North Americans need a new energy strategy, one that focuses on energy efficiency and conservation. It has been proven to be much cheaper to invest in energy efficiency plans than to build more energy generating facilities such as power plants.
Small tidal power companies are taking advantage of the rising interest in alternative energies. Large amounts of coastal waters are being reserved on both coasts of North America by small companies who plan to take advantage of ocean energy technologies,
The pedal powered generator from Windstream is perfect for emergencies, power failures, remote locations, and off-grid applications. It can be pedaled or cranked by hand to charge 12 volt batteries and run small appliances.
Ecotricity is offering business and residential customers in the UK the opportunity to lower pollution levels and support the growth of alternative energy by purchasing clean energy. Company profits are invested in further research and development of clea
Hydrogen fuel cells to power vehicles is desirable, experts say, because hydrogen is a renewable fuel that can be used to create electricity to run cars. A chemical reaction between oxygen and hydrogen produces the electric power, and when pure hydrogen i
