| 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 |

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 |

Free Electricity Making His Bank Account Greener |
| 4/14/2010 10:53:40 PM |
Not too long ago I was talking with someone who told me they were getting free electricity, but even better than that, they were also getting paid by the electric company for their electricity. I was dumbfounded to hear about this and then he explained to me exactly how he was doing his free electricity magic trick. He told me that his house in the country was ran by a... Read More |

Fluorescent Bulbs Almost Create Free Electricity |
| 4/5/2010 9:35:06 AM |
 Coming home the other night into our apartment complex I started to wonder how much electricity the complex goes through with all of the exterior lighting on when the sun goes down. The property manager here is very nice and I ended up running into her in the elevator the next day. With that question still on my mind I asked and she was quick to tell me that since all of...

Solar Cooking Is Like Using Free Electricity |
| 3/26/2010 3:03:10 PM |
 I would bet anything this photo was taken somewhere in Arizona because of the abundant sunshine and the turquoise sky. Of all the places in the US, this state is perfect for generating free electricity using solar panels and it can be done on a micro scale at home or a large scale like some of the public utilities are starting to do in the sunshine capitol of the US. It's... Read More |

| 3/5/2010 11:27:05 AM |
 It is that time of year again to pay Uncle Sam and look for a new place to live. With the lease up at our apartment in the coming weeks I’ve started browsing the classifieds and this Sunday will be driving around looking for, “For Rent” signs. Best case scenario, the three of us find a 3 bedroom house nearby. This is a great time to look because it seems like every... Read More |

Make Free Electricity While Working Out! |
| 2/10/2010 6:41:24 AM |
Did you know there are gyms that actually generate their own power? There is technology available the will take the energy created from an elliptical machine and recycle the free electricity back into the gym to run the lights and such. Isn't that crazy! I think it's pretty cool and why not? It is a great "going green" idea that is ready to come front and... Read More |

Using Bubble Wrapped Windows for Going Greener This Winter |
| 2/4/2010 10:04:21 AM |
 Last weekend I was watching a TV show about innovations in solar energy and learned that there is a company who is making solar balloons that are inexpensive and generate a kilowatt of electricity. I thought that was such a good idea for generating free electricity. They are not going to sell these to the public, however, so it's back to the drawing board for we at home to... Read More |

California Weighing Benefits of Solar Panels |
| 2/3/2010 11:27:09 PM |
 On the surface, the idea of adding solar panels to all structures soaked with sun seems like a no brainer. But for some there has been questions on how valuable solar PV power actually is. I don’t understand how someone could find any negatives with power from the sun. The initial cost can be expensive but in states like California, there are huge tax credits for people... Read More |

Last Step to Going Green Before Holiday Travel |
| 12/20/2009 10:45:09 AM |
 Well it is that time of year again. I have to say this is probably the busiest few days for travel in the country. A few of my friends have already hit the airport, I’m getting a couple things done then leaving and my roommates are on their way soon. Since we will all be gone for at least a week, I am doing the last couple things around here to save on electricity. Sadly,... Read More |

It is possible to workout at the gym and power it with free electricity at the same time! There is a company right now that is making this possible. It all has to do with energy-generating equipment. The premise is to use the power generated by the gym members while they use the treadmill, bikes or elliptical machines. This company will harness that energy and put free... Read More |

Going Green with Solar Panels Can Help Resale Value of Homes |

 Although the real estate market has slowed dramatically in recent years, people who bought homes that have solar panels or are LEEDS certified (LEEDS certification means that the home has met high standards for energy efficiency) have been caught up in as much price depreciation as others who bought ordinary homes. Homes and buildings that generate their own free... Read More |

Schooled on How to Get Free Electricity |
| 9/3/2009 12:48:47 PM |
 Until talking to family friends who have been proponents of solar panels since the mid 80’s I never knew that they actually get free electricity for the majority of summer because of their two decade old upgrade. Better then that the local power company pays them when the sun shines for weeks on end because they generate a surplus of energy. In other words a few times a... Read More |
