Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) was conceived of by the French engineer Jacques D’Arsonval in 1881. However, at the time of this writing the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii is home to the only operating experimental OTEC plant on the face of the earth. OTEC is a potential alternative energy source that needs to be funded and explored much more than it presently is.
The great hurdle to get over with OTEC implementation on a wide and practically useful level is cost. It is difficult to get the costs down to a reasonable level because of the processes presently utilized to drive OTEC. Ocean thermal energy would be very clean burning and not add pollutants into the air. However, as it… Read More

We all know that fossil fuels aren’t the great energy source we thought they were.  One of the most promising source of alternative energy is wind energy. A lot of us have become very disillusioned with the big oil companies.  While we’re scrambling to keep our heads above water, in part because of higher utility bills, they were making record profits.  For this reason a lot of us would like to be able to generate our own electricity and get off the grid once and for all. That’s probably why so many people are building their own home wind turbines.  They can save money, help out the environment, and be more independent and less reliant on their utility company. Here are… Read More

Alternative energy will be a key factor in America’s success as an technological leader, a world power, and a role model for every other nation in this world.Right now, we burn billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the air on a regular basis and it’s having a pretty bad effect. Global temperatures have exponentially risen over the past few decades. Glaciers are melting in Antarctica and Greenland. Hurricanes and storms are getting worse. Sea levels are beginning to rise. Animals are dissappearing. Mother nature is crying out to us, but we seem so oblivious.Solar energy is a great way to solve this problem. Sure it doesn’t generate too much power, but the source is unlimited (at least for your lifetime)… Read More
