    Using smart power strips can help save electricity by turning off devices that don't need to be on. Good example: when your computer is turned off, so should your printer and speakers plugged into it!

    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.

    An Australian company has proposed a massive non-polluting power plant in Arizona. Utilizing a technology first implemented in 1903, this project would include building the world's second tallest structure. In essence, it's a massive conical greenhouse, funneling its rising heated air through power producing turbines.

    A really cool video of how Denmark, one of Scandinavia, and Europe's smallest countries is making the best of a trashy situation. On site visits give excellent insight into Denmark's power producing, rubbish incineration program.

    Solar Energy isn't just about soaking up the sun's rays to put power into a space or the grid. This article, albeit brief, gives a few examples of some interesting applications of our Sun's radiation.

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

  • 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.

    This is googles somewhat marketing driven document on the efficiencies of using cloud computing. I would emphasize that the most valid aspect of this analysis is for small businesses. Small business will rarely use the "full" potential computing power of local servers, but even during idle time that server requires power and cooling capacity.

    This paper addresses anaerobic digesters (ADs) installations on livestock farms to use animal manure as a biomass resource for both economic value and environmental benefit. Capturing biogas created naturally from animal waste before it escapes to do harm to the environment and using the gas as a fuel to produce electric power. Either to be used to power the farm itself or integrated into the local electric grid.

    This car is very interesting! Here is a youtube video if you are more interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RBl1LFUQ4c I like that it is very affordable. I wonder if it will catch on in North America. I can definitely see it catching on in Europe. I had to edit this because I found more up-to-date information about a different company called Peugeot who is planning to release an air powered car in 2016 from the UK's Daily Mail website: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2568732/Car-runs-air-set-hit-streets-year-Peugeot-claims-new-hybrid-117mpg.html I am not sure how good of a product this car will be but I am happy to see the development of technology like this.

    I think this non-profit is pretty cool. They have drastically improved the lives of African women who used to risk their lives and waste many days looking for firewood or burning feces to cook, and so has the Aid For Africa, http://www.aidforafrica.org/member-charities/solar-cookers-international/ Solar cookers could also be built into the side of a home and used indoors! I am thinking of maybe getting or building one for my home to reduce our use of propane. We are mainly solar-powered but we have a gas range and a back up generator that run on propane and I really dislike that. This solar cooker could really help us out though there is a lot that it can't do. I still think it is interesting and worth looking into. Perhaps it is something that more of us could use.
