While many people expect the world to move largely to solar power in the next 50 years, most experts are doubtful of this possibility. While solar power will be an important component of the energy sector in the future, the future will be much more complex than most imagine. Today, [...]

The concept of solar power has been around for some time, but it’s never been considered a practical means for satisfying the world’s energy needs. But as better methods for capturing and converting the sun’s rays into usable energy are developed, solar power is becoming widely adopted across many countries. [...]

There are pieces of legislation in the works in all 50 states which would sponsor the deregulation of energy production. What this means, at its core, is that people would have the right and ability to choose which power company provides their power.   The Environmental Upside The deregulation of [...]

While it is certainly true that many “green” technologies significantly reduce the burden on scarce resources, lessen the harm done to the environment, and save money into the bargain, there can be a major downside. Namely that they are not always suitable in all circumstances. The principle of the cost:benefit [...]

The sun has weather, and sun storms give off flares composed of tremendous amounts of hot gas and high-energy particles. Earth is in the path of solar flares. The storms on the sun impact the magnetic field on the earth and cause hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, wind storms and volcanic eruptions. [...]

American actor William Shatner once said that, “Energy is the key to creativity. Energy is the key to life.” And when it comes to the energy used by people in my household, as much as it as possible is as green as the grass that covers the lawn around our [...]
