Electricity is a fundamental pillar to any modern society. Unfortunately, we need fuel to create electricity. This brings us to the subject of biomass as a new source of power.
Using the Sun for Power – How It Works
With massive rebate programs and tax credits being issued by state and federal governments, using the sun to generate electricity is very popular. So, how does it work?
Wind Farms Limitations as Energy Platforms
As modern society searches around for alternative energy sources, wind farms are getting mention. There are, however, limitations regarding wind farms as major energy alternatives.
An Overview of Nuclear Energy
In the effort to get away from our oil and coal dependency, nuclear energy is getting attention again. Here is an overview of nuclear energy.
Reversing Mother Nature, Part One
We talked to North Americas leading In Situ Leach (ISL) uranium mining engineers, and had them explain exactly how ISL worked. Most of the significant ISL operations in the United States were designed and/or constructed by these engineers. They explained how ISL mining is really just reversing the process of Mother Nature.
Blossom is what underground uranium miners called the crystals forming on the tunnel walls. Because the ore was in contact with air inside an undergr…
Reversing Mother Nature, Part Three
We talked to North Americas leading In Situ Leach (ISL) uranium mining engineers, and had them explain exactly how ISL worked. Most of the significant ISL operations in the United States were designed and/or constructed by these engineers. They explained how ISL mining is really just reversing the process of Mother Nature.
CLEANING UP THE PROJECT
Not so fast. Shipping the uranium out of the ISL plant isnt the final step. The water has to be cleaned up, the property re…
Reversing Mother Nature, Part Two
We talked to North Americas leading In Situ Leach (ISL) uranium mining engineers, and had them explain exactly how ISL worked. Most of the significant ISL operations in the United States were designed and/or constructed by these engineers. They explained how ISL mining is really just reversing the process of Mother Nature.
ISL EXTRACTION AND PROCESSING
During ISL mining, water is pumped to the surface from production wells that contain uranium in very low concentration…
The History Of Wind Generated Power
With the increased costs of energy derived from fossil fuels, many consumers are interested in alternative sources of energy. Unfortunately the market trend tells us that little to no relief in oil prices is in sight. A great source of power can be harnessed from the wind using electricity generating windmills. Below is a brief history of wind power, and how it came to be.
Wind power has been harnessed for many, many years. Nobody knows for sure when man started using the …
Historical Advances in Producing Electricity From the Sun
When politicians start talking about renewable energy, you know we have problems. Solar energy is a significant renewable energy and here is an overview of how the technology has developed.
Use Geothermal Heat To Save Money On Your Household Heating Bills
The Queen of England is planning to use geothermal heat to save on the cost of heating Buckingham Palace. You too can do this to save on the cost of heating your home.
Selling Solar to Your Utility Interconnection Agreements
In many states, homeowners and businesses can now sell solar panel energy to utilities. Doing so requires an interconnection agreement with your local utility.
Solar Home Improvements without Panels
Youve grown tired of paying monstrous electric bills and have decided to go solar. Solar panels, however, arent exactly your taste. Dont worry, you can go solar without them.
