Whenever a sector has big winners, cheap, poor and greedy people are gonna look to get in on the action by buying and hyping bottom-of-the-barrel-companies that trade for less than $5/share. It’s science. Take alternative energy—the rise of superstars like First Solar, Inc. (FSLR) and Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (ENER) have paved the way for runups [...]

I've been thinking about the uses of alternative energy, and I was thinking of the best places we could employ, windturbines, solar cells and Geo-thermal heating systems. What we need are places that have a lot of land, have building budgets to buy the equipment and are empty almost half the year. You know what I'm talking about don't you. Schools. Most schools have large areas of land, so they c

So today, I finally decided that I plan on investing about $50 a month in a mutual fund. I am looking for an alternative energy/renewable fuels fund with companies like First Solar and BP. I need the fund to be mid growth and medium risk. I’m somewhat of a conservative when it comes to stock [...]

Most everyone knows about how research at DARPA led to the innovation we now know as the internet, as a response to its communication needs. And now the U.S. Military is launching a 'green makeover' and synthetic fuel push as a response to its dependence on an uncertain supply of oil. WSJ report outlines the details about how the U.S. Military, the country's largest single consumer of oil, is

“Despite my insistent, if illogical, argument against the idea, I am assured by those in the business that, yes, wind turbines do sometimes stop moving. And when they do, batteries to store and release back excess energy from earlier, more blustery, hours is a necessity, which is where NGK Insulators comes in.” — Stephanie Grimmett [...]

Solar happens to be the most talked about concept of alternative energy. It is a concept that uses panels to collect all of heart from the sun and then it is converted into energy to help give you energy for your home, car, business, and even the future. You will want to make sure that you take solar power seriously and that you and all of the others get updated. It is the modern times and there are modern ways to approach things like energy. You will want to help the world by causing the energy sources to give off fewer pollutants and help preserve the Earth for future generations. By researching you will want to makes sure that you take solar power into consideration by doing all of the research and learning the advantages of this alternative fuel option. You or others in your community more than likely use solar power without even realizing it. If you own a swimming pool, the solar cover you use to cover it when it is not in use is a form of solar energy. The solar covers will hel

 Liberals have a way of telling people how they should live their lives for the betterment of the common good. However when it comes to these same liberals living the lifestyle they want us to lead that is another story. Speaking of another story, that leads me to this story.  Liberals, such as Ted Kennedy are constantly talking about alternative energies, about renewable energies. They are telling us we need to invest in these energies as a country to reduce our dependency on foreign oil. We could reduce our dependency on foreign oil by drilling for more domestic oil, but liberals like Ted Kennedy can’t have that.  We could put up wind-farms off shore, that sounds like a great idea to me. However I don’t live next to the ocean so the building of these farms will have no profound effect on my lifestyle. Do you know who does live on the ocean front where the wind-farms are supposed to be built? Ted Kennedy, who is for alternative, and renewable energy. So you would think

Grad students at MIT are wanting to harvest the energy produced from the walking of large crowds gathered at malls and other high traffic areas, to create an alternative energy source. AutoBlog Green writes: “they want to harness that energy by building in a generating system tied to the vibrations of the floor. As people move around the individual energy is small but when aggregated it could potentially produce a significant amount of power” Novel green design idea and one that hopefully would propel Congress to create funding initiatives to support such newfound concepts in science and energy.

The current president of Brazil gets emotional very easily when dreaming of a future in which Brazil will lead the nations of a new world where clean energies will dominate. As usual, the reality is quite different. While you travel through Brazil, those of you with a keen sense of curiosity will wonder why the gigantic potential Brazil has for the production of clean energies is being wasted in such a shameful way. Brasil has a total installed windpower capacity of 250WM. An amount dwarfed by the achievements of countries like Germany (18,415 WM) or Spain (11,615WM). The Centro Brasileiro de Energía Eólica has studied the characteristics of the winds blowing in the Northeast of Brazil. Its conclusion is that the potential for the commercial explotation of those winds is even better than that of the winds blowing in Europe. However, you can travel days and days through the Northeast and not come across a single wind turbine. As for solar energy, an infinite source in the dry and po

Since I am interesting in cutting our dependence on foreign oil & global warming, I wanted to see what Judy Neville (New Canaan's First Selectwoman) and Jeb Walker (her opponent) had to say about alternative energy. Judy did not respond - perhaps she thinks that she does not need to respond to the voters since she is already in power. Maybe she will after that snide remark. :) Jeb stated the

by Abbi Adest With Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth' sweeping Hollywood and monster storms swamping coastlines, global warming is nearly impossible to ignore anymore.

How do we save the world and still live our energy-dependent, modern lifestyles? Many corporations,

Chemists at UCLA Design the Least Dense Crystals Known to Man for Applications in Clean EnergyChemists at UCLA have designed new organic structures for the storage of voluminous amounts of gases for use in alternative energy technologies. The research, to be published on April 13 in the journal Science, demonstrates how the design principles of reticular chemistry have been used to create three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks, which are entirely constructed from strong covalent bonds and have high thermal stability,high surface areas and extremely low densities.The team of researchers comprises chemists from the Center for Reticular Chemistry at UCLA's California NanoSystems Institute and the departments of chemistry and biochemistry at UCLA. Led by Omar Yaghi, UCLA professor of chemistry and biochemistry, the team has developed a class of materials in which components can be changed nearly at will. Reticular chemistry, the brainchild of Yaghi, is the chemistry of linking mole

All of these technologies have some problems in common. The first is the intermittency and reliability of the sources. It isnt always windy, the sun isnt always shining and waves arent always splashing. This causes the inherent problem of providing a constant power supply to users at home.  Â» original news (via hugg.com)

One problem for home owners today is the increasing price of the utility bill. This bill is feared every month, although we know it is coming and there is no way to get out of it. One of the utilities we most fear is electricity. Electricity is very important in ...
