In college I was fascinated by alternative energy and how it can be produced.  So I attended  a course of environmental physics to learn more about green energies. This helped me learn about what happens in a Solar cell, or in a wind mill or other devices. But the amount of information is enormous and if I just wanted to build a Solar panel I wouldn’t need all of that material. Anyway, for those of you that are curious about what I’m talking about, I recommend the book "Wind &am... Read More

Climate change doesn’t always result in hotter temperatures. Weird weather patterns of recent years can... Read More

Now that the Federal Solar Tax Credit has been modified as a Cash Grant

back to the Solar purchaser in about 60 days, coupled with the state (PG&E Example) Solar cash back rebate in about 60 days, the total cost of addinga Solar electric generation system is no longer the issue, nor is the payback, the issue now becomes, how to we educate and get the world out.

I suggest the following.  Since local schools are strapped for cash, and many student programs are h... Read More

One of the biggest issues that we seem to face in shifting our attention from traditional fossil fuel based energy systems to alternatives appears to come from our expectations of change.  For thousands of years mankind has experienced minimal and gradual change.  Major improvements were things like the wheel, the plow, and the printing press.  For extended periods very little changed.
