Renewable Energy


Description
Renewable energy is energy that is converted from renewable power sources predominantly for electricity generation. Renewable power sources are naturally replenished and are not depleted by use, unlike fossil fuel resources. Geothermal, wave, tidal, ocean current, hydro, wind, solar, and biomass are the most common renewable resources used to generate renewable energy.
Keywords: power generation, geothermal, heating, solar thermal, photovoltaic, PV, hydrogen, tidal, distributed generation, fuel cell, renewable, replenishable, undepleted, biomass, hydroelectric, waste-to-energy, regenerative, emissions, climate change, appropriate technology, clean energy, wind energy, solar energy, hydropower, marine energy, environmental impacts of energy, electricity, heat energy, clean tech

I would like to share with all of you the following article, which strengthens the strategy of Renewable energy and proposes a new distributed Energy Model. Even using Bio-fuels, although they are renewable, they still generate Green House Gases. The strategy in this article, is fair and equitable, much more than our current Energy Model, for people and nations. It should improve living conditions throughout the world, but it will take time to implement . Please support it and share it along

The fossil fuels used in automobiles must stop. Please see the article on The Perfect Automobile

http://www.articlesbase.com/cars-articles/the-perfect-car-740680.html

There is a new article for Production and Deployment of  the Perfect Automobile which is about to come out in the next few days. This new article shows our inability to switch all our current automobiles in circulation from Fossil fuels to electricity in less than 10 years, unless there is a collapse in the planet.


Please insert your comments on the articles or send them to me to trevinoj@bellsouth.net">trevinoj@bellsouth.net

The most informative book on this varied topic is Fred Krupp's: Earth, The Sequel.  I'm 3/4 through it, and am finding it entertainingly educational.  Many, many fantastic opportunities in work out there right now remaking our energy future.  A must read for any visitor to this site.
