America needs to adapt...or will We fail?

Alternative Energy - Biologically friendly energy sources begin to emerge... mankind and the health of the World depend on Our efforts.

Thank you for visiting this site, it is devoted to developing the best public knowledge currently available on alternative energy sources. Designed as a place to describe the basics of alternative energy in detail and to allow individuals to readily advance their understanding of the complexities involved. Knowledge is power, and probably the only thing We possess that will save Us from Ourselves, especially when it comes to energy use in the 21st Century.

A detailed article on the subject of a 'National Energy Policy' has been developed, it is named, The Eleven Percent Solution and addresses the need to shift energy useage and investment in America. A second follow up article is called, "A National Energy Plan - Regional application of alternative energy sources". It describes which alternative energy sources would be best suited to the varing climatic regions of America. Then to complete the series, a World energy plan is found here.

For more information or to make a contribution about environmentally friendly energies and technologies, feel free to e-mail with any questions, tips, or et cetera. To dig for information Yourself, there is an archived database You can access here, and You can also look for specific reviews, summaries, and details below;

Sincerely, Mike

Quotes and Notes

The world's wind energy potential is 35 times the global energy demand.

If only 1% of the Sahara Desert was covered in solar panels, all the current electricity needs of the world would be satisfied…

Approx. $1,818.00 per American, per year and rising -
May 2008- “We are going to have to do something different in America. You can't keep paying out $600 billion a year for oil.” Oil billionaire T. Boone Pickens - planning 4,000 megawatt wind farm… Pickens Interview

U.S. must develop its own energy sources -
March 17, 2008 - Oil and gas prices continue to rise, driving up the costs of all goods in the U.S. OPEC refuses to increase supply, driving costs constantly higher. We must develop additional energy sources within the U.S., including ethanol, biodiesel, solar energy and wind and water power. We must produce our own energy and stop importing oil, while reducing fuel consumption, especially in vehicles. Our economy will benefit from new jobs created in renewable energy industries. We will reduce the danger of energy price exploitation from abroad. An oil embargo would ruin our economy.
