First, this method has the ability to generate power, which has obvious effects in regards to the currentthe current modes of producing power. In addition to this advantageous result, by propelling the carbon dioxide through the hot rock, these dangerous greenhouse gases that are produced by fossil fuel power stations http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Pumping-Carbon-Dioxide-to-Generate-Power-and-More/98579 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Pumping-Carbon-Dioxide-to-Generate-Power-and-More/98579 A similar picture is emerging in the market structure of UK business electricity retailers as witnessed within the supermarket sector especially between the competitive practices being undertaken. http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Small-is-Efficient-in-the-Electricity-Sector/89682 Thu, 27 Dec 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Small-is-Efficient-in-the-Electricity-Sector/89682 All you need is a good idea, right? Well, no, because there's always the problem of other people. Some of them, out there, seem determined and doomed to mess things up. Watch out, in case they get in your way, and let Mike Scantlebury show you the real road to where you want to go. http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Alternatives-to-good-ideas/89543 Sat, 22 Dec 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Alternatives-to-good-ideas/89543 An article describing how to get an energy certificate http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Apply-For-An-Energy-Performance-Certificate/87107 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Apply-For-An-Energy-Performance-Certificate/87107 An article about the U.S renewable energy research http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Renewable-Energy-Research/87101 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Renewable-Energy-Research/87101 This article is about many different sources of renewable energy http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Learn-About-Renewable-Energy-As-A-Domestic-Energy-Assessor/86209 Sun, 21 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Learn-About-Renewable-Energy-As-A-Domestic-Energy-Assessor/86209 Something is energy efficient if it uses energy efficiently. It can be used to refer to energy conversion efficiency which refers to the proportion between the amount of input of energy used in the system compared to the useful output. Useful output can mean either heat, mechanical power, or electrical power. Energy efficiency was brought to the attention of the average person on the street mainly because of the 1973 oil crisis. http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/When-Do-We-Say-Something-is-Energy-Efficient-/83003 Thu, 04 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/When-Do-We-Say-Something-is-Energy-Efficient-/83003 A relentless increase in world demand for energy, large price increases for natural gas, growing concern about imported energy and security of supply, indecision about nuclear power are all factors which are contributing to the renaissance of coal. Despite the dash for gas in the last two decades, coal remains the number two source of primary energy. In 1965 coal accounted for 38.4% of total final energy consumption, by 1999 this had been whittled down to 25.1% but today it has risen to 27.8%. Production grew 14.3% in the 20 years between 1981 and 2000 but then by 27.1% in total between 2000 and 2005. http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Coal-is-Making-a-Come-back/81256 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Coal-is-Making-a-Come-back/81256 The Hydrogen Economy is coming but it may consist of a hybrid of hydrogen applications side by side with conventional fossil fuels, nuclear and renewable energy. The final evolution is so far in the future and the waters are so uncharted that many variants are possible. http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/The-Hydrogen-Economy/69510 Mon, 23 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/The-Hydrogen-Economy/69510 The Kashiwazaki Kariwa nuclear power plant in Japan discharged approximately 350 gallons of radioactive water into the sea today after an earthquake shook the Japanese town, which is 160 miles northwest of Tokyo. http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Is-Nuclear-Power-Safe-/68838 Thu, 19 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Is-Nuclear-Power-Safe-/68838 The trend toward homes that are powered by alternative energy sources, ranging from wind turbines and solar collection cells to hydrogen fuel cells and biomass gases, is one that needs to continue into the 21st century and beyond. We have great need of becoming more energy independent, and not having to rely on the supplying of fossil fuels from unstable nations who are often hostile to us and our interests. http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Resources-for-Alternative-Energy/50342 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Resources-for-Alternative-Energy/50342 You cant turn on the TV or open a magazine these days without reading about the rise of China and how they will be the next economic superpower within the next few decades. http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/How-will-Chinas-energy-consumption-effect-the-West-/34852 Mon, 20 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/How-will-Chinas-energy-consumption-effect-the-West-/34852 Could most of our environmental issues really be a result of our psychic clutter, our unexamined or unconscious material that often runs our lives outside of our awareness. http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Are-Our-Environmental-Issues-a-Result-of-our-Psychic-Clutter-/29374 Sat, 30 Sep 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Are-Our-Environmental-Issues-a-Result-of-our-Psychic-Clutter-/29374 If you live in a suburban or rural area near a source of cheap wood, you could heat your home for the entire season for the cost of one months electric heat bill. An outdoor furnace requires less tending, eliminates respiratory problems caused by burning wood indoors, and keeps the wood burning mess outside. http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Got-Trees--An-Outdoor-Wood-Furnace-Will-Cut-Your-Energy-Bills-Down-To-Size/26540 Sat, 26 Aug 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Got-Trees--An-Outdoor-Wood-Furnace-Will-Cut-Your-Energy-Bills-Down-To-Size/26540 Powering everything with solar energy isn't possible just yet, since the UK doesn't produce enough sunlight to do this. http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Renewable-Energy/10498 Mon, 24 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Renewable-Energy/10498 Switchgrass has long been a staple crop of farmers. It is used as fodder for farm animals, fuel, and electrical needs, as a buffer strip and soil erosion control. However, when President Bush introduced The Biofuels Initiative during his 2006 state of the nation address, he moved this native prairie grass use as an energy crop to the forefront. http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Is-Switchgrass-a-Viable-Energy-Crop-/9832 Mon, 17 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlegarden.com/Article/Is-Switchgrass-a-Viable-Energy-Crop-/9832
