This site uses a slideshow format to present 10 unconventional sources of alternative energy. It includes photos and concise explanations on each frame. Some of the possible forms of power include : saltwater power, various forms of kinetic energy, ocean thermal energy, human sewage, hot rock power, evaporative and vibration energy, and even moon resources & space-based solar power. Very interesting site.

This is a different page from the same website I posted about the Sunshot Initiative, the U.S. Department of Energy. It was cool to find that this website has so many how-to guides for individuals and communities who are interested in solar energy projects. I was surprised that there is so much governmental support available.

Ambitious solar energy system in Nevada reaches new milestone - 1 views

shared by pauline hannemann on 15 Apr 13 - No Cached

Molten salt is used as an energy transfer and distribution medium for the project. The concentrated sunlight is used to heat the molten salt from 500 degrees Fahrenheit to more than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The salt then moves through a series of alloy tubes and is used to set water supplies to boil. The steam created is used to power turbines that generate electrical power. SolarReserve notes that this is one of the most efficient ways to make use of solar energy.

Solar Supported By Molten Salt Comes To Spain - 0 views

Americans are familiar with with utilizing solar energy to heat water filled tubes for domestic hot water. Spain has laid claim to the world's first molten salt solar energy plant. Nearly 3,000 mirrors track the Sun, reflecting its rays at a centralized tower. Said tower raises salt, an already bountiful resource in Spain, to a temperature high enough to melt it. Amazingly, salt withholds its temperature rather well, emitting heat for nearly 15 hours past liquefaction. This heat is utilized for energy production.

This is a great website packed with tips and useful information about sustainable living, gardening, alternative energy sources, harvesting rainwater, helping people affected by natural disasters etc. It is a shop where you can buy things that will aid you in your sustainable endeavors but the blog section is FULL of useful information and tips. There is even a blog on weening children off of video games! The GUIDES section is also full of amazing tips, even eco boating and ways to get out and play in nature. I love this site, hope you enjoy it as well.
