Sustainable Patriotism

10/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar & Wind | Commentary
Do something Sustainable (and thus Patriotic) every day. Take a simple walk instead of taking "a ride," invest in renewable by installing solar or wind, or buying green from your utility, use a compact fluorescent bulb, buy local vegetables, switch to a bio-fuel, trade in that gas hog for something clean and efficient.

The Importance of Watersheds to Your Community

10/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar & Wind | Green Building Articles
Thinking on the scale of a watershed is useful for environmental work as we can scale things down for planning purposes, and therefore have a greater impact on the environment.

The World Needs Gigawatts not Megawatts

10/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar & Wind | Analysis and Trends, Photovoltaic Systems
If the Photovoltaics industry is going to play a significant role in worldwide electricity production in the future it all comes down to one word - scalability, the ability of a technology to expand its production capacity to very large sizes, thereby enabling significant cost decreases.

Transportation for a Clean Planet

10/01/06, 12:00 AM | Energy Storage & Grids, Other Energy Topics | Systems, Vehicles | Maxwell Technologies, Inc.
Since successful testing in 2003, ISE has incorporated ultracapacitors into its gasoline, diesel and fuel-cell hybrid electric vehicles with extraordinary results.

Ultracapacitors Double Life of Wave Measurement Buoys

10/01/06, 12:00 AM | Energy Storage & Grids | Technology Discussions, ultracapacitors | Maxwell Technologies, Inc.
By working together with a primary battery, the ultracapacitors have helped to at least double the lifetime, which means that battery life no longer determines the service interval for the buoy.

What's ahead for neighborhood electric vehicles?

10/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar & Wind | Vehicles
The cost of ownership is one-third and the fuel efficiency is eight times greater when compared to their gasoline-powered counterparts.

Benefits of 24/7 Battery Equalization

08/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar & Wind | Photovoltaic Systems, Technology Discussions
The equalizer captures energy from batteries with "above average voltage" and dumps that energy into the ones with "below average voltage". When the overachievers try to excel in voltage, their excess energy is used to bring the underachievers up to par.

Can Electricity Save Energy

08/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar & Wind | Technology Discussions
With the increasing conversion efficiency of electricity in generation, the increasing share of renewable electricity, the high efficiency at the point of use and the potential for system level efficiencies, there is a lot of supporting evidence for a claim that electricity can save energy.

China's Attempt to Balance the Environment and a Rapidly Growing Economy

08/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar & Wind | Analysis and Trends, Technology Discussions
China may be positioning to change its global image from environmental disasters to an environmental leader, as it was recently recognized as the world leading investor in renewable energy.

E85 - An American Alternative

08/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar & Wind | Fuels
FFVs can be fueled with 100 percent gasoline up to 85 percent ethanol. Fueling between the two products is driver transparent; no switches need to be flipped or buttons turned.

Editorial Comments

08/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar & Wind | Editorials
A terrific issue with a great variety of articles about Alternative Solutions for Energy and perhaps the coolest Earth Toy yet. I want a Tesla Roadster for Christmas.

Greening Affordable Housing

08/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar & Wind | Residential
The green building techniques used by HEB are not radical, and should be accessible to any builder.

H2 Truck Demonstrates Practical Use of Hydrogen Powered Fuel Cell Vehicles

08/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar & Wind | Vehicles
The H2 Truck is a small vehicle used in many different operation fields including luggage hauling, small commercial vehicles, hospitals and ports.

How Many Energy Slaves Do We Employ?

08/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar & Wind | Commentary, Opinions and Advice
We use about 128,640 horsepower-hours, or the equivalent of 147 energy slaves working for each of us 24/7, all year long.

Is America ready for Wind Hydrogen?

08/01/06, 12:00 AM | Solar & Wind | Analysis and Trends, Technology Discussions
While flow batteries and other devices can be used to compensate for wind's intermittent output, it's difficult to match the investor and political enthusiasm for hydrogen.
