      • Residential “Power-Saver” devices
        04/28/09
        This is very controversial topic with only one inevitable result. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
        Have you seen this device advertised, Power-Saver 1200? For about $300 you can save upwards of 30% on your residential energy bill.

        This product is based on the cl

      • Are the Economic times a burden to our Green objectives?
        04/28/09
        Every day brings new reports of tens of millions of Federal, state and private dollars being pumped into Alternative Energy initiatives. But very little appears to be popping up at our local stores in the form of solutions.

        With a $4 to $6 billion budget deficit, is this the right time

      • US Renewable Energy Maps now available
        04/28/09
        “Renewable Energy for America” is an online tool to look at both existing and proposed alternative clean energy development facilities.

      • Does Green Energy Cost More?
        04/23/09
        Utility companies nationwide are jumping on the claim that YES they do. Of course this lends to benefit utility companies from both federal funds and higher energy bills for the consumer.

        Some argue, utility providers, that they already have enough power for their communities and the c

      • Misleading Turbine Watt Ratings
        04/06/09
        W(watt) ratings very rarely tell you how much power a turbine will produce. Most small turbines are advertised with a given W rating or output. For example, a turbine might be called 500W, 10 kW, 5 kW or 25 kW (1000 w = 1 Kw). The rating describes the rated capacity of the turbine at a particular

      • How much solar do I need?
        04/03/09
        First you need to know “how much stuff you have”, then you need to know “How Solar works”. Additionally, but not such a critical factor is “where you live”, it’s fair to assume you will get about 6 hours of direct sunlight a day on average considering clouds, rain, and other weather c

      • Will GM go Electric?
        04/03/09
        With recent stimulus dollars will GM be positioned to finally finish what other poorly funded and under resourced companies have failed at?

        GM has played in this field before with the Chevy Volt and plans on a production release in 2010. Though the Volt is only about 50% electric, it

      • Government wants to tax Clean Energy
        04/03/09
        This week Assembly Democrats proposed a wind, solar and other clean energy tax in Navada. Nevada is one of our leading states in the production of Clean Energy. Why would the government want to tax the very product that eliminates our need for foreign oil dependency?
