In 1970 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was born. The United States had been bombarded with businesses and industries who knew nothing about the long-term effects of pollution. Meaning, air, water and land pollution caused by discharges from these businesses and industries were running rampant. Lakes were bursting into flames due to harmful chemicals... Read More
This morning I read a Los Angeles Times article which shed some light on politicians who came together to talk about Global Warming and its effect on America’s national parks. What surprised me the most was hardliner republicans like Senator John McCain explained his worry about Global Warming. In a quote, directly from the LA Times article McCain said this about Global...

TSMC's CEO Morris Chang, who founded the company in 1987, retook the helm this past June as the company saw its quarterly profits drop for the third quarter in a row. TMSC... Read More
I recently returned from a solar cooking demonstration. I have been using solar panels for cooking for ten years now and decided last summer to take an activist role in helping people with going green by using sunshine to cook their food. I have found that children are incredibly interested in solar cooking. We had parents lift their two and three year olds up so they... Read More
I remember my mother telling me years and years ago that one day every home would have solar panels. One year at the fair they had a house that was designed to use solar thermal energy only. It was energy independent. There was talk about it being able to produce more energy than was needed to run the home. The extra energy could actually be stored or sold. The... Read More
Solar thermal energy has many powerful applications in the world. In fact, there is a solar thermal energy plant south of Las Vegas that generates 64 megawatts. It's called Nevada Solar One. It is located on Highway 95 just south of Boulder City. It covers 300 acres and has 760 mirror arrays that are 100 meters across. We got to see them in action on a trip home from Las... Read More
The idea of solar panels attracts me for a few reasons. The first is obvious and that is free electricity. The second is the idea of going green. And the third is having the ability to keep lights on all night, not having to worry about all of the stagnate electricity usage from idling computers, stereos or TVs. It would be nice to leave the lights on when leaving home as... Read More
The environment is a big issue for people who like to look at the big picture. It is easy to brush the importance of saving water in Southern California or the Southwest under the rug when news of how the recession is hurting American families fills the media. I’m sure many people like myself are interested in cheap sometimes free steps to going green while at home. I did... Read More
Global warming is no newer an idea then solar panels. For the past few decades, the American people along with world partners have known that our climate is naturally changing. We have known many of our industrial and everyday practices are helping to speed up the process. Hopping into a discussion about Global Warming is about as safe as talking politics over dinner with... Read More
The time could not be better for thinking about going green. There are so many energy tax rebates being offered to individuals right now so that they can start reducing their carbon footprints and slowing global warming. In the unlikely event that global warming is just an anomoly, consuming less electricity and fossil fuels just makes sense for most famillies and... Read More
Last weekend I visited my friend who lives completely off the grid in a remote mountain canyon. She showed me her solar panels and all her batteries. She keeps the batteries in a shed off her home, and it is so impressive. She uses wood to heat the house in the winter, solar ovens and cookers to cook her food, and propane as a backup when the sun doesn't shine. It's the... Read More
