Green energy is the term used to describe sources of energy that are considered to be environmentally friendly and non-polluting, such as geothermal, wind, solar, and hydro. Sometimes nuclear power is also considered a green energy source.Green energy sources are often considered “green” because they are perceived to lower carbon emissions and create less pollution. Green energy is commonly thought of in the context of electricity generation. A fuller picture requires appreciation of efficient energy use as well as mechanical power, heating and cogeneration. Consumers, businesses, and organizations may purchase green energy to support further development, help reduce the environmental impacts of conventional electricity generation, and increase their nations energy independence. Renewable energy certificates (green certificates or green tags) have been one way for consumers and businesses to support green energy.

Solar Energy – The Future is Now


biobum.com Learn how to make your own renewable energy. Don’t pay the electricity company, make the electricity company pay you. Get started for under 0 visit biobum.com for more info :) Blogging effectively using natural resources (sunlight & wind) The future of energy is Solar and Wind. Here is a short video of some solar energy farms around the world. Enjoy Solar Energy is energy from the Sun. This energy drives the climate and weather and supports virtually all life on Earth. Heat and light from the sun, along with solar-based resources such as wind and wave power, hydroelectricity and biomass, account for most of the available flow of renewable energy. Solar energy technologies harness the sun’s energy for practical ends. These technologies date from the time of the early Greeks, Native Americans and Chinese, who warmed their buildings by orienting them toward the sun. Modern solar technologies provide heating, lighting, electricity and even flight. Solar power is used synonymously with solar energy or more specifically to refer to the conversion of sunlight into electricity. This can be done either through the photovoltaic effect or by heating a transfer fluid to produce steam to run a generator. Solar photovoltaics provide 0.04% of the world’s energy usage. There are many technologies for harnessing solar energy. Applications span through the residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural and transportation sectors. Solar energy can be used to produce food

EnviroMission Limited (www.enviromission.com.au) produced this 5 minute video on the pilot plant in Spain. It is an older video (2000) but gives a decent understanding of the solar tower concept. EnviroMission, Ltd. (US Market: EVOMY, Australian Exchange: EVM) is a renewable energy developer of sustainable “green” energy solutions for the energy market. EnviroMission aims to be one of Australia’s leading producers of clean renewable energy. EnviroMission holds the proprietary rights to Solar Tower technology, a large-scale renewable energy technology based on simple fundamentals of physics — hot air rises. Solar Tower technology has the potential to offer competitive renewable energy with equal reliability to fossil fuel generators. A single 200MW Solar Tower power station will provide enough electricity to power around 400000 households. The energy output will represent an annual saving of more than 1960000 tonnes of greenhouse CO2 gases from entering the environment when compared to brown coal emissions in Victoria. The greenhouse savings equate to the removal of approximately 500000 cars from the road. The Australian Solar Tower project consists of six distinct phases, the first two of which (project optimization and pre-feasibility commercialization) have already been completed. The third phase (final feasibility), paving the way for the implementation of the next three phases (final design, construction, and commercial operation).

Green Energy Ohio Promotional Video


Copyright 2009 Media Magic Productions, LLC. This is a Pro Bono promotional video project for Green Energy Ohio, based in Columbus. It was spearheaded by our 2009 summer interns, Rebecca Moisio (scriptwriter/producer) and Cory Sage (videographer/editor). The project was planned and coordinated by Rebecca and Cory- Cheryl Dickson-Walker supervised as Executive Director and David Walker served as Director of Photography. The voiceover work was donated by David Bucci. After the completion of their internship, Dave and Cheryl completed the finishing work on the video, creating the graphics and animation, and polishing the audio and video editing.
