use. In the long run, these new age heating and cooling units will prove to be the most cost effective option available.

Geothermal heat pumps cool your home in the summer by removing excess heat and humidity from the home. This heat is then transferred to the earth where it naturally dissipates. The process is much quieter and less obtrusive than found in conventional heat pumps.

In the winter, geothermal units heat your home by forcing fluid through pipes buried in the ground. This fluid picks up radiant heat coming from the ground. The heat absorbed by the liquid is then compressed within geothermal heat pumps in order to raise the temperature. The heat is then distributed throughout your home.

Geothermal heat pumps also offer the added advantage of providing homeowners with free or drastically reduced hot water. This savings alone can add up to hundreds, potentially thousands, of dollars during the lifetime of a geothermal heat pump.

Although geothermal heat pumps are more expensive to purchase and install, they become the less expensive heating and cooling option as time progresses. Therefore, even if you are planning to move in the next few years but need a heating/cooling system right away, geothermal heat pumps may prove to be true selling points later on down the road. So, no matter what your plans for your home, installing a geothermal heat pump will always be a wise investment and provide you many worry-free years of heating and cooling comfort.

The geothermal heat pumps are considered environmentally friendly since the technology uses the earth as a heating and cooling source of energy. Geothermal heat pumps save consumers money because one geothermal heat pump can be used to heat and cool a building.

The geothermal heat pump does not need to burn fuel for heating or cooling. A geothermal heat pump transfers the into the home for heating purposes and absorbs heat from the home to cool it off. This system works ground pumps that collect the heat in . The heat is concentrated and stored in these pipes until it is needed. These same pipes will send the heat into the building upon command.

When the home is hot, the same heating pipes are used to draw the heat from the home. The heat air is cooled underground and sent back to the home. The geothermal heat pumps can be modified for use in , water heaters and to melt snow along walkways in the winter.

The system provides a steady stream of heat or cooled air into the home. Unlike other heating systems, the geothermal heat pump does not send particles into the air when it is working. Geothermal heat pumps also provide silent service which is a welcome change from noisy air conditioners or heating systems. The system is activated by a wall mounted thermostat which can be used to heat or cool the home.

A geothermal heat pump may be either a closed loop or . Households generally use a closed loop system. A closed loop system uses an underground pipe filled with a liquid solution to conduct heat or cool air. The open loop system uses ground water or the earth to transfer the heat or cool air.

The geothermal heat pumps require an annual cleaning. Cleaning means that an acid based wash will be used on the pipes. With regular maintenance, the system will work well with infrequent need to replace parts. The air filter should be checked and cleaned as often as once a month. A technician can provide any further details about the operation and care of the geothermal heat pump.

Owners of geothermal heat pumps can save money on their heating and cooling bills. Despite the cost of buying and installing the system, owners report significant savings from using the geothermal heat pumps in comparison to heating or cooling the home with more traditional systems. Since the temperature of the ground and ground water remains between 45 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year, it allows the geothermal heat pump a continual source of warm or cool air. Fans of the geothermal heat pumps claim that they save almost half the money that they would have otherwise spent on their heating bills and up to 30% on their costs to cool their home.

Geothermal heat pumps are used in homes, commercial and industrial buildings. Their ability to save on heating and cooling costs is a tremendous attraction for many consumers. As an alternative heat source, the geothermal heat pump has a great future.If you are considering installing a geothermal heat pump to save money on your heating bills check out out geothermal heat pumps guide.]]> Sun Sational Energy http://www.artwoo.com/article/sun-sational-energy http://www.artwoo.com/article/sun-sational-energy#comments Mon, 15 May 2006 09:32:05 +0000 solar energy societysolar energy systemamerican solar energyinternational solar energygeothermal energyamerican solar energy societybiofuels http://www.artwoo.com/article/sun-sational-energy Solar Energy Society is a national non-profit group that dedicates itself to promoting and advancing solar energy use to benefits the national as well as global environment. It is the ASES mission to promote widespread use of solar engery for the short term as well as long term.

The Society publishes a bi-monthly magazine that has won a number of awards. Called Solar Today, it covers all facets of solar energy and other renewable energy technological breakthroughs. Continuous topics addressed in the issues include case study building, solar and other energy policies and projects on a community-wide scale.

ASES is the U.S. arm of the Society, and as such dedicates itself to adoption and development of renewable energy including solar energy, wind energy, hydrogen energy, , ocean energy, energy from and overall energy efficiency.

Some specific and ongoing ASES projects include the promotion of regional and national short and long term solar energy sue, the organization of the national conference on solar energy, the annual nationwide solar tour, and the online newsletter, the Sunbeam. ASES also sponsors roundtable discussion on solar energy and related issues in our nation's capital, distributes publications of interest to solar energy advocates, and organizes a network for solar action.

On its Web site ASES publishes answers to frequently asked solar energy questions. Here are some of the more commonly asked questions and their answers.

Can solar energy be used for my home or my business? How do I determine if I will have enough sun for it?

The answer is that there are few places where the solar energy would not be adequate to meet at least some of your needs. A solar energy system designer in your area, or an installer or builder or solar architect can assess your requirements for power, your property, the type of system you would need, the availability of sun and other factors to make the determination if your solar energy system would meet your power needs. Typically, a solar energy system will give off plenty of energy even on a cloudy day. It will just give you less than on a sunny day.

The next question is about whether solar electricity can be used to heat a home or office's water? The answer is that this is impractical, as a solar water heating system is much more cost effective. Similar, if you want to heat a small space you could do this best with equipment that creates solar thermal heat with passive solar designs or collectors that are transpired. http://energy-hq.com Learn everything you need to know about Energy, from conserving it to energy drinks ]]> Ground Source (also Called Geothermal) Heat Pumps: Heat And Cool Your Home Without Gas Or Oil http://www.artwoo.com/article/ground-source-also-called-geothermal-heat-pumps-heat-and-cool-your-home-without-gas-or-oil http://www.artwoo.com/article/ground-source-also-called-geothermal-heat-pumps-heat-and-cool-your-home-without-gas-or-oil#comments Sun, 30 Mar 2008 06:20:01 +0000 ground source heat pumpsground source heatground source heat pumpsource heat pump systemsclosed loop systemshot water heaterheat pump systems http://www.artwoo.com/article/ground-source-also-called-geothermal-heat-pumps-heat-and-cool-your-home-without-gas-or-oil pumps (GSHPs), often called geothermal heat pumps, tap into the heat naturally generated many meters below the surface of the earth. Just a little ways down, the earth's temperature is warm and relatively stable, so these systems can bring controllable and effective heating, cooling, and hot water to residential and commercial buildings. Best of all, they allow people to do all this without having to use expensive and carbon-producing fossil fuels such as oil and gas.

There are two types of systems: those with closed loops and those with open loops. In , liquid (usually with some sort of antifreezing/antiboiling agent mixed in) circulates through pipes buried beneath the earth's surface. During the winter, when the goal is warming a house, the fluid absorbs heat from the earth and carries back to the building. This very hot liquid can be effectively used to heat a home, and also quite obviously becomes a free-flowing source of useable hot water. During the summer, the system is designed to actually draw heat out of the building, and either use it to heat water for household use or deliver it back into the ground. Open looped systems are similar, except that the water supply within the pipes is continually refreshed.

The bulk of geothermal (GSHP) systems are the pipes that are buried far underground, so what is needed in your home is a unit likely no bigger than your current and furnace.

If you currently use oil, you may be able to get rid of or at least substantially downsize the size of your oil tank. Many people worry about the longevity and upkeep costs of this type of system because the bulk of the cost goes into burying the pipe underground. Recently however many companies have been offering 40-75 year warranties on the parts of the system that is buried.



If you already have a forced air oil or gas-fed furnace system it may be easy for you to convert to what is called a "dual system". In this case you would choose which heating and cooling system would be primary at any particular time - most likely the geothermal system - and the other system will only work when needed, such as during an extremely cold spell in the winter.

GSHPs are quiet and safe. There are no exposed parts, fans, storage tanks, etc. that can hurt kids or pets. Nothing is burned so there is no flame. The heating source is the earth so there is nothing to wear out. They are also quiet because the earth is doing the work of the motors in your current furnace.

The initial cost for ground source heat pumps is greater than that of a conventional oil or gas system. However, that initial cost is often made up in three to six years depending on the cost of fuel and the temperature in your area. The greatest benefit of these systems is that you no longer have to use oil or gas at all, so not only are you not subject to the price fluctuations and uncertainty of these fuels, but you also reduce your own "carbon footprint" in the process.

Ground source systems are easy to install, particularly when they are replacing another forced-air system. In this case it is as simple as a retrofit after the pipes are placed. However, they can also be installed to completely replace the system you already have. If you don't already have central air conditioning, that can be an automatic and immediate benefit of these systems. Contact an experienced installer and he or she can tell you exactly what would be involved in installing a geothermal heat pump in your home.

Only when you narrow down the choices for alternative heating or cooling based on where you live, can you begin to focus your time and energy on the most relevant, cost effective heating solution.

Urban Alternative Heating

Geothermal, outdoor furnaces and most wind power are not suitable for urban or small-lot suburban homes. Except for very small wind turbines (i.e., with rotors one meter or less in diameter) on very small towers, a property size of one acre or more is desirable.

have been used in urban areas for as long as I can remember.I bought my first air tight stove in 1976. Corn and are quickly gaining acceptance as new installations or replacements for existing .

One Connecticut pellet stove dealer I spoke with said he sold so many wood pellet and corn stoves last winter he was forced to temporarily close one of his two stores for lack of product.

An adaptation of the wood or pellet stove is the fully vented fireplace insert. They are comparably priced to and offer a simple way to turn an otherwise inefficient fireplace into a source of heat for multiple rooms.

Unvented or propane space heaters are less expensive to purchase and install but are controversial with respect to health risks and are prohibited in some localities. Make sure the unit you purchase has an ODS (). This safety device turns off the heater when the oxygen in the room drops below 18%. (Normal is around 21%)

Decorative gel fireplaces are nice to look at, but aren't considered legitimate heating devices.

Electric and hydronic (hot water) radiant heat are extremely versatile and can be installed anywhere. The hydronic application of radiant heat can be fueled by anything from corn to gas and can be adapted to heat driveways, hot tubs and of course, your home.

Solar for hot water is on the rise in urban areas. A neighbor of mine in the Port Norfolk section of Boston recently installed a solar array on the roof of his two family home. His contractor did a first rate job and it doesn't detract from the visual appeal of his house at all. He also says his hot water bill now costs him "chump change".

Let's not forget the ever popular space heater. For many elderly homeowners who spend most of their time in one room of their home, a space heater is the least expensive way to supplement their conventional heating system.

Suburban Alternative Heating

Suburban lot sizes can run anywhere from of an acre to three acres. But even a quarter acre lot opens up the possibility of a vertical closed loop geothermal system.

A three acre lot will afford you the space to install a slightly less expensive horizontal closed loop geothermal system, a wind turbine or even an outdoor wood, pellet or corn furnace.

At approximately $5000, the outdoor furnace is your least expensive option. A quality 1,800 watt wind turbine and tower can be purchased for $7,000. If geothermal is your system of choice, a new 3,000 sq. ft. home can be heated and cooled for around $20,000. Rebates and tax credits could reduce this amount substantially.

For instance, if you partner with a program such as Energy Crafted Home in Connecticut, it's possible to receive a rebate of $713 per ton of geothermal heating/cooling capacity. For the 3,000 sq. ft. home just mentioned, it would mean a rebate of $2,971.

Although wind, geothermal and outdoor furnace systems are more expensive than the typical $2000 wood pellet stove, they are very efficient and pay for themselves in only a few years.

The increasingly popular manufactured home is a growing segment of the suburban real estate market, and fire safety codes are very specific as to what you can use to heat your home.

Check with your local building department to find out exactly which alternative heating appliances are permitted before you start shopping for the best deal.

Rural Alternative Heating

Just as the sky and landscape open up in rural America, so do opportunities for alternative heating.

With so much room to work with, you could easily design a CHP (Combined Heat and Power Unit) and heat your home for 70% less than fuel oil.

A possible CHP for homeowners in the Corn Belt would be an outdoor corn furnace for heat and hot water, coupled with a wind turbine for electricity

If your property includes a shallow pond or lake, a closed loop geothermal system will heat and cool your home for the cost of electricity to operate a heat pump.

The choices for alternative heating are plentiful no matter where you live. It's just a matter of knowing where you fit in. http://www.alternative-heating-info.com offers a unique look into geothermal heating and cooling, radiant heating, solar heating systems and pellet burning stoves. ]]> An Overview Of Solar Energy And Other Renewable Energy Sources http://www.artwoo.com/article/an-overview-of-solar-energy-and-other-renewable-energy-sources http://www.artwoo.com/article/an-overview-of-solar-energy-and-other-renewable-energy-sources#comments Thu, 14 Jun 2007 17:14:53 +0000 renewable energy sourcesfossil fuel energyfossil fuelsgreenhouse gasesfuel gasespower sourcessolar power water http://www.artwoo.com/article/an-overview-of-solar-energy-and-other-renewable-energy-sources fossil fuel energy for reasons other than the factor of non-depletion.

One basic benefit of renewable energy, and the reason environmentalists all over the globe are advocate its use, is that it does give off and other harmful pollutants as do the by-products of burning fossil fuel for energy. Renewable energy such as solar power, water power and wind power, while the widespread discussion of which is new, are anything but new.

In both newly developing and highly developed countries wind, sun and water have long been used as , though not to the extent of providing the primary energy source for large metropolitan communities.

The mass production of such renewable energy is become commonplace in recent years as more and more people come to realize how climate is changing due to the pollution of fossil , due to the exhaustion of the availability of these and the political and social concerns of energy sources such as nuclear power.

Many countries and non-profit environmentally-conscious organizations are encouraging the use of by passing legislation on tax incentives for their use and subsidies to offset the added expense of converting from fossil fuel to renewable energy.

The flow of renewable energy involves phenomena that occur naturally in our world. Tides, sunlight, wind and heat derived by geothermal occurrences all provide renewable energy. Each of these energy sources is unique both in where we can use them and how.

Most technology that converts renewable energy into power sources we can use are powered at least in part by the Sun if not directly at least indirectly. The earths atmospheric system stays in such equilibrium that the heat that it gives off radiates into space to an amount equal to the radiation that comes to earth from the sun.

The result of this energy level within the atmosphere is roughly translated to the climate of the earth. The water of the earth, also referred to its hydrosphere, absorbs a lot of the radiation that comes to us from the sun.

Most of the radiation gets absorbed at the lower latitudes of the earth that exist around the equator. This energy gets dissipated all around the globe, however, in the form of ocean and wind currents.

The motion of the ocean waves might have a role in transference of mechanical energy between the ocean and the earths atmosphere by way of wind stress. Solar energy also provides the means by which precipitations is distributed and then tapped by hydroelectric energy projects as well as plant growth that then creates biofuels.

Many third party suppliers of energy provide green energy electricity that is produced from renewable resources. This energy is delivered to consumers by way of their local electric utility company. The consumer who opts for this green pays a small premium each month on her or his utility bill as the additional cost of the green energy they are getting. The other option is to buy directly from the green energy supplier.

Of course, when a consumer buys the green energy via the local utility company he or she can not know its really green energy in other words, they do not know that they truly got what they paid extra for. It is a matter of trust. The local electric company buys the electricity from the various producers. These can be nuclear, coal, hydroelectric power on a large scale or green such as solar and .

Must electricity from the local utility company in any country comes from fossil fuels or nuclear power that is not renewable and or pollutes the environment to a high and dangerous level. Green energy is the current provider of a of our worlds electricity. In fact, when utility companies buy green energy for the consumers that request it they generally only buy 25 percent of what they ultimately provide to all.

Consumers who sign up with their local utility provider to pay a premium each month for green energy are not only helping to save their environment but they are also sending a message to the utility companies and the legislature that they are willing to pay extra for healthy air for us all.

There are environmentally conscious, forward thinking countries such as the Netherlands that have committed themselves to matching their consumers purchase of green energy with an equal amount of green energy buy for governmental use. The government of Holland exempts green energy producers and users from its pollution tax. This exemption brings the cost of green energy consumption down considerably.

Several organizations in Europe promote the consumption of green energy, and there are a number of green energy providers, although the high cost of electricity in those countries has kept the use of the less expensive gas and oil the majority provider.

At work now are efforts to distribute cheap renewable electricity in these countries so the average electrical consumer can afford to support the environment and clean air efforts with the use of green energy products. Consumers can install their very own renewable green energy system, based locally.

This may be solar, wind or even water power. Geothermal heat pumps also provide green energy by tapping a few feet into the earths temperature.

Many U.S. states now offer monetary incentives for those who want to use the more costly green energy electricity sources.

It is a term used to classify the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun and intercepted by the Earth. It is the world's most permanent and reliable source of energy and the most copious.

The uses of solar energy on earth include solar heating for buildings, solar heat for manufacturing or industry and electricity production. So what is solar energy? How does it affect us?

Solar energy is responsible for and . It provides light, heat, and energy to all living things on Earth. It has many uses. It supplies electricity; it can be used to power cars.

Solar energy is also used as a power for satellites in space and in . It could also power boats, generators during emergencies, toys, and even security systems.

The amount of solar energy that the earth receives is about 770 kilowatts (kW), an amount 5,000 times bigger than the sum of all other energy, may it be terrestrial nuclear energy, or gravitational energy.

There are two types of solar energy. These are:

1. Thermal Energy 2. Electric Energy

What is the difference between the two types energy?

Thermal energy is kinetic energy. It is everywhere. It makes the earth hot and even heats up our homes. It helps us to dry our clothes. It is used as well to heat up water for household use or even pools. That is why thermal energy is called the heat energy because it is stored in the center of the earth as well.

Electric energy is widely known to us as the electricity. It is an essential part of nature and it is one of our most widely used forms of energy. This uses sunlight to power ordinary electrical equipment, such as household appliances, computers, and lighting.

Most applications of solar energy depend on systems including collectors, storage and controls. Storage is needed for a reason that solar energy is only available at daylight hours, but the demand for energy is needed both day and night. Controls are used to guarantee that the storage system works safely and efficiently.

The accessibility of solar energy is determined by three factors:

• The location is usually measured by latitude, longitude and altitude. • The time. • The weather.

Aside from knowing that solar energy is a free energy still, you have to realize that it also has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages are:

• Solar energy is almost limitless; it will be available for as long as there are still humans in the earth. • It is abundant. You will not worry of running out of it. • It could provide more power than all known fossil fuel reserves. • Solar energy is available during the day when electricity usage is really important. • It is the most inexhaustible, renewable source of energy known to man. • Solar energy can be absorbed, reflected, transmitted, and insulated. • It can be collected and stored in batteries.

The disadvantages are:

• It is not suitable in cloudy areas. • It is not available at night time. • And it may require large land areas.

As a reminder, solar energy levels are lesser the farther north the site. Considering geography, season is an important determinant of solar energy levels because the Sun's position and the weather vary greatly from summer to winter. If man can harness the power of the sun the opportunities are limitless. Solar energy has so much potential that we owe it to ourselves to explore this awesome source of power.

While some companies, particularly those who only represent a single industry (i.e. solar power, wind energy), will sell you equipment and teach you how to harvest natural energy yourself, Green Mountain Energy buys electricity and power from companies that produce a number of different types of energy. They buy solar energy, wind energy, biomass, water power, natural gas and geothermal energy from other companies and feed all of it into one central power grid.

Green Mountain Energy reps then sell the energy to customers who are looking to use cleaner energy. While using the energy provided by Green Mountain Energy will certainly be more expensive than the power bought from a company, it is worth it if you are committed to living a greener lifestyle.

Green Mountain Energy markets its energy to customers who live in Texas. They market their energy through individual sales representatives. These and only sell the product to customers who live there (though someday this may change). The Green Mountain Energy earn their money primarily by signing up new customers. The Reps earn a bonus for every customer they convert to Green Mountain Energy usage. They also earn a residual income from the monthly bills paid by the customers they have signed up.

This could be a risky venture, in that you won't know how many customers you are going to sign up in one day. There could be some heavy selling involved to get potential consumers to leave their current utility company and convert to Green Mountain Energy. Not everybody believes in "living green" and trying to convert those people is almost impossible. The real money to be had is in the monthly residuals. Of course, to get those residuals, you need to sign up new customers and those customers need to continue to use Green Mountain Energy as their utility provider. This could be a very time intensive process.

As of press time, the official website for potential Green Mountain Energy Representatives was not available for perusal, so details on becoming a Green Mountain Energy Representative are few. We could not find information on multi level marketing opportunities or how often the representatives get paid. Our official recommendation is to spend some time exploring the official Green Mountain Energy representative site as well as the official Green Mountain Energy corporate site to learn more about the company, what you might be selling and why it is important to sell it.

As time goes on more and more people are willing to "go green" or to attempt "going green." There is no doubt that Green Mountain Energy won't be a solely Texan endeavor for long. Anybody who has lived through rolling blackouts is probably ready and willing to jump on the Green Mountain Energy system.Learn the Lemons from the Straight MLM Winners and read about Green Mountain Energy from Brian Garvin and Jeff West at MLM Review Kings.

Wind energy is one option when it comes to renewable power. Large spinning turbines harvest the movement of the air, and the energy is transferred into an for usage in any application. While it's not available everywhere, wind energy represents one of the fastest sectors of growth when it comes to alternative power sources, and it is consequently one of the most widely used alternative sources. , since the year 2000, the number of present in the United States has more than doubled!

Solar power is another significant source of renewable energy. known as photovoltaics are placed on sun-catching areas such as the roof of a house. These cells turn light energy into electricity, and enough electric panels can provide power for an entire home, leaving you independent of the energy companies altogether.

represents a source of energy that is not commonly discussed. Heat from underneath the earth's surface is harvested as steam, which helps to spin a turbine much in the way of wind power. The spinning motion is sent to an electricity generator, and the power can be used in any modern application.

Low impact hydropower represents another significant source of renewable energy. Incorporating the use of a turbine, hydropower is created in streams and rivers which produce enough of a force to properly spin the turbines. Many aspects of hydropower need to be approved to ensure that the turbines do not significantly effect wildlife that may be living in the area where the energy is being harvested. Most hydropower sources do not dam a river up; they operate with the river in free-flow as to minimize the effect on the environment.

While these sources may not be easy to come by, your conscience can be unburdened regarding the climate crisis by switching to one of these environmentally friendly sources of energy.

This facility offers programs in a wide variety of renewable energy topics which span the various green energy resources such as wind, water, sun, biomass and even nuclear. NREL also conducts ongoing research and development in the areas of . Each area of research is further enhanced by functions that cut across the various programs and reach out to industries for partnerships. These collaborations on renewable energy could include the transfer of technology, energy analysis and the integration of the various programs of each collaborator.

The 12 program areas of the are wind and hydropower technology intergovernmental projects on weatherization the technology of solar energy industrial energy efficient technology the technology of fuel cells, hydrogen and building infrastructures geothermal technology the technology of vehicles and the Freedom Car energy management by the U.S. federal government energy-efficient building systems biomass and analytic studies. Each of these NREL programs is conducted by technology management experts whose capabilities and expertise span the programs wide range.

The Analytic Studies Program at NREL studies a wide variety of renewable energy analysis to support the programs and initiatives in place at the Lab. It also works with the Office for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy EERE as well as the energy analysis community at large. The labs Office of Energy Analysis integrates this analysis and supports its functions and the functions of the various research programs and centres of technology throughout the NREL.

Those who study renewable energy analysis do so in five major interest areas. They look at the technologies involved in renewable energy, the benefits of the initiatives, and the markets for renewable energy, the policies that affect its implementation and embracement, and the analysis of the various programs. Many research programs are covered that include assessments of life cycles, vehicular systems, Web-based applications to assess renewable energy possibilities and programs. The aim of this analysis is to understand how technology, policy, markets and the various software applications can interactive to the success of expansive and continuing renewable energy programs.

The study of biomass is an important ingredient in the renewable energy implementation. Biomass offers a terrific opportunity to make use of sustainable as well as domestic resources for the production of power and fuel and the meeting of chemical needs through plants and t he material derived from them. Biomass starts with grasses, trees, biological material and agriculture. These can be used as renewable energy, either solid or through conversion to liquid or gas. These can produce electricity, chemicals, fuel or heat.

An important part of this NREL program is the development of energy-efficient and cost effective biomass technology that will reduce the U.S. dependence on oil from foreign countries, while it grows rural economies in our own country and improves the quality of our air.

The money is rolling in so fast that they don't know what to do with it. The spike in demand resulting from the economic 'awakening' of the populous Asian countries is also putting pressure on global oil supplies, and more oil fields are becoming depleted.

ExxonMobil, Shell Oil, BP and the other don't want to, or are not equipped to, deal with the reality that their market is slipping away. They know that will soon be coming on line. But they're happy with things just the way they are.

Their lobbyists are making sure Congress is aware of this. Just as the tobacco Industry in the 1970's tried to disassociate smoking and cancer, the oil companies' incessant TV, radio and newspaper ads are pushing "Junk Science" to retain their business model.

Despite clear evidence that America's oil dependency is unsustainable, the major firms are determined to "stay the course." They remain focused on finding oil, natural gas and coal, refining it to use in a multitude of products, and selling these products at a good profit.

How can we break free of this deeply destructive cycle? Fortunately, it's an election year. We need to make our voices heard at the , through letters to the editor, by call-ins to talk radio, and by contacting our Congressmen and Senators.

Environmentalists and concerned citizens need to tell all Americans that:

• Global warming is a reality.

• Maintaining a continuous oil supply, at any price, is an increasingly difficult challenge. If you don't believe this, just wait for a major that shuts down our .

• The cost of oil is hurting the economy of the entire world, not just the United States.

Energy Solutions

America needs a portfolio of energy solutions, because no single technology is enough to guarantee immediate success and reliability. This portfolio includes:

• Conservation: Using the energy that we have more wisely as both a short and long-term solution. For example, Europe uses less than 1/2 the energy per person than we do in North America. If we copy their proven technologies, we could cut our oil usage in half. Then, we'll have 12.5 million barrels of oil per day available to reduce oil imports and pay for the cost of new technologies. These new technologies include: more efficient and smaller cars and appliances, more efficient lighting, better building insulation, plus heat and moisture recovery from HVAC systems in large buildings.

• Renewable energy: Creating intermediate and long-term solutions through policy decisions that focus on developing renewable energy sources that don't increase the amount of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere. We can decide to develop and use geothermal (heat from the earth), solar, wind, and tidal (ocean wave) energy.

• Improved technology: Discovering ways to use less energy per unit of production as a short-term initiative. One example requires the cooperation of companies that own mineral processing plants. These plants, which manufacture lime, Portland cement and other materials by cooking minerals in a kiln, can be optimized by using sophisticated mathematical modeling. They can use the information from the models to better control and reduce the amount of oil or natural gas needed to heat the minerals. However, these companies will act only when they are unable to recover their fuel costs from their customers.

Getting The Word Out

We need a massive worldwide energy education program which focuses governments and private investors on:

a) Generating renewable energy at a competitive cost -- including solar, geothermal, wind, tide, nuclear, and biomass energy (ethanol) -- which does not contribute to greenhouse gases. As we invest in developing these energy sources, the prices will come down and their reliability will increase.

b) Eliminating the emission of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide) from carbon-based energy sources like coal, oil, and natural gas.

c) Providing generous financing for renewable energy sources.

If you're worried about the environmental health of our planet and your children's and grandchildren's future, it's up to you to speak out. Now is the time to make our case to the media, elected officials, political candidates and big business.

Energy Audit

You can hire a professional to evaluate your home's energy efficiency, or perform your own inspection. The areas most likely to give you trouble are inadequate water heater and home insulation, and the leaks around windows and doors that reduce the efficiency of your heating and cooling systems, depending on the season. Check the U.S. Department of Energy's website for more recommendations.

Big Savings at Tax Time

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT) offers consumers and businesses the opportunity to earn for buying energy-efficient products such as and home appliances. Your potential savings are impressive, particularly coupled with any additional tax incentives your state may offer for choosing energy-efficient products. To learn more about state tax rebates, check with your state government office.

Products that qualify for federal tax credits under the EPACT include most solar-powered water heaters and energy-efficient features such as roofs, insulation, and heating/cooling systems. If the cost of updating your home is intimidating, you might take advantage of today's low home mortgage rates and apply for a home equity or line of credit loan (HELOC). The interest paid on these types of loans may be tax-deductible and provide another financial break!

Shopping Smarter

Selecting "green" appliances is easier, thanks to the Energy Star system, which is designed to help consumers identify energy-efficient models. Other innovative choices include money-saving and , which use an underground pump to cool the house in summer and provide heating in winter.

What about new home construction? According to the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency, new homes that qualify for the Energy Star rating can save their owners hundreds of dollars in utility bills for services. This could translate to thousands of dollars back in your wallet, over the time you live in that energy-efficient home.

Whether you're building a new home or upgrading an existing property, taking time to research "green" options makes sense. Rising oil prices and fluctuating home mortgage rates can mean higher prices at the pump and tighter monthly cash-flow. Energy-efficient products and technology go a long way to helping you manage your expenses and protecting our environment from potential harm.

Fortunately, blackouts were avoided because Californians did their part and responded quickly to calls for conservation. And according to industry forecasts, we had just enough electricity to get us through the summer months. That's the good news for California residents.

High Temps Tax Grid

Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that we'll be this lucky next summer, or in the years to come. Not only are temperatures predicted to rise over the next decade, but according to a recent study by the , the state's population is expected to grow to nearly 60 million by 2050 -- an increase of 74 percent during a 50-year period.

As the temperatures and population continue to trend upward, so will our state's demand for energy. This new demand will further strain our already-taxed energy grid, jeopardizing energy supplies. And as our becomes increasingly more burdened and demand begins to outgrow supply, consumers can also expect to pay more for power.

Boost State Capacity

So, how can we safeguard our state's energy future? We must start investing in new power lines today. The (http://www.energy.ca.gov/), the California and the U.S. Department of Energy have all stressed the need for new transmission to strengthen California's energy grid and ensure reliable energy supplies.

The energy commission has also cited California's lack of transmission as a significant impediment to accessing new sources of energy, such as solar and wind power, which can help meet increased demand and improve our environment.

Luckily, several new transmission projects have already been proposed and are currently under review by the California Public Utilities Commission. One of these is a project called the Sunrise Powerlink (http//www.sunrisepowerlink.com). The Sunrise Powerlink transmission line would be located in the San Diego region, an area recently designated by the DOE as one of two draft national interest electric transmission corridors because of its lack of energy infrastructure and its economic importance to the entire state.

So, why is a transmission project in San Diego important to all Californians? New transmission lines, regardless of where they're built, help relieve the burden on existing lines, bolstering the state's energy grid and improving reliability and market stability for all energy customers.

Approve Powerlink

San Diego is also near the Imperial Valley, an area rich in renewable-energy potential. Unfortunately, much of this green power currently remains untapped because of the lack of transmission to deliver it where it's needed.

If approved, the Sunrise Powerlink would access vast supplies of solar, wind and geothermal energy, helping California meet its goals of increasing the use of renewable energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

By approving new transmission projects, the California Public Utilities Commission can help our state make significant strides toward a safe, reliable and clean energy future. With any luck, someday we may not have to hold our breath when the mercury starts to rise. William J. Keese served as Chairman of the California Energy Commission from March 1997, when he was initially appointed by Governor Pete Wilson, until his retirement on April 30, 2005. He is a major supporter of the Sunrise Powerlink initiative.

For once, you cannot drink them whenever you feel you want to. This is one of the biggest factor that differentiates 5-hour energy drinks from the rest.

The makers of 5-hour energy drinks only have one purpose in mind when they created this kind of beverage. That is to give an instant supply of energy that you will need to get through the day. It might be because you have tons of work that needs all your physical strength or those athletes that are preparing for a game or competition. These are mostly the people who take advantage of 5-hour energy drinks.

There are those who prefers other drinks to consume. But those who want an additional and strength is better off taking 5-hour energy drink.

You have to take a lot of consideration first before you drink these drink. Unlike its other counterpart, drinking them for pleasure is not advisable. And you cannot drink them whenever you feel like it. But if you feel that you will be needing all the energy you can get, then 5-hour energy drinks is definitely the best option to take.

What is 5-hour energy drink?

The concept of 5-hour energy drinks may have arouse from the need to get on with the day even if you have been through a full night of partying and lots of drinking. In simple terms, people need something to sure their hangovers. Something that can help them face the day without the hangover catching up every now and then.

This is the same concept behind 5-hour energy drinks. Those who opt to drink this are those who need a sudden burst of energy to accomplish a task or duty. All this they can do even if they have just been through a rough day or a late that seem to consume all of their .

How does 5-hour energy drink works?

Once you have taken a shot of 5-hour energy drinks, all your reserve energy will be back at its fullest. You will find that in just a short span of time, the feeling of weakness will disappear. In its place is the strength and energy that is the same as when you had a good night sleep or a day of rest. This is how 5-hour energy drink works.

If you think that you cannot get on with the things you need to do for the day, taking an ounce of 5-hour energy drink is enough to renew and rejuvenate your body so that you can last the whole day without any trouble at all. And this is never mind the fact that you have yourself a hangover or have already done many things before you took the 5-hour energy drink. Should you or should you not drink 5-hour energy drinks?

As was already mentioned, 5-hour energy drinks are not something to take when you feel the urge to. You need to need the additional energy before you take this kind of energy drink.

All you need is a small shot of 5-hour energy drink that will then equate to 100% pure energy. As this is not for purposes of taste and enjoyment, you need to endure its tasteless appeal to be able to make the most of the purpose that 5-hour energy drinks are known for.

In selecting your preferred home, you should also take into consideration these factors which make modular homes one of the best options. From waste management, to resource allocation, to energy efficient designs, the modular home industry is meeting the challenge to e environmentally conscious and socially responsible.

If you have ever seen a site where local contractors are building a home, debris and overflowing waste sits in a dumpster waiting for transfer to a waste facility or dump. How much of the material thrown away could actually be used in other projects or be recycled for future use? Actually quite a bit. In a factory setting where modular homes are constructed, waste is limited to the bare minimum. Lumbar cut from one home will be used on the next if possible. The same occurs with other materials including drywall, insulation, electrical wiring, etc. In addition, the that remains often is handled through recycling efforts. Many manufacturers have affiliations with lumbar yards that recycle in return for their business. Waste management offers a significant advantage in modular home construction.

Resources are always limited in general, and in today's age of and , energy is has the largest focus. By constructing homes inside a climate controlled factory, the amount of energy consumed per house is remarkably less than energy spent per house while building on site. Conservation of space leads to conservation of energy. In addition, are better utilized as more efficient work is generated per employee compared to on-site jobs. And lastly, time may be our most valuable resource. By reducing the construction time to several weeks instead of several months, time plus all forms of energy resources are saved. Each of these makes the modular home industry a leader in conservation.Â

The other major area of being environmentally responsible is in the area of design. Architectural designs within the modular home industry have truly targeted energy efficiency in their efforts. "Non-livable" space reductions in design as well as making layouts conducive to better heat and air circulation reduce the demands of energy consumption for the homes. In addition, many homes have options for solar panels, geothermal systems, and other alternative energy sources if the consumer desires. While these measures are also possible within site-built home, the factory setting allows these designs to be more conducive to large scale manufacturing. This can create a larger impact in the housing market faster.

It goes without saying that as a society and planet the environment demands our attention. It is appropriate for all industries to consider these requirements and make the best effort to lead in a direction of ecologically friendly products and services. Through resource allocation, waste management, and innovative design, the modular home industry is taking this responsibility seriously; and current measures in place offer further advances for the futureMichael Zenga is a Modular Home Builder in the Boston, MA area. He founded ZN Custom Building, in 2002, which specializes in modular home construction.

Despite this fact, more and more drinks are being manufactured everyday. This is answer to the need of those people who are living a and need all the energy they can get.

This is one of the reasons why energy drinks have become the "hottest" thing ever to be manufactured. Everywhere you go, you will different kinds of energy drinks being sold. And it should not surprise you that you see consumers having one or two of these in hand.

Manufacturers of energy drinks were wise enough to present them in attractive colors, tasty flavors and fancy containers. Why a lot of persons are drawn to try out one in the first place is may be because of their appearances.

Another factor is the promise of additional energy that comes with taking these drinks. And this is besides the fact that you can get that without having to put on some calories or weight. Another plus factor to those who are body conscious and takes their diet seriously.

Energy drinks versus water.

One of the better uses for water is for good digestion and hydration. But when you need to do workouts and some hard work that make use of physical energy, water cannot substitute for the nutrients and energy that your body have lost in the process.

This is where energy drinks comes in handy. They replace the electrolyte that you lost through sweating. It can also quench the you will feel on the duration of your activity. If you want to make it through the long hard day, energy drinks is the one you need.

Energy drink consumers.

Although there are a lot of people who are taking energy drinks because of its thirst quenching ability, energy drinks are highly advisable to those persons that are going through strenuous activity for .

This is why athletes are the prime consumer of energy drinks. They are also the first person that energy drink manufacturers are approaching once they are in the process of presenting new products out in the market. Who can market their product better than those who need these energy drinks the most?

But then, athletes are not the only ones taking advantage of the benefits of energy drinks. More and more people that are doing physical labor and trying activities are turning to energy drinks for the needed supply of energy that cannot be found in other drinks.

Taking energy drinks.

The common misconception when taking energy drink is to drink them whenever they are thirsty already. According to manufacturers and experts on these drinks, that is not the perfect time. You may have already be dehydrated or tired that the energy drink will not be able to sustain for all these things immediately.

The best time to take energy drinks is when you are just starting or in the mid part of your activity. By the time you lose some of your energy, the supplied energy from the beverage will already be in the process of taking place.

As long as there are consumers in need of additional energy drive, you can expect new and more energy drinks to be manufactured and become a hit among those who need them the most.
