Is Biomass Heating Really Carbon Friendly?
For people who use coal or oil for heating, switching to biomass will certainly reduce carbon emissions as long as there is a program in place for sustainable management of the resource.
Look, Ma… No Wires!
There are an estimated 43 million street lights in the USA and at least 55 million parking lot and parkway lights. Since they combine to use about 10% of all the electricity consumed in the USA, taking them to LED is a step in the right direction but going all the way to zero energy use is even better.

Powerful approaches to energy conservation
Innovative Ontario companies find energy savings in places they'd least expect
Rethinking Solar Farms for the 21st Century: Tapping Ocean Space
An example is in a brave venture in India where a 10 kW prototype floating solar generation facility is being developed for placement in a pond. Pilot projects of this nature have also started to take shape in countries like Japan, France and Australia.
Wind Energy in Oklahoma
Oklahoma's pro-business climate and excellent wind resource have helped to attract wind developers from across the country and the globe.
Geothermal resources used to produce renewable electricity in western states
Geothermal plants are virtually emissions free, and unlike renewable sources such as wind and solar, they provide an available, dispatchable source of baseload power that is able to operate at a relatively high capacity factor.
Green growth: an operational tool (and GDP has had its day…)
Natural capital, made up of several elements that nature provides us with as the sustenance and basis of our society (soil, raw materials, water, clean air, …) has an economic value: today any growth model that ignores this by now shared knowledge can no longer work.
Optimizing Solar Plant Implementation
In this paper, we will focus on a theoretical study and its application to a concrete site. We will try to answer the question: How can we optimize the implementation of horizontal trackers on a solar plant?
Solar Powered Generators & Energy Efficiency, Go Hand In Hand
Energy Efficiency is all about optimal and responsible power use and this is also exactly how one gets the most energy out of their solar generator.
10 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Solar Installer
Going solar should be a great experience - not a headache, and doing your homework upfront will give you something money can't buy - peace of mind.
Upcoming Tradeshow, Conference & Exhibition Summary
October, November, December 2014
This year Solar Power International has moved to October. SPI is perhaps the most important show for the solar industry here in North America.
Stay tuned for the AltEnergyMag SPI 2014 special newspage devoted to news specifically from the show.
Why The Debate Over Energy Storage Utterly Misses The Point
The quest for "The Holy Grail of Energy Storage" is doomed to fail.
Value of Solar Versus Fossil Fuels - Part 2
The value of solar power is being debated across the country by regulators, utility companies, and solar energy providers as distributed generation is increasing. This Energy and Policy Institute series consists of four separate reports summarizing recent developments, while providing recommendations for policy makers.
Energy Sources in a Disaster
Businesses need to invest in back-up renewable power systems to insure that they can continue working during and after a disaster. With such installations, businesses can prevent interruption losses caused by grid failure.
