The Queen of England is planning to cut energy bills at Buckingham Palace for centuries to come by creating an underground network to extract heat from the earth’s natural warmth. The pipes containing water and a refrigerant chemical will run from the palace to the 4 acre lake in the grounds. As the water runs through the coiled loops of pipe placed on the bed of the lake it is warmed to a .. more …
Bloomberg Television’s Gigi Stone talks about companies like GE and Tata leading a geothermal energy investment boom in Indonesia.
Geothermal energy’s reputation took a blow today after it was revealed two taxpayer-backed clean energy companies are facing serious financial difficulties. USA Today reports on the plight of Raser Technologies and Nevada Geothermal Power (NGP), both of which specialize in capturing heat from the earth and converting it to electricity.Both firms received a total of $195 million in partial federal .. more …
If you want to start generating power from a green energy source, which do you use? There are many different types of green energy now available, and it can be quite difficult to know which is the most suitable for you. One of the most popular types of green energy comes from solar panels, so how does this compare to other types of green energy? Constant Source of Energy When you generate your .. more …
If the question of what is geothermal energy? has arisen then you are not the first to have considered it. It’s now being though about by many people as a good way to replace current inefficient methods we use a lot. This will heighten in importance as the years pass and other forms become more scarce.It is something that has been used for many years all over the world for a variety of purposes .. more …

As Remi Wilkinson, Senior researcher with Carbon Free, puts it, inevitably, the growth of distributed generation will lead to the restructuring of the retail electricity market and the generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure. The power suppliers may have to diversify their business to make up for cash lost thru household energy microgeneration. She’s referring to the conclusions .. more …
There is a lot of energy that we can harness if we only seek to research and develop the technologies needed to do so. We can get away from the fossil fuels and the old electrical grids by turning to alternatives to these energy sources. One of these alternative energy resources is wind power. Wind turbines continue to be developed that are progressively more energy effective and less expensive. .. more …
