It Would Be Nice to Have Solar Panels Right About Now |
| 6/2/2010 9:40:31 AM |
 I was on the phone with a friend who lives in Phoenix, Arizona last night. He mentioned how the weather had really been heating up and how meteorologists were predicting triple digit temperatures this weekend. I was sweating my face off this past Monday where I live and it was only in the 80s. Anything above 100-degrees is a tough pill to swallow. I’ve been to Arizona... Read More |

Solar Panels are Where Its At |
| 6/2/2010 9:37:34 AM |
Several weeks ago we noticed that it appeared as though our neighbors down the street were having solar panels added to their home and I couldn’t help but find myself a little curious about them. For a while, I’d been doing a little research online about the benefits of having solar panels and the benefits were outstanding. I loved the fact that it could slash our electric... Read More |

Looking at Going Green with New Hybrid Car |

 My wife and I are currently in the market to buy a new car, and this time we are looking at going green by shopping online and around town for some newer and greener hybrid and electric ‘going green’ cars. I have been actually quite shocked at how many car companies these days are going green, because there are actually, as I have been realizing during my online shopping,... Read More

Who Wouldn't Want Free Electricity? |
| 5/30/2010 7:53:18 AM |
I don’t know about you, but if someone offered me free electricity, I’d be the first person in line to take advantage of the offer. Have you noticed how much the price of electricity has risen in the past couple of years? My husband and I were talking about it the other day and also talking about how it would be great to have free electricity. After having the conversation... Read More |

Going Green by Clicking Buy |
| 5/27/2010 7:21:02 AM |
 Many aspects in how I live support the going green movement. There are the fluorescent light bulbs in the majority of our apartment light sockets, the low flush toilet, keeping the patio screen door open instead of running the air conditioner, skateboarding instead of driving and shopping online instead of adding to traffic in the city. The funny thing is that each one of... Read More |

Evolution of Oilrigs Needed After Another Oil Spill Destroys the Environment |
| 5/25/2010 12:43:51 PM |
 The world has turned their attention to alternative forms of energy but that has not lessened our need for oil. It is a natural resource that won’t last forever but there is still enough around to keep the world running for some time. I don’t think there has been another form of energy, other then oil that has wreaked so much havoc on our environment. There have been only... Read More |

We Should All Do Our Part to Help Stop Global Warming |
| 5/24/2010 6:20:38 AM |
It seems like everywhere you look in the media, someone is talking about global warming. It has been something that I’ve shown a great deal of interest in and the topic of conversation during dinner on more than one occasion in our household. It seems as though if we don’t do something to change global warming, the Earth we live on is serious trouble, which means that... Read More |

Solar Thermal Energy Rich in the Southwest |
| 5/18/2010 5:59:48 AM |
 Bar none, there is not a corner of the United States that sees more sun annually then the Southwest. The desert landscape, lack of tall vegetation and many rooftops is the perfect formula for capturing solar thermal energy. I lived in Arizona, traveled around the Southwest and have an intimate understanding of the desert being an outdoorsman. Speaking for Arizona, this is... Read More |

 This summer we are planning a working vacation by packing up the kids and heading to the beaches of Southern California where we plan to camp and set up our solar ovens during the day to solar cook. We cook just about everything using sunshine because the energy is free and is an incredibly effective way to cook and help the environment at the same time. This will be our... Read More |

For a while now I’ve been trying to find some outdoor lighting which includes solar panels so that I can have some great lighting for my back garden area with little to no cost of electricity. Originally, my husband and I looked at a low-voltage lighting set, which I really loved, but even though the voltage was low, I knew that it would still be costing us nightly to have... Read More |

Going green is seeping into our lives more and more |
| 5/6/2010 12:23:04 AM |
 I was reading an article recently that featured a couple who went door to door in their neighborhood and explained to their neighbors that they could get a great price on solar panels for their homes, if they purchased them now. The couple was going to install solar panels for their home and was trying to get a “bulk” price, if more neighbors ordered too at the same time.... Read More |

American Muscle Beginning to Use Green Technology |
| 5/5/2010 9:51:30 AM |
 A great achievement of the Obama administration as of yet has been the stimulus money that is making companies think about going green. I have been so surprised to see big American automakers step up to the plate and fight not only high gas prices but the hurt on the environment gas guzzlers can cause with new high mile per gallon technology. This kind change in the auto... Read More |

 I have really been getting a solid education on going green over the past few months, after talking to my older brother Adam, who actually saves tons of money each year on his electric bill because he uses solar panels that he had installed on his roof. I never knew that by having solar panels installed you could save that much money—after he told me that he nearly cut his... Read More

Solar Panels Sucking It Up |
| 4/27/2010 1:33:59 AM |
 This is the time of the year when solar panels really start to suck up all the UV rays shining down on the hotter regions of the country. From Las Vegas to Los Angeles over to Phoenix, the afternoons are getting a bit toasty. Nighttime is still nice and brisk at least in Southern California but the days leave all sorts of room for solar panels to create energy. It is... Read More |
