Tip! Solar-thermal systems are used to produce heat, often in the form of hot water. If you are going with a solar thermal system for your alternative energy needs, it must be approved by the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation or similar certification.
What are fossil fuels?
Essentially there are three fossil fuel sources available to the world but each of them are dwindling. The most abundant is coal; coal is widely used and inexpensively extracted. As such, we have come to rely exceptionally heavily on coal and while there is still quite a large amount of coal left it is estimated that America’s remaining coal will sustain the country for the next 200 too 300 years but it is by no means a perfectly clean form of power.

Tip! If we are to win the energy war and break our addiction to foreign Middle Eastern Oil it is going to take more than lip service, as we must accelerate alternative energy uses and increase research and development and move this stuff to market as fast as possible as if we were at war. Consider this in 2006.
It is essential that we find affordable and workable sources of alternative energy before the world completely consumes the already limited stock of fossil fuels. Many countries have started to introduce renewable energy schemes and more still have invested money into researching and even producing different sources of alternative energy. While it is essential that we become less reliant or not reliant at all on fossil fuels, many forms of alternative energy have their disadvantages as well as their obvious advantages. It has to be said though, that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages in many cases.

Tip! Many new alternative energy homes have solar cells, which generate more energy than the home needs and sells the additional energy back to the grid. If and when it ever gets to cold or too overcast for many days in a row the home can still use energy from the grid.
Did you know that commercial and government wastewater treatment facilities in the United States of America use between five and six percent of America’s energy resources? What if there was a way to have these sewage treatment plants and wastewater treatment facilities, operated by the government, generate their old electricity to power of the systems. In other words they would not need any energy from the grid. Sure, they would still be connected to the grid, but only in an emergency would they a drawl power as a backup. How is this possible you ask? Well, using bacteria to make electricity.

Tip! I completely approve of Bush’s strong leadership and taking his message on the Road and talking up the great companies and research folks who are working on efficient, good ROI and sensible alternative energy concepts. Anyone who condemns his alternative energy efforts now, is shooting themselves in the foot.
The President of the United States of America has stated that our nation is addicted to Foreign Oil and that we need to break the habit if we are to continue to use the amounts of energy that we do. Few can deny this truth and the answer is technology in alternative energies and alternative fuels. But how can the United States turn this great big ship around and be able to become more self-efficient?

Tip! These are only a few alternative energy sources that are available around the world, and more and more funding is becoming available for the production and research of these sources.
The lights in an average household use about 20% of the total electricity, so anything that will reduce that power consumption will help lower your energy bill while cutting down on pollution. Fortunately, it’s easy to save energy on lighting by simply installing energy saving light bulbs.
Regular incandescent light bulbs produce light by heating a small filament inside the bulb. This heat production accounts for 90% of the energy they consumer. Energy saving light bulbs are florescent, much more efficient because they don’t need heat to produce light.
