Solar Power for Home - Produce your Own Energy - 0 views
-
In recent times, people are increasingly looking for energy solutions, whether is because of rising energy costs or environmental issues. Solar power for home has been a much promoted alternative, however still very few people have a solar power system in their houses. Why is it like that? The problem is that usually it is very expensive to purchase and have installed a solar power system.That is until now. Michael Harvey, who has been involved with renewable energy for over 15 years, wrote a simple and detailed guide that teaches you how to build a solar power system at your home for about $200.

Solar Electricity - The Solution to Energy Crisis - 0 views

Imagine that you come home from a long working day and you want to turn on the lights, you want to heat the rooms, you want to cook a meal, you want to take a warm shower, you want to watch some TV, and you want to turn your computer to send your friends some emails. However nothing works because there`s no electricity! If we consider that some of the energy resources that we heavily rely on today - such as gas and coal - may run out, this situation canbecome true.Why not change this situation? Why not start using other resources, such as solar electricity? Thanks to technological developments, the sunlight can be converted to solar electricity. And the bes ist: You can make solar electricity in your home.By making and using solar electricity you'll not only be independent of the energy companies, but you will also save a lot of money and still contribute with our planet Earth.A guide that reveals how to generate solar electricity is available on the website Earth4Energy. With a detailed manual and videos, they teach you how to build the system to geberate your own solar electricity. To know more
Wind now leads EU power sector :: PNN Planet2025 News Network - 0 views
-
43% of all new electricity generating capacity built in the European Union last year was wind energy, exceeding all other technologies including gas, coal and nuclear power.
-
20 wind turbines were installed for every working day of 2008. By the end of the year, a total of 160,000 workers were employed directly and indirectly in the sector, which saw investments of about €11 billion in the EU
-
Wind energy is an example of an intelligent investment that puts EU citizens’ money to work in their own economies rather than transferring it to a handful of fuel-exporting nations

Concentrating Photovoltaics - 0 views
-
Along with wind power, concentrating photovoltaics (CPV) offers one of the most promising utility-scale, renewable energy technology options. CPV has a current system efficiency of 25% and the potential of reaching much higher efficiency. In the right locations, it could provide electricity at cost low enough to be competitive with fossil and nuclear power. Compared to other solar technologies, CPV has the advantage of modularity and very low water needs.
This documentary goes across technology features of CPV. A visit to ISFOC (CPV Institute in Puertollano, South of Spain) serves as connecting thread. A second series will follow, focusing on interviews to industry representatives.
Commissioner Piebalgs adresses the Parliament on high oil prices - 0 views

As a result of these policies, we can expect a gradual decrease in
oil consumption in the EU over the coming years, and the beginning of the switch
to cleaner more efficient, and often renewable transport. -
the era of cheap energy is over, and at a time when, in any
event, we have an absolute obligation to future generations to move to clean,
carbon free energy sources for heat, power and transport due to climate change.
This is the challenge facing us. -

Homeowners Associations and Solar Panels Don't Always Mix - 0 views
-
Having built a swimming pool for his children in his backyard, Matt Burdick of Chandler, Arizona planned to heat it in winter with solar hot water panels. It would be an environmentally responsible and economical way to heat a non-essential part of his home, he thought. But the $5,000 panels had not been in place on his roof for long before he received an official letter ordering their removal. Not from the State of Arizona, the local police department or the Chandler Planning Department, but from the Homeowners' Association of which he was a dues-paying member.

Solar power edges towards boom time | UK | Reuters - 0 views

Subsidies are needed because solar is still more expensive than conventional power sources like coal, but costs are dropping by around 5 percent a year and "grid parity", without subsidies, is already a reality in parts of California.
Very sunny countries could reach that breakeven in five years or so, and even cloudy Britain by 2020.
"At that point you can expect pretty much unbounded growth," General Electric Co's Chief Engineer Jim Lyons told the Jefferies conference in London on Thursday, referring to price parity in sunny parts of the United States by around 2015.
The Future of Free Energy | Solar Islands Will Bring Electricity From the Desert & Sea - 0 views
-
CSEM, the Swiss Center for Electronics and
Microtechnology, has signed a contract with the government of the Emirate of Ras Al-Khaimah (RAK) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to develop a prototype of a “Solar Island”. The aim of the project is to validate a concept for the large-scale transformation of solar energy into hydrogen and electricity at very low cost. It is funded by 5 mio US$ by the Gouvernment of Ras al Khaimah. The plan is to build large “Solar Islands” floating in the sea. These giant floating islands will be fitted with solar panels which will convert solar energy into electricity and/or hydrogen. A prototype of such a solar island, equipped with thermal solar panels, is to be built and tested in the desert of the United
Arab Emirates.
