As the dire news continues to leach out of Fukishima, the silver lining in its nuclear cloud is that renewable energy technologies, despite their daunting start-up costs, are receiving renewed scrutiny.

Make no mistake - given the trillions of dollars invested over the last five decades in nuclear energy, the industry and its lobbyists will not go down without a fight, promoting new, "safe" reactor designs, etc. etc. etc.

But the Fukushima debacle has finally bared the industry's darkest secret, it inability to manage its nuclear waste. The six reactor TEPCO Daichi Fukushima stored all its waste (Read More.....)

There's a lot of talk right now about transitioning to renewable energy, such as wind and solar power, and converting our transportation system to run on cleaner "alternative" fuels, such as hydrogen and electricity. But what does it all mean? And why should it matter to me? Well, let me see if I can quickly address those questions...

First of all, let's try to demystify the idea of renewable energy. Most of the energy we use today to drive our cars or light up a room are derived primarily from what are referred to (Read More.....)

With the world facing an energy crisis, it is becoming more important to try to conserve our non-renewable sources by reducing our dependency on them. We can reduce our dependancy on them by using renewable energy solutions to replace the non-renewable energy sources we use to produce electricity. Renewable energy solutions refers to those renewable energy sources that can produce power without exhausting our natural resources which are limited. There are three types of renewable energy sources: solar energy, wind energy, and hydro (water) energy all of which are viable solution to our ever depleting non-renewable energy sources.
