Geothermal Energy took a big move forward as Google announced it was investing $10.25 million dollars in an energy technology called Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). The investments will go towards three institutions: AltaRock Energy, Potter Drilling, and the Southern Methodist University Geothermal Lab. The funding will also go towards geothermal resource mapping, information tools, and [...]

From the engineering of electronic fuel injection to numerous piston and valve configurations, the combustion engine has evolved considerably over the last several decades. With incredible time and money invested, it’s hard to neglect the potential for enhanced fuel efficiency on this existing technology platform – there is still much room for improvement. Entirely new [...]

Geothermal energy has gained a lot of supporters over the last couple of years as an alternative energy source. As the technology of geothermal energy has advanced, so has the interest in incorporating it into the overall energy demand. Geothermal took a big move forward this past week as Google announced it was investing $10.25 [...]

A healthy economy is one that participates in foreign import and export business. It’s no surprise that foreign exports play a significant role in the economies in Southeast Asia – seemingly every toy or gadget is manufactured in this part of the World.

Crude oil has been the center of the economy for the past 5 years with no immediate end in site. The battle over the control of oil has pushed the world into a state of “oil shock” as prices have risen worldwide. Oil rich countries such as Russia, Venezuela, and Iran are using their control [...]

Solar energy is arguably the most promising form of alternative energy because of its abundance and low emissions. A number of challenges, however, must be overcome in order to make use of the Sun’s energy. One such challenge is efficient storage of energy collected during the day for use at night. The modern World will [...]

5 factors driving the efficiency of solar energy at Renewable Energy Sources. Solar energy is becoming more cost efficient and here are 5 reasons how it becomes so. Solar Living Institute Solar Trainings Set for Success at Renewable Energy World. People involved in the solar business can learn how to operate their business for success [...]

If you’ve been thinking about buying a new car this year, check out the top 5 hybrid cars gor 2008:

Virtually any biological matter has potential as a fuel source because carbon-based molecules can release energy. To this end, Hollywood depictions of automobiles running directly on trash (e.g., banana peels), such as those presented in “Back to the Future”, are not as fictional as we may think. Understanding the chemistry, developing technology, and establishing a [...]

I love the satire in this video on how many people feel at the pump: A common argument you will here from people against us blaming Saudi Arabia, Iraq, or a number of other countries for the high price of oil is that we import most of our oil from Canada. Yes, that is true, [...]
