Cars are known as one of the most polluting devices in the world due to their sheer number and frequency of use, so using more eco-friendly technology is always welcome. While hybrid cars do limit the pollution somewhat, this is nothing compared to solar technology. If cars could harness the power of the sun, then not only does pollution go down, but so does the price of gas, as it would be unneeded. While solar cars might seem like a great invention in the future, there are actually several solar cars in use right now. They are not commonly used on the street, but their current incarnations are leading the way for consumer versions of this technology.

Deep Cycle Batteries - Going Green to Save Green

by Stephen Daniels

Deep cycle batteries are a great way to add to your green agenda. While probably best known for their use in storing energy generated by solar panels, these power sources require less maintenance, last longer and are cleaner than regular batteries. Highly versatile, they are being utilized in more and more applications, allowing people to reduce their carbon footprint and their dependence on fossil fuels. A look at how batteries work will help you understand how these durable, cost effective power sources are playing an important role in alternative energy and green technology.

Batteries do not create energy; they store it. The real difference between a deep cycle and a starter battery is its (Read More.....)
