Renewable energies are not just America's dream…

One thing I am certain of is that America, the west and other "civil" people have wonderful ideas that know no border. For this reason I believe with a high degree of certainty that America is behind in innovative thought implementation. Perhaps we will lose the greatest race of the 21st century to be free of the trappings of globally destructive practices. However, there is a glimmer of hope that a moon shot toward sustainable living via wind, solar, tide and yes, coal could save our sovereignt… Continue

"Global Oil Depletion" a report on Peak Oil by the UK Energy Research Centre

The UK Energy Research Centre handles research into energy issues for all of Britain.

What you should know about oil dependency but haven't been told!

While we all can appreciate interest in alternative energy and our own pet rock, it seems that there are a few questions that may have been failed to be asked during this process that seem important. Why are we constantly being told that we are so dependent upon foreign oil? Is it because we are so niave to believe that the people who claim to own the oil are telling us the truth? Is it that we think that just because we have seen the price of oil seasonally jump every year what seems like forev… Continue

The Future of Alternative and Renewable Energy after 2010

I see renewable energy as a long term investment for our economic and national security. Anybody who installed solar panels on their houses 15 years ago are now enjoying free electricity. I am personally concerned about nationalizing healthcare and exploding deficits and believe these will be the achilles heel of the new administration in the elections of 2010. Unfortunately, the country would have benefited from their desire to promote natural gas and renewable energy ---- away from oil, coal… Continue

Think for a moment what an incredible impact that same $400 billion a year could have on our country if that money were invested here and not abroad, in such areas as weatherization, energy efficiency, sustainable energies like wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, public transportation and automobiles that are energy efficient… Continue

Forbes: Twenty Dollar Per Gallon Gasoline

Christopher Steiner, 07.16.09, 06:00 PM EDT How the rising price of oil will change our lives. What does it mean to be middle-class? It means to have a home, to have a regular income, to have consumer freedom, to drive a gas-burning vehicle, and in general, to consume. And when people consume, they consume oil. It takes oil to power your car, to produce your plastic yogurt cup, to harvest the grain that makes your bread, to transport the livestock that will be your meat. It takes fuel to shi… Continue
