How I spent my Canada Day 2020... Sounds a bit kindergarten-ish :)
Hmm, these future-y ideas seem kind of funny to me. It just sounds like those essays entitled "How I spent my summer vacations", y'know, the one's that we did in first grade. Granted, I could use a vocabulary greater than that of a first grader's.
So, I really want to throw an awesome Canada Day in 2020. For those that don't know, Canada Day takes place on July 1st, every year since 1867. People tend to be pretty patriotic about…

Power Shift-Saving Energy Project
Amory Lovins is actively trying to lecture and let people know how to change their ways and reduce consumption of oil and fossil fuels. Educated at Harvard and Oxford, he advises the government and worldwide major firms on how to save energy and resources efficiently. He wrote books on reducing consumption by making a commitement to a policy that rewards social innovation. This will motivate people to see his reasoning, and make small sacrifices with commitment to follow a sound energy-saving… Continue

Sustainable Energy is the key to a prosperous future.
Currently there is no cost efficient alternative to fossil fuels. Cheap Fossil fuel is the foundation of the global quality of life. Without it all modern production chains stop. To maintain our quality of life we must replace fossil fuels. So, I use the term “efficient alternative” to mean a system of energy production…

[Power Shift: Act] Powering a car through the use of x-rays, salt water, and possibly antigravity? We can!
| So I've done some research into the use of renewable energy, especially that which applies to cars. I think a great goal to work torwards is powering cars cleanly and cheaply. Now, due to my (somewhat limited) research on the subject, it seems we can! Here's how. First thing first, I saw on youtube (Hey, you can learn a lot from youtube) that a man recently found a way to cause salt water to… |

Wave Energy For Today and Tomorrow
Most major cities are near the ocean. Wave energy is a predictable source of renewable energy. Ocean Power Technologies is a company that has developed power buoys. I see wave energy as a great source of renewable energy for utility scale desalination and coastal communities. They don't have the eye sore issue of offshore wind.
Maybe in distant future they could even power offshore… Continue

Simpler Solar Power Article
I just read this article from Popular Science about simpler Solar Power. We are now producing cheaper, thinner solar panels. One of the examples was a messenger bag that could charge a cell phone, and the others where new designs of roof panels. Read it.

Window Solar Panels
I live in a small dorm room. I am limited in what I can do. I can't change the power source from the dorm, but I could possibly change it from the window. My idea apparently isn't original, but I would like to see Window Solar Panels. Solar Panels could become a power source for my fan [since I don't have air conditioning], or for other small appliances. They could either hang from the Window, or… Continue

Halloween in 2020
It's Halloween night on the year 2020 and I am 28 years old. My life is at a good point and I am working hard and enjoying life as good as I can.
Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year because I am into all the dark stuff and horror themes. It's what makes me happy just like a little girl loves her rainbow ponies and magical castle land. LOL
On halloween I usually go out to a movie or attend a haunted house walkthrough ride with friends.…

LEARN [3] Power Shift-Monitizing Carbon offsets
I discovered David Palella and is wonderful solar powered cook stoves when I began to look at ways to improve the quality of health in Nigeria. I am particularly interested in nutrition and its impact on health and well being, so his use solar power to cook when that would otherwise not have been possible was a delight to find. Even more so because he developed a method to pay for the cost of the cooking…

Drumming Your Energy
Think about this, your playing the drums and you need power. So you just beat the drum and it produces energy from the kinetic energy. If you can do it with a dance floor why not do it with a drum.

chimney power
When updraft is achieved on an acceptable level for burning fuel instead of just partly closing chimney by a flap to reduce flow maybe we should add turbines that would slow down flow and gain electricity from it.

Embodied Energy = eMergy
Every single object produced has an amount of energy in it´s manufacture. This includes every brick in every house, every piece of clothes that you wear. eMergy yes with an M instead of an n is a way of measuring this energy requirements. It´s a very holistic approach to measure energy since it takes in account all the energy since its a raw material extraction, transport,… Continue

Energy requiered to produce a Pound of Food
Everything is connected. Energy is required to produce our food so here
is an interesting chart

this could change if the production systems change and if they are less
dependent on non-renewable sources of energy.
To this we should add the energy required for food transportation and… Continue

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
