North America, particularly U.S. desperately needs much stronger renewable energy sector, and the most promising look to be solar energy and wind energy. The latter one could looks to be soon experiencing new boom with the deployment of 40,000 new wind turbines across North America, and in the period of only 6 years, by the year 2015. Well, this is at least what report from Pike Research has to

Fossil fuels are formed by the anaerobic decomposition of remains of organisms including phytoplankton and zooplankton that settled to the sea (or lake) bottom in large quantities under anoxic conditions, millions of years ago.Fossil fuels are oil, coal and natural gas. In 2006 primary sources of energy consisted of petroleum 36.8%, coal 26.6%, and natural gas 22.9%, amounting to an 86% share for

China has many times expressed desire to stop being used as the synonym for pollution due to heavy industrialization and the excessive use of fossil fuels, most notably coal. China is still heavily dependent on fossil fuels but is also investing huge resources into its renewable energy sector in order to become greener in years to come. One of the most dominant renewable energy sectors is

There are two basic types of geothermal power plants currently in use, steam plants and binary plants. Steam plants use the hot water and very hot steam (with temperatures over 300F) to power a turbine that feeds a generator directly (if this is a "dry steam" principle) or they can depressurize the very high-pressure and temperature water to create steam ("flash steam" principle). Currently steam

Using geothermal energy has very long tradition in human history. For instance people in ancient times have used geothermal energy for hot springs, cooking, bathing and heating purposes. Basically there are three primary ways to use geothermal energy:The heat from the Earth could be used directly for heating systems in houses or buildings. The hot water close to the Earth's surface can be

China is world's biggest polluter, and country that has become a synonym for pollution so it is really no surprise that China is mobilising its renewable sector in an effort to make the economy greener and decrease pollution across many Chinese cities. Therefore the Chinese government has offered solar companies support policies including land, bank loans and research fund in order to further

When it comes down to renewable energy, most people think only of wind turbines, and solar panels, because most people think how solar and wind power are the two only renewable energy sources. But this is far from truth, there is also geothermal energy that can be quite useful energy source but many people know very little about this energy source. Maybe this has to do with the fact that oil

Coal power plants are among the most significant source of CO2 emissions, and mostly responsible for global warming and climate change. Coal is often described as the dirtiest energy source, and if world wants to tackle global warming and climate change coal related emissions would have to be significantly reduced. Though many agree that world should stop relying so much on coal this won't be so

By definition sustainable energy is the provision of energy such that it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. That means that sustainable energy is energy which is replenishable within a human lifetime and causes no long-term damage to the environment. From this definition it is clear that all renewable energy sources are

Alternative fuels are very popular lately because rising oil prices and very serious problems with global warming and climate changes. Most alternative fuels are ecologically more acceptable than petrol or diesel, but main motivator to change fuel type is still only money. Some alternative fuels are also very cheap compared to fossil fuels and that is very tempting for most drivers – save money

The energy coming from the sun to the Earth's surface is called solar energy. Sun energy is generated in its nucleus mainly through the thermonuclear reaction of hydrogen fusion into helium. In the form of electromagnetic waves this energy is then transmitted from the nucleus towards the surface of the Sun and further on in the surrounding space. The Sun's energy is generated in its core.
