The Crooked Mile: Through peak oil, biofuels, hybrid cars, and global climate change to reach a brighter future

61noWVAeqiL. SL160  The Crooked Mile: Through peak oil, biofuels, hybrid cars, and global climate change to reach a brighter future Review

Americans love their automobiles. More than a mode of transportation, cars provide us with freedom, social equality, and entertainment. The price we pay for our infatuation with four wheels is high. Air pollution, global climate change, energy insecurity, injury and death, and urban sprawl are fair charges against the automobile. Some critics suggest we abandon the automobile. This is not likely. In The Crooked Mile, award-winning journalist and author, Kevin Clemens, examines the past, present, and future of energy and infrastructure to take us through the challenges of depleting oil, global climate change, innovative automotive technologies, and new concepts in personal mobility to reach a better transportation future.

Jatropha, a Bio-fuel For Halmahera

By: Juan Trevino

About the Author

(ArticlesBase SC #1059013)

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/Jatropha, a Bio-fuel For Halmahera





Halmahera’s sustainable development project as reported in the article “Sustainable Development for Halmahera” is reviewing its options to generate electricity from clean and renewable energy sources.

So far, the project has identified the creation of the Home Power Generator (HPG) based on solar energy. This Home Power Generator is better described in the article  Compact Power Generator for the Home For this Home Power Generator a Stirling Engine has been designed and is in the prototype stage of development.  A 3 KWh HPG equipment should cost less than 5,000 USD and should be a cheaper option than photovoltaic panels of similar capacities, and turned out to be the most likely technology for solar power in a distributed model setting. Infinia Corporation and Stirling Energy Systems Inc, are two US companies that have already begun to use the Stirling Engine to generate electricity with success.

Another option to explore in Halmahera is a bio-fuel option, especially when Halmahera has plenty of land for cultivation. For this 1,500 Hectares (3,750 Acres) have been allotted for cultivating the Jatropha tree.

Jatropha Curcas Tree produces a fruit that can extract a non-edible oil with very high calorific content. In accordance to CarbonCreditFarming.com the jatropha oil has 39,650 kcal, very similar to diesel fuel. The jatropha oil has already been tested by New Zealand Air as a fuel for airplanes in December 2008 and the English are using it to run diesel engines. Its foot print is small when burnt, and can be planted as much as you require without competing with food production.

Jatropha is currently being cultivated in India, where much research has been compiled. In Indonesia, people are beginning to dimension the need to plant Jatropha as a way of curving the fossil fuel depletion and contributing to reduce the carbon emission. Naturally, the big energy companies do not like nor will do anything to develop or promote jatropha. These big companies wish to continue with their business models as they are until either they fully deplete the fossil fuels or there is a world climate catastrophe.

Please help to reduce the planets carbon footprint. If you are interested in obtaining more information on planting jatropha, please contact bharianto_widjaja@worldteakplantation.com

FPL and Jatropha. Times are Changing

Florida Power and Light (FPL) refuses to improve and continues to seek the easy way to profits. Its focus is maintaining the current business model, which falls short to the needs of the people, country and the Planet. A call for improvement could be the wisest course of action in dealing with FPL. The Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) should prompt FPL to switch to bio-fuels, use local resources for fuel supplies, develop solar technology, and promote home power generation technology

Can I Really Power My Home With Wind Energy?

(ArticlesBase SC #936233)

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/Can I Really Power My Home With Wind Energy?





The Federal Tax Credits currently available in the US for upgrades for residential energy efficiency are significant enough to have many people thinking about energy efficiency remodeling.  There is much discussion around the cost benefits of installing solar energy systems and even geothermal heat pump systems.  But many homeowners are still asking, “Can I really power my home with wind energy?” The answer is “Yes!”

 

When most of us think about wind energy, we flash on images of huge turbines lined up in mid-western or off-shore wind farms. We see pictures of turbines 150 yards in diameter that sit 3000 feet above sea level.  But wind technology is advancing daily. In fact, turbine design is advancing so fast that some of the wind-energy web sites are having difficulty keeping up! 

 

Many farms and other residential and industrial facilities in rural areas have been using wind turbines for years to provide all power for their needs.  But as interest in powering homes with wind energy grows, new technologies are producing quieter, more attractive, turbines that can be effective at lower elevations.  In fact, there are new turbine designs that can be incorporated into landscaping design around homes. 

 

The economics of wind power depend on where you live, how much wind is available on a continuous basis at what elevation, and whether you plan to invest in batteries to store excess energy.  The economics of wind power also depend on whether you plan to install a stand-alone system to provide all of your energy needs or you plan to connect to the electric grid serving your area and use a wind energy system to generate power that you supply to the electric company in exchange for free energy.  Either way, a small wind system could provide all of the power your home needs with wind energy. 

 

You can now purchase a wind generator from Amazon.com and from several other online retailers.  You can also purchase complete wind systems from the manufacturer.  At the very least, you can do your homework online before you start talking with a local contractor.  Most states currently require that wind power systems be professionally installed by certified contractors.  Before you purchase any equipment from any source, you should discuss your options and what kind of systems are working for other homeowners in your area with your contractor.

 

Choices of turbines are generally based on the amount of wind power generated by the system. This is measured in kilowatts.  For example, a 1.2kW turbine produces 1200 watts. A turbine of this size installed where there is an average wind speed of 12 mph will produce about 2000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year.  The cost of a wind system usually ranges from ,000 to ,000 per kilowatt connected to the grid. The cost could be lower for an independent system not connected to the grid.  Turbines are expected to last about 20 years. 

 

In most cases, the installation cost for a 10 kilowatt residential system will be about ,000 to ,000.  In an energy efficient home, this system could meet all energy needs, eliminating the electric bill.  The amount of time needed to recover the cost would depend on current average monthly electric bill (e.g., a home using 0 of electricity per month, would recover ,400 of the cost each year) and the available purchase incentives.  The incentives would begin with the current Federal Income Tax Credit of 30% of the cost of equipment and installation or ,500 – ,000. Many states also offer such incentives as investment tax credits, sales tax reductions, property tax reductions, and financing assistance.  Many utility companies also offer a variety of incentives, including net metering, to wind system installation.

 

In short, it is entirely possible to completely meet the energy needs of an energy efficient home with a wind power system that could be expected to pay for itself in as little as 10 to 15 years.

I will explain how you can eliminate your dependency from the power company and generate your own electricity from the sun and wind. If you are interested in learning exactly how to create solar electricity and reduce your power bill then my package is the perfect solution for you!

An alternative is to generate your own power and eliminate the electrical company from your life forever! I will explain how to use this Renewable Energy to eliminate your account with the power company.

What your power company doesn’t want you to know is that you can spin their meter backwards by knowing how to create your own solar electricity from the sun. The price of electricity is becoming ridiculous and each year power company increases the price. One thing for sure is electricity is never going down.

No matter how hard we try and reduce our home electricity use the next bill is always going to be higher because of the power company’s increasing production costs and the cost associated with removing the fossil fuel resources.

Solar generator, solar panel, solar array are all common names used in the solar industry to describe solar energy units that convert the sunlight into free home solar electricity. After the initial installation you can use your generated home solar electricity for free, as much as you like, all day without worrying about what it is going to cost.

We read every day about the increasing global demand for power and daily warnings about our environment and the ever increasing carbon gases emitted from fossil fuel, the world is gradually heading towards a severe energy crisis that we cannot ignore any longer.

The sun’s energy is the most abundant energy available on earth and making use of this free energy will go towards solving our power solutions and this renewable energy is perceived as green and clean alternative to the fossil fuel generated on-grid electricity of today leading to a Pollution-free a greener environment.

Going green is the growing trend as people become more aware of the impact they have on our environment.

Solar energy is one of the best renewable energy sources due to its abundance and there will always be a sun and sunlight, if that ever disappears we will have no need for anything!

Home solar power panel system is a cost effective way to power your home than the expensive install models available from the commercial sector. The aim of home owners is to construct a solar power system that will handle the total peak load demand of all the home appliances. Please visit  Make-a-Solar-Panel.com
What can we do

You can have a do-it-yourself small solar power panel system installed and setup for about 0! And the solar electricity produced by these panels is directed to a battery bank, which serves as the electricity storage unit. The battery bank can then supply all the electricity for the home during the night.

Living off the grid not only helps the environment, saves power and substantially reduces your electricity bill.

How does solar power and wind power function is some of the questions that will solved when you download and read internet package manuals or guides.

Complete step-by-step instructions to make your own professionally looking solar power panel generator, including the 100 watt solar panels blueprints and all the different configurations possible, each of them with their own diagrams and instructions. Using easy to find material.

Today’s Solar Electric Cells Are a Practical and Environmentally Friendly Way of Producing Solar Electricity.

The scientific term for solar electricity is photovoltaic energy which means electricity from light.

A solar panel is a collection of solar cells that are known as photovoltaic cells. It is these cells that create the solar electricity by interacting with the sunlight, and when the cells are wired together you have created a solar power panel generator.

In one day you could make a small solar power panel generator that would be enough to power some of the smaller appliances in the house. Once you have the knowledge you could increase the number of solar panels generator until all your home electrical power requirements are met from solar power.

You will be amazed at how simple and easy the whole solar power system is to set up and I have gone to great detail to explain where and how to source the materials and most important where you can pick up deep cycle batteries to use in your home solar power system sometimes for free or very cheap and I have been using this method for years with great success.

A home made solar power panel system is a big money saver and the solar panels are usually made from  3×6 solar cell modules specially manufactured and when exposing the solar cells to bright sunlight produced solar electricity.

That is why the position is so critical to where the solar power generator or solar electric array is place in relation to the suns movement across the house roof

The initial installation cost is quickly recovered after 3 or 4 power bills especially when you make your own small solar panel from information purchased from the internet.

As time and money allows, you may add more solar panels to increase your generate solar electricity so your home is running completely off the power grid. Home solar power systems can use a back-up battery bank to provide electricity at night.

Solar panel generator systems are designed to produce D.C. direct current and D.C. voltages for charging and storing in batteries or being directly converted into typical 120-230 volt alternating current 120 VAC.

Solar energy packages include detailed instructions on how to make a small solar panel by following the step-by-step instructions available with the solar energy package.  Constructing a small solar panel at home does not require a lot of know how or expertise as the instructions are fully illustrated and written in simple easy to understand English.

Imagine running your electrical appliances without worrying about paying any bills!

Creating solar electricity from the sun has plenty of good points, saving the environment and reducing the global green house gases. Cost savings for years following the initial set up costs. Free solar electricity and adding value to your home.

1    Offer Low Maintenance simply keeps the surface of the panels clean.
2    Clean, quiet, and easy to use.
3    Consume no fuel and give off no waste
4    There are no moving parts so there is no mechanical noise.
5    Generate pure D.C. electricity when exposed to sunlight which is safe and reliable.
6    Save Money! How much you save is up to you.

 

REMENBER to source out the correct package that gives you all this information as some do every little in the way of explaining the details, so be aware, Read  the SITE  carefully.

Solar Energy

What is Homemade Solar Energy?

 

Every day, the sun radiates (sends out) an enormous amount of energy—called solar energy. It radiates more energy in one second than the world has used since time began. This energy comes from within the sun itself.

 

Like most stars, the sun is a big gas ball made up mostly of hydrogen and helium gas. The sun makes energy in its inner core in a process called nuclear fusion.

Only a small part of the solar energy that the sun radiates into space ever reaches the earth, but that is more than enough to supply all our energy needs. Every day enough solar energy reaches the earth to supply our nation’s energy needs for a year!

It takes the sun’s energy just a little over eight minutes to travel the 93 million miles to earth. Solar energy travels at a speed of 186,000 miles per second, the speed of light.

Today, people use solar energy to heat buildings and water and to generate electricity.

 

Solar Collectors

 

Heating with solar energy is not as easy as you might think. Capturing sunlight and putting it to work is difficult because the solar energy that reaches the earth is spread out over a large area. The sun does not deliver that much energy to any one place at any one time.

The amount of solar energy an area receives depends on the time of day, the season of the year, the cloudiness of the sky, and how close you are to the earth’s equator.

 

A solar collector is one way to capture sunlight and change it into usable heat energy. A closed car on a sunny day is like a solar collector. As sunlight passes through the car’s windows, it is absorbed by the seat covers, walls, and floor of the car. The absorbed light changes into heat. The car’s windows let light in, but they don’t let all the heat out. A closed car can get very hot!

 

Solar Space Heating

 

Space heating means heating the space inside a building. Today, many homes use solar energy for space heating. A passive solar home is designed to let in as much sunlight as possible. It is like a big solar collector.

Sunlight passes through the windows and heats the walls and floor inside the house. The light can get in, but the heat is trapped inside. A passive solar home does not depend on mechanical equipment, such as pumps and blowers, to heat the house.

 

An active solar home, on the other hand, uses special equipment to collect sunlight. An active solar house may use special collectors that look like boxes covered with glass.

These collectors are mounted on the rooftop facing south to take advantage of the winter sun. Dark-colored metal plates inside the boxes absorb sunlight and change it into heat. (Black absorbs sunlight better than any other color.) Air or water flows through the collectors and is warmed by the heat. The warm air or water is distributed to the house, just as it would be with an ordinary furnace system.

Solar Hot Water Heating

 

Solar energy can be used to heat water. Heating water for bathing, dishwashing, and clothes washing is the second biggest home energy cost.

A solar water heater works a lot like solar space heating. In our hemisphere, a solar collector is mounted on the south side of a roof where it can capture sunlight. The sunlight heats water in a tank. The hot water is piped to faucets throughout a house, just as it would be with an ordinary water heater. Today, more than one million homes and 200,000 businesses in the U.S. use solar water heaters.

 

Solar Electricity

 

Solar energy can also be used to produce electricity. Two ways to make electricity from solar energy are photovoltaics and solar thermal systems.

 

Photovoltaic Electricity

 

Photovoltaic comes from the words photo meaning light and volt, a measurement of electricity. Sometimes photovoltaic cells are called PV cells or solar cells for short. You are probably familiar with photovoltaic cells. Solar-powered toys, calculators, and roadside telephone call boxes all use solar cells to convert sunlight into electricity.

Solar cells are made up of silicon, the same substance that makes up sand. Silicon is the second most common substance on earth. Solar cells can supply energy to anything that is powered by batteries or electrical power.

 

Electricity is produced when sunlight strikes the solar cell, causing the electrons to move around. The action of the electrons starts an electric current. The conversion of sunlight into electricity takes place silently and instantly. There are no mechanical parts to wear out.

You won’t see many photovoltaic power plants today. Compared to other ways of making electricity, photovoltaic systems are expensive.

 

It costs 10-20 cents a kilowatt-hour to produce electricity from solar cells. Most people pay their electric companies about 11 cents a kilowatt-hour for the electricity they use, large industrial consumers pay less. Today, solar systems are mainly used to generate electricity in remote areas that are a long way from electric power lines.

.

Solar Thermal Electricity

 

Like solar cells, solar thermal systems, also called concentrated solar power (CSP), use solar energy to produce electricity, but in a different way. Most solar thermal systems use a solar collector with a mirrored surface to focus sunlight onto a receiver that heats a liquid. The super-heated liquid is used to make steam to produce electricity in the same way that coal plants do.

There are nine solar thermal power plants in the Mojave Desert that together produce 360 MW of electricity.

Solar energy has great potential for the future. Solar energy is free, and its supplies are unlimited. It does not pollute or otherwise damage the environment. It cannot be controlled by any one nation or industry. If we can improve the technology to harness the sun’s enormous power, we may never face energy shortages again.
