Wind Power Grows Massively In US in 2006

Much of the discussion of renewable energy sounds great, but what are the practical numbers? Well, wind power started to show tangible results in 2006 in the US.


Wind power is simply the harvesting of the wind currents to create energy for our electrical needs. Wind power is really a form of solar energy. Wind is created by the sun heating up surfaces on the earth at different rates. The hot air rises and cool air rushes in to fill the gap, thus creating win.


In 2006, the use of wind power as an energy platform grew by over 25 percent in the United States. The total megawatts now produced by wind power equate to more than 11,000. One megawatt of energy

Detroit’s Big 3 Calls For Government’s Aid

This year s opening round of congressional hearings regarding global warming and alternative fuels has been bombarded with a bunch of controversial issues. Detroit s Big 3 composed of GM, Ford Motor Co. and DaimlerChrysler AG, asked Congress to increase the fund allocated for alternative fuels research and other advances in automotive technology to limit America s dependence on foreign oil.


The Big 3 was disappointed because its request for $500 million in federal funds over 5 years for research into advanced batteries was not mentioned during the State of the Union. It is not likely to be part of the president’s budget request scheduled to be announced Monday.

Fuel Efficient Cars At The Geneva Auto Show

The current biggest issue in the automotive industry is how to produce vehicles which will help in the protection of the environment. Global warming is an issue that has to be addressed immediately and car makers are joining the fray to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases being produced by vehicles. Hybrid cars, flex-fuel vehicles, and fuel cell powered vehicles - these are just some of the technologies being developed by auto makers in an effort to decrease the dependency on the non-renewable source of energy that is the fossil fuel.

New Electric Car Charger Cuts Down Recharging Time

Hybrid vehicles have become increasingly popular in the U.S. since Toyota launched the Prius some time ago. The skyrocketing price of gasoline has driven American car buyers to opt for these fuel efficient vehicles which can run as much as 50 miles on a single gallon of gasoline.


In response to the demand for hybrid vehicles, car manufacturers are looking for ways to add another feature to the already fuel efficient hybrid vehicle. The plug-in technology has already been knocking on the doors of the auto industry. This technology allows hybrid cars to be recharged from an ordinary household socket. This means that the battery pack integrated into the car to power the electric motor can be conveniently
