Clean Energy – What Does THAT Look Like?

The EPA says on its website (epa.gov):
“Today, more than ever, consumers have the ability — and the interest — to invest in clean energy. Clean energy includes energy efficiency and clean energy supply options like highly efficient combined heat and power as well as renewable energy sources.
EPA’s Clean Energy Programs are working with state policy makers, electric and gas utilities, energy customers, and other key stakeholders. By identifying, designing and implementing clean energy policy and technology solutions, we are delivering important environmental and economic benefits”

OK, then. So when Al Gore talks about the next 10 years, this is what we’re talking about. While natural gas burns cleaner, than, say, those nasty diesel engines with their cloud of black gook, agricultural fuels (corn and the like) and biofuels will soon take a central role.

The Wind Farm - What About it?

If you're interested in alternative energy sources (and who isn’t these days of record-high oil prices!), it's important to know a few things. There is a lot of press over the last few days about wind farm sources of electricity, for example. So, what is the real deal here - is this a tree hugger conspiracy or something more?

Let’s quickly review what a wind farm is:

1. Wind turbines, or windmills, spin in the wind
2. Spinning turbines are connected to and “crank” generators
3. Generators produce electricity

What good is a wind farm and the alternative energy it represents?

1. Reduce use of fossil fuels
2. Reduce overall CO2 emissions
3. Reduce overall energy prices

The short answer? Wind farms are here to stay.

According to the American Wind Energy Association (awes.com), 2007 was a “record year for new wind installations” and 2008 looks to match 2007 in new installations.

If you are interested in how your bank account can benefit and you can learn be a good steward of this beautiful creation by reducing your energy costs by up to 80% and becoming environmentally sound, research the following options:

1. Hybrid "Water Car"

2. Solar and Wind Power for Your Home

3. Hydrogen - Clean Fuel
