Green Power Plants on the HorizonIf you heard the phrase “power plant” 10 years ago, you probably just pictured your local power plant which was more than likely a thermal power plant. This type of plant uses a heat engine that runs on combustible fuel and then transforms the thermal energy from that combustion into rotational energy.  These power plants are further classified by the type of prime mover that is installed and by...

Understanding Environmental Policies    A majority of world governments are well aware of the need for their national policies to shift to a more earth friendly direction. Unfortunately, the need for a global commitment to positive environmental changes has been around since long before the first “Earth Day” in the 1970s. It has taken massive climate change and even shifts in weather patterns to make more and more...

Renewable Natural ResourcesRenewable resources, by definition, are perpetual, and are therefore invaluable when converted, stored, and disposed of or used. These natural occurrences are offered in nature, and the harnessing and application of them by humans cannot hinder, change, or waste them. Natural renewable resources, therefore, are the most cost effective, clean, readily available, and environmentally kind resources that are available to...

Hydroelectric Power PlantThe act of using water to power the world is nothing new, and in fact has been invoked for some 10 decades or more. What's different is the fact that the water wheel on the river has given way to mass production of electricity and power by way of heightened dams and hydroelectric power plant sites. Over 24% of the world's electricity is generated through water power plants, and there is a push to increase this...

How Do Solar Panels Work?Do you know anything about the free flow of electrons through a circuit? How about silicon? Do you find yourself asking how do solar panels work? Though both of these are elementally simple subjects, taught to us during high school chemistry class, when we put them together and utilize them to redirect the sun's energy for our own purposes, it can get a little bit confusing. So, here's to wishing that we would have paid...

Home Hydro PowerThe big wheel in the river at that old mill or manufacturing plant is romantic and serene, but few of us really respect how indispensable and innovative this hydro power system was, and still is today. Of course, many variances and more modern ways of implementing this free, natural power source are available today, but the premise and overall results are the same as they were those one hundred fifty years ago. Let nature and its...

A Word on BiofuelsBiofuels are defined as any liquid, gaseous, or solid fuel that has been derived from biological materials that have died relatively recently. The difference between biofuels and fossil fuels is simply the length of time involved, fossil fuels come from biological material that died upwards of millions of years ago, and biofuels are more recently deceased biological materials. In theory, biofuels can be derived from any...
