Did you know that 170 million gigawatts of solar energy hit the earth every second? That is more energy than the earth has used since the beginning of the industrial era.

Wind power in the U.S. is exploding, and we want to show you some of this country’s best resources. For this post we are going to take a snapshot of what’s happening in the state of Kansas (being that it is the state where I was born). First, take a look at these [...]

We personally want to share this video with you again because this plan is phenomenal.
This gentleman has the same thoughts that we do.  The main being collaboration.  We as a society can do anything, if we were all on the same page.  We want to personally thank Mitch Miller for the insight and reference for [...]

Earning the ENERGY STAR means products meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.

ENERGY STAR qualified geothermal heat pumps use about 30% less energy than a standard heat pump.
They are quieter than conventional systems.

Geothermal heat pumps (sometimes referred to as GeoExchange, earth-coupled, ground-source, or water-source [...]

We found these compelling files on energy, electricity, and oil.  Take a look and dissect what is going on.
The power we make and where it goes:
Source and Sector
Oil, what’s coming in and where it is being spent:
Petrol
Our electricity, its tiny renewables, huge coal, and big conversion losses:
Electricity
Another snapshot of total energy:

A careful study of these [...]

Economically, personal energy independence just makes sense.  Whether it be wind, solar, gasification, other renewable sources, or a mix of few of these, there are some serious adavantages.  And while it will be tough for an individual to become fully independent, our furture may count on getting as close to that mark as we can.
Let’s [...]

For those that don’t know, the newer generation Ethanol plants are quite a production to see.  We know what you are saying…”You just did a post that said that Ethanol may not be the answer to the fuel cost.”  We do agree with you, but green is green, and we feel we need to give [...]

Here’s a term you should know: Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). These power systems create electricity by using the heat deep below the Earth’s surface. The government and Google.org (a great outfit) showed their support for this young technology by throwing a combined $100 million at it, and while that initial investment is only [...]

We gave you a how-to guide before, but now, here is an actual house that does it.

Today is all about how you can help with ideas and putting it into action.  Let’s talk about Solar Power, and if done right, how you could actually make some money off of Solar Power.  Let us first tell you, that you have to live in an area to actually make a decent profit off [...]
