The thing I like best is when there's a hurricane and a hurricane expert comes on TV and says "It's releasing as much power as fifty Hiroshima atom bombs going off every minute." Or else this: "It's producing 200 times, as much energy as all of the electric generating plants in the world."
Nothing points out better the absurdities in discussion of America's energy future. Because last time I looked, a hurricane is solar energy.

Solar energy on the scale of...

While some people make call me crazy, at the age of 51 (soon to be 52), one of my DREAMS is to be able to retire in a small solar efficient cottage that I designed.

And the reason for this? With today’s economy and being laid off since June 2008, BOTH unemployment benefits and savings gone, I know I have to have somewhere to lay my head at nights (lol).
I am presently staying with my daughter and have a male friend who I had stayed with in Phenix City, Alabama for 8 weeks before...

To extend the swimming season after summer has come and gone, many people are turning to swimming pool heaters. A heater is great to have, especially with colder days. If you’ve thought about buying a heater for your swimming pool, there are probably a lot of things that you’ve found yourself wondering.

When using a pool heater, you can adjust the temperature of your pool...

There are many types of energy like kinetic, potential, gravitational, thermal and others. Energy can be transferred from one form to another. For a very simple example, a stationary ball on top of a table (potential energy) falls from the side of the table (gravitational and kinetic energy). In this case, the potential energy converted into kinetic and gravitational energy. But, in essence, the total energy of the system for the ball remained the same.

Energy cannot be destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another form. Discovery of this energy transformation theory was a major breakthrough in science & technology which led to numerous innovations. These innovations has helped mankind to bring about today‘s modern & advanced world.
