Lemon juice: Aids Digestion Lemon juice flushes out unwanted materials and toxins from the body. It's atomic composition is similar to saliva and the hydrochloric acid of digestive juices. It encourages the liver to produce bile which is an acid that is required for digestion. Lemons are also high in minerals and vitamins and help loosen ama, or toxins, in the digestive tract. The digestive qualities of lemon juice help to relieve symptoms of indigestion, such as heartburn, belching and bloating. The American Cancer Society actually recommends offering warm lemon water to cancer sufferers to help stimulate bowel movements. Lemon juice: Cleanses Your body System Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials in part because lemons increase the rate of urination in the body. Therefore toxins are released at a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy. The citric acid in lemons helps maximize enzyme function, which stimulates the liver and aids in detoxification. Lemon juice: Boosts Your Immune System Lemons are high in vitamin C, which is great for fighting colds. They're high in potassium, which stimulates brain and nerve function. Potassium also helps control blood pressure. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) found in lemons demonstrates anti-inflammatory effects, and is used as complementary support for asthma and other respiratory symptoms plus it enhances iron absorption in the body; iron plays an important role in immune function. Lemons also contain saponins, which show antimicrobial properties that may help keep cold and flu at bay. Lemons also reduce the amount of phlegm produced by the body. Lemon juice: Balances pH Levels Lemons are one of the most alkalizing foods for the body. Sure, they are acidic on their own, but inside our bodies they're alkaline (the citric acid does not create acidity in the body once metabolized). Lemons contain both citric and ascorbic acid, weak acids easily metabolized from the body allowing the minera

The global solar PV glass market is expected to be valued at USD 33.7 billion by 2025, according to a report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing social and political consensus aimed at adopting clean energy sources is expected to drive the market in the coming years.Solar PV glass is being increasingly used in various applications such as residential, non-residential and utility sectors. Tempered glass, in particular, is being employed in roofing applications as well as in the manufacturing of glass windows. In developing countries, regional governments are taking various initiatives to install solar panels not only on newly constructed buildings but also on old building structures. Government initiatives to achieve a sustainable future with clean energy are anticipated to positively drive the market over the forecast period.Residential application segment is witnessing growth due to the rising penetration from untapped markets such as Asia Pacific as well as Central & South America. First-mover advantage and relatively low acquisition cost in untapped regions remain key driving factors in this application segment. However, the cost and length of customer acquisition is a primary concern and is projected to restrain the growth of the application segment over the next eight years.North America is expected to witness the highest growth rate over the forecast period. The U.S. government is actively investing in solar energy plants to achieve a future with sustainable energy. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the U.S. government has passed multi-year extension of tax credits for renewable energy plants such as concentrating solar power (CSP) and solar PV glass stations. The government has laid down supportive environment policies at the state level for the installation and operation of these renewable energy plants & power stations.

While solar, wind, and biofuels are the most well known, there are a number of different sources for renewable power that are often overlooked.

The White House has now proposed cuts of as much as 20 percent in fuel consumption and greenhouse gases for medium- and heavy-duty trucks by the 2018 model year. The administration believes these new cuts could possibly save 500 million barrels of oil over the lives of vehicles manufactured during the program's first five years.

Government proposes energy saving changes to Trucking industry.

Basically, an electric vehicle (EV) can be perceived as a vehicle that functions on an electric motor, quite the replacement of an internal-combustion engine that begets energy by ablazing a mix of gases and fuel. On that account, an electric vehicle is observed as the most probable substitute for present-generation automobiles, in the interest of addressing the concern of surging pollution, depleting natural resources, global warming, and many more. Despite the fact that the idea of electric vehicles has been around for a while, it has called for a great amount of attention in the recent decade amidst an escalating carbon footprint and other harmful environmental repercussions of fuel-based vehicle

China is planning a considerable expansion of its foreign aid programs with a particular focus on infrastructure projects in countries along the land and maritime Silk Road trading routes, government officials said on Monday. The country is planning to initiate a number of strategically important aid projects to help improve transportation, energy and telecommunications in those countries, according to the Ministry of Commerce, which is responsible for administrating the country's foreign aid programs. Projects involving construction and improvement of roads, railways, ports and airports are already being implemented in countries including Laos, Myanmar, Nepal and in Central Asia, Yu Zirong, deputy director-general of the foreign aid department at the ministry, told a news conference in Beijing. "China's growing future foreign aid program will be tilted toward neighboring countries and those in the Silk Road region," Yu said. The planned shift in direction for Chinese foreign aid is a direct result of President Xi Jinping's proposed national strategy to revive the centuries-old trading routes connecting Asia and Europe, experts said. The newly created 40 billion yuan ($6.5 billion) Silk Road fund and the Beijing-initiated Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank are expected to facilitate China's foreign aid programs in the future, they said. "Such a shift indicates that China will be more inclined to offer assistance to Asia and neighboring countries," said Wang Luo, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation. "It does not mean that the percentage of China's foreign aid to Africa will drop. It just means that Asia and countries along the Silk Road will get a greater share as China grows its aid spending," she said. Africa has been the largest recipient of China's foreign aid with more than half of spending directed at the continent between 2010 and 2012, according to a policy paper issued in June. China spent 89.34 bill

BY Adam Wasch, Energy Outreach Consultant for CCHRC and UAF CES Energy Focus: Fairbanks Daily News-Miner April 16th, 2009, Section A3 Boilers today offer a wide range of customized options to maximize efficiency. If your boiler has an old pilot light that stays lit all the time, you're probably a good candidate for a replacement boiler or, at least, a retrofit. Alaska's many heating days justify paying for the most efficient system possible upfront, since the extra money you spend for efficiency gains will be paid back several times during the system's operating lifetime. But take care - there is no single perfect system because of the number of variables involved in designing a boiler that is sized and outfitted correctly for your particular home. Looking for an "Energy Star" label is a good start, but there's a lot more to consider. Ensure that whomever you hire to provide, install, or retrofit a system is cognizant of the fine details and performs the necessary calculations. These calculations are especially important if you're installing the sophisticated components and sensors required by today's most efficient boilers. First, the basics. Boilers heat water, which is pumped throughout a system of pipes and radiators that conduct heat into your rooms. Boiler efficiency is measured by its annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE). There is some dispute how useful AFUE ratings are because they do not account well for heat loss from boilers that maintain operating temperatures throughout the day. Also, AFUE does not measure heat loss from boilers or pipes that are located outside of insulated living spaces such attics, basements, and garages. AFUE will not account for room heat that escapes out open flues. Nevertheless, AFUE remains a basic standard.
