Cheap Energy with New Solar Device

Alternative Energy eNewsletter, November 11th, 2009 Solar Energy Device Researchers and scientists are putting on endless effort to make the sources of energy clean and green. There are many devices in the market that run on solar energy. The alternative energy atmosphere is charged with anticipation and excitement. But till now one of the biggest dampeners in green energy scenario is the prices. Fossil fuels are available cheaply all over the world. But solar, wind, geothermal or biofuels are… Continue

Survey: Alternative Energy Sources are Vital for Survival

October 14th, Alternative Energy eNewsletter Alternative Energy Sources The international image of America is a country that is constantly creating roadblocks in the way of reaching a global agreement on climate change and environmental protection. Americans are seen as totally oblivious to the issues of global warming, and energy and food crisis. Recent research shows a totally different outlook. When asked if it’s important for the U.S. to develop and use solar energy, 92% of Americans respon… Continue

Natural Gas Fuel; A Bridge To....What?

Last year T. Boone Pickens brought the concept of natural gas as a vehicle fuel into the national stream of consciousness when he launched his “Pickens Plan”. Since then the concept has evolved to the point where there are several pieces of legislation making their way through Congress (Natural Gas Act of 2009)and the Senate which will encourage the more widespread implementation of this “green” fossil fuel. Recent estimates of the natural gas reserves in the United States indicate that we have… Continue

Will Toyota Corner The Hydrogen Vehicle Market In 2015?

Recently Toyota announced that they would be introducing a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in 2015 which would "shock" the US auto market. Assuming that to be true one has to wonder more about how they are going to do it than if they are going to do it. Toyota isn't stupid and to evolve transportation in a new direction would be a marketing coup even bigger than what they achieved with the extremely popular Prius hybrid. The development of a cheap fuel cell vehicle that is priced competitively with… Continue

Good Science / Difficult Marketing...Hydrogen from Urine?

Producing hydrogen from urine You do two things at highway filling stations: fill up one tank and empty another. Ohio University chemists have combined refuelling your car and relieving yourself by creating a new catalyst that can extract hydrogen from urine. Chemistry World reports that the catalyst could not only fuel the hydrogen-powered cars of the future, but could also help clean up municipal wastewater. Gerardine Botte of Ohio University uses an electrolytic approach t… Continue

Is Hydrogen the Best of the Green Fuels?

Special thanks to Mr. Mike Johnston for contributing to this article Currently, the U.S. and most of the world is in what would be called the fossil fuel economy. The majority of our power source is from oil, natural gas, coal, and petroleum products. We need energy to keep our world and society running; however, fossil fuel energy also creates problems such as… Continue

Why The Future of Transportation Fuel Is Hydrogen

A recent television ad from Exxon/Mobil introduces the concept of an on-board fuel reformer for vehicles (view the ad here). These devices combine water and oil (or another feedstock) at elevated temperature in the presence of a catalyst to produce Hydrogen fuel for the vehicle. This sounds very complicated but it really isn’t that hard to understand. I have

Areva's "Wikipedia" on Hydrogen

From Areva's Website: http://www.areva.com. . . . . . . . Hydrogen is the most widespread element on the Earth. It is present in the water that covers 70% of the globe, in the hydrocarbons which, as their name suggests, result from the combination of carbon and hydrogen atoms, as well as in all living organisms of animal or vegetable origin. The small dihydrogen molecule (H2) is very highly energetic: 1 kg of H2 releases three times as much energy as 1 kg of gasoline. Although i… Continue

Meeting on Marcellus Shale sponsored by Community Board 8 in NYC

II attended a sparsely attended meeting regarding the possibility of drilling for NG in the Marcellus Shale region last night, sponsored by local Community Board 8 in Manhattan. The Marcellus Shale is home to 90% of New York City's drinking water. Although there were only about a dozen audience members, some of whom served on the community board, those who were there knew what they were talking about, and about the dangers of commercial fracturing to obtain Natural Gas (NG). There comments are p… Continue

Understand Fuel Reformers And How They Could Change The World

I was pleasantly surprised last week to see Exxon running a TV commercial on the fuel reformer that they have been working on since at least 2007. If you haven't seen the commercial yet you can take a moment and go to the Exxon site and view it at this link. I am writing this story because I really think that everyone… Continue

Link to Free Energy article

I don't usually post links to other articles - Pickens' people are already so well informed! But in this case, I am making an exception. The referred article shows how some pretty terrific alternative energy technologies are being suppressed and gobbled up by big oil in order to suppress them. Now that we are entering a depression, it will be even harder for small, startup companies to resist the takeover efforts of Big Oil and Big Coal (these companies lose money too in a downturn, but not near… Continue

SAVE WATER, WHAT?

So you are fishing in a boat, in a river, and you are in front of a man's house along the shore. He sees you and yells out "Hey you, get off my property!". Are you really on his property? The bottom of the river may be part of his property, but the moving water in a river cannot be owned any more than the air above it. A plane flies over his house, or a helicopter hovers 100 feet above it, can he claim they are trespassing? The moralistic question here is actually 'can we claim ownership of wat… Continue
