About Renewable Energy
Solar Power, Solar Lighting, Wind Energy,
Electric Cars, Hydrogen Powered Cars.
Take responsibility for our planet in crisis.
If you are replacing a roof on your house or even builing a new house
then install Solar Energy Panels (PV) instead. It will save you money
and cut around 325kg of carbon dioxide emissions per year. You'll probably
qualify for a grant too!
Clean, renewable energy is the only practical
way forward if humanity along with the entire planet is to survive the
next century. More than ever before, the need for clean, renewable alternatives
to fossil fuel is absolutely vital. And remember it's not just cars and
electricity we are talking about, fossil fuels and their by-products play
a significant role in every aspect of society. Even a large part of the
computer you are reading this web page from is manufactured from oil derivatives.
The use of fossil fuels and the destruction of forests are a major cause
of global warming. Oil and coal cannot be replenished and both minerals
are responsible for releasing huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere. Ancient forests that are destroyed to graze animals for meat,
or plant illegal crops, or else simply for the wood, are non-recoverable.
In the past, little thought has been reserved for what happens when depleting
earth-drawn supplies are no longer available to run appliances, transport,
towns and cities. It seems that as long as there is power today, a planet
tomorrow without it is of no consequence.
As an energy consumer, it's now time
for you to look at what clean, renewable energy solutions are available.
Some of these products and services can befound on these pages; Solar
powered interior and exterior lighting, solar water heating, wind power
and clean transport using alternative fuels such as hydrogen or bio fuel.
Every step you take to shop for clean
renewable energy alternatives helps to reduce the impact of global warming.
It may cost you more now, but in a few years you will be glad you began
to invest now in renewable energy.
Look around your home and think what you can replace with renewable energy.
In the back yard, solar powered lights make perfect sense. Solar panels
installed on your roof will provide you with plenty of hot water. For
city dwellers, a small, meter wide wind turbine unobtrusively placed on
your roof could provide enough energy to run a laptop computer, a TV,
lights and even a music system. Electric powered cars and scooters are
far more environmentally friendly than their fossil fuelled counterparts.
Here's a couple of tips to save energy:
Instead of driving 200 meters up the road to get your paper or groceries
... walk! It will do you - and the planet - a world of good!
Use a bicycle if making short journeys or even long-distance into cities.
Get on a train with your bike wherever you can and use a bicycle when
travelling around cities. You'll save a fortune!
