"First One On Your Block"

Remember back a time...,that new fangled item came along.Who was it,first to have the thing.'fore long ,forgotten.Simply burried 'neath the fact that everybody's got "it" now. Seems to me today,that all of that pomp is gone.With the dayly introductions of new gadgetry,how might one keep up with it?I don't know what half

of the items in the new "SHACK" flyer are.But then...,I still don't have a cell phone.Somethin' inherently wrong with the things,they should not have this grip on our y

Reflexions in the pond of thoughts :)

There are some ironic parallels in the various concepts perceived by the human mind individually and strikingly convincing too sometimes.... The TAO of Physics talks in length about some of these parallels which i found to be very enlighting.. WELL WHAT HAS THIS GOT TO DO WITH ALTERNATIVE ENERGY????? Letting the creative horses running it seems therez a parallel in how our body converts food to energy.. it is just to shift our focus from technology to application.. WHATS IN IT FOR THE END USE

We tend to over complicate the simple

I hope I won't offend anyone with my nonsense so here goes. I have spent several years in a beautiful place developing a resort, walking the forest, looking at the clues in nature, and and trying to figure out how things work. I have come to realize that most all of our grand ideas that we take credit for are cheap copies of things already found in nature. We sound the trumpet and say ta daaa and we just mimicked something the creator already made. So while we spin our gadgets and apparatus abo… Continue

DOE Says Grid Requires Multi-Billion Upgrade to Handle Wind Power

The U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory today released a major study of the technical, operational, and economic issues facing the integration of large amounts of wind energy into the power system. The bottom line is: The existing grid serving most of the United States east of the Rockies would need a multi-billion dollar upgrade before it could handle even 20% wind-generated power. The DOE's Eastern Wind Integration and Transmission Study (EWITS) evaluates the imp… Continue

Windmills on Office Buildings?

Solar panels on office buildings and homes have become almost commonplace. But windmills? That is what SC Johnson is doing at its corporate headquarters in Racine, Wisconsin. The company has launched a wind energy pilot program with the installation of three new wind turbines. The objectives are to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and raise awareness that renewable energy is not just for factories, but also office buildings in urban settings. The three wind turbines are located on the roo… Continue

Business of Green in NY Times

Today's edition of the NY Times has some great articles in a special section called "Business of Green". Some of the articles I liked best were "Making Renewable Energy More Reliable" and a piece on floating wind turbines, which I believe hold great promise for developing renewable wind energy and providing an answer to "what do you do when the wind stops blowing"? Anybody who has lived near the ocean, especially in line of the trade winds, knows just how constant wind can be! Another fascinatin… Continue

The food we take in, the energy that it gives us ( well i tried to live on fruit juices for 3 days and found my energy levels go down and needed to lie dow… Continue
