During the US Presidential Election 2008 Campaign, the renewable portfolio standard was one of the main agendas for Presidential candidate, Mr. Barrack Obama. He suggested that in order to have an environment fit for living, one-fourth of the energy used in United States must come from renewable energy resources, such as wind, water, solar and so on.

The entire concept of energy independence revolves around using the resources within a country. Simply put, it’s “Stay within your own means and stop taking help from outside”. In the United States of America, energy independence is a political agenda whereby the country would eventually, through shifts in its energy policy and technology development, approach self-sufficiency in its energy needs by producing close to the amount of energy that it consumes. If total energy possibilities are taken advantage of, presently the U.S. would be over 70% self-sufficient. (more…)

Natural gas is the fastest growing energy source worldwide, and its share of total energy consumption, according to the EIA, is projected to increase from 23% in 1999 to 28% in 2020. For the United States, the gas share is predicted to increase from 23.6% in 2000 to 26.5% in 2020. Gas is the cleanest of the fossil fuels, and it is the preferred choice for new electric power plants driven by gas turbines. Coal is likely to remain the lead fuel for power generation, but natural gas will expand its share considerably. (more…)

Residential Solar power systems are probably the safest, cleanest alternative for home energy consumption. Solar energy is renewable and never gets depleted as it taps on the UV wavelengths of sunlight. The process of capturing and converting the UV wavelengths into energy does not emit by products into the ozone and hence is an extremely eco friendly approach to generating energy. (more…)

Anyone who wants to save money on gas should be interested in the process of underground coal gasification, or UCG. It is an alternative way of obtaining clean fuels, one that has been explored more recently due to increasing oil prices. Considering that the process benefits everyone, it is surprising how few individuals have any idea what it is. Not only do its advantages affect everyone, but the ideas and technology behind UCG are also fascinating. For this reason, it is important to at least have an idea of what goes on underground during the coal gasification process. (more…)
