Harnessing Power from Water Energy

Water energy is a renewable energy source, and is primarily used to generate electricity in the modern era through a process called hydroelectric generation, where the flow of the water runs a turbine, which is used to drive a generator. The United States is one of the world leaders in hydroelectric power generation, getting nearly 10% of its total power from hydroelectric plants; as the price of oil increases, and volatility in the Middle East sends shocks through the energy markets, many more consumers are seeing the benefit of water energy and hydro-electric plants, even though dam construction projects are expensive, and significant environmental impacts.

Solar Energy is Green Energy

Solar energy is the earliest source of energy known to mankind, and is also the origin of other forms of energy used by man. Other renewable sources of energy, such as, wind energy, hydro power, biomass and ocean energy are the indirect forms of solar energy. Solar energy has many salient features, which make it an attractive proposition. These features are wide-spread distribution, environment friendly and virtually inexhaustible supply.

Carbon Tax Versus Cap-and-Trade Approaches to Global Warming - Part 1

After making a strong case for Europe to adopt the cap-and-trade strategy back in 1997, the United States took two important steps in the other direction since then. One such development is the recent proliferation of coal-fired power plants built all over the Mid West. Within the next ten years we can expect to see dozens of coal-plants at the 1,500 MW range spewing out about a million tons of sulphur a year into the atmosphere.

Remote Energy Monitoring for Cement Plants

In the past decade, cement plants have made concerted efforts in the area of optimizing energy consumption and succeeded in bring down the specific consumption from the level of over 100 electrical units per ton to less than 80 units. For coal the figure is down from 750 kilocalories to less than 600. This has been done by some logical steps and modifications in the production process. Each unit of reduction now requires a lot more effort to achieve as compared to the previous reduction. Therefore, the need of the hour is fine tuning the system by more sophisticated means to achieve cost reduction and devising newer ways of lowering consumption.

The Economy's Greatest Depression Downturn Ever Is Now Just A Few Years Away

The American economy is just a few years away from the onset of the greatest depression in its history, worse than the 1930s. Driven by our immutable demographics, Baby Boomers' spending will decline dramatically as they slip past the 45-54 year age band. Historically, the US economy has followed this key demographic spending curve for nearly a hundred years with a near glove fit. Their decline in spending and its effect on the economy can only be described as catastrophic.
