Martin Johnstone asked:
Society as a whole is submerged… submerged within the depths of marketing campaigns run by corporate giants? This is a question that anyone could ask and anytime it is asked, could unveil a certain degree of truth in anyone’s life “How did the community – the society arrive at where it is at now?”. The energy industry is filled with giants dictating (could you say dictating? how you ever found out for yourself?) what energies are consumed by the general populace.
If you look to see at how products have become popular, you may find it has been through TV, advertising, celebrities – many of which are endorsed by large corporate organizations and carry along with their ads, the message of these corporations. Thus, you are looking at a large fabric through which many of us look, squint or even peer through to see what is actually available to us in almost any commercial market.
In addition, the current fuels which in general use have relatively high and dangerous waste products. Thus, the information could be said to not be widely known by the general populace as when informed, make better decisions. And so we could say, perhaps ignorance is the path to domination by a few and a dark destiny. If you have any questions and would rather not know, don’t take heed the claims of global warming, increased volatility of weather conditions and/or a Mother Earth’s cry for help.
Although, now with the Internet, many new markets, pockets of clique’s, interest groups, etc… have evolved and are evolving allowing for products to be sold which were not before, services to be offered and the demand filled. It is true that now more millionaires have been made than ever before and many of which have come from the Internet.
Apart of this evolution, new information comes to light such as that which has been found with such things as Hydrogen fuels. Most fuels which are seen on the market currently are centralized and controlled under corporate blankets. If you look at petroleum or nearly any current technology used in mass production of general energy consumption (for example the energy that arrives to your house comes from large plants – centralized – the gas from your car comes from large plants – centralized, etc…, etc…) you will find is centralized and controlled by large corporate structures. But along with these new emerging groups are the green energy groups.
Alternate fuels keep punching away at the headlines of magazines and newspapers (possibly filled with propaganda?) about these various fuels. But, the repetition and noise generated by these green energy groups can but help being heard as the news is ground breaking and shaking it as well.
One of these groups is that has been forming at an incredibly rapid rate is the Hydrogen from water groups. These guys are using water and a basic form of electrolysis (use of electricity such as that which comes from you car battery to electrify water and perform a chemical reaction) to create Hydrogen from ordinary water. This technology has existed since 1820 but also with additional new technologies which have come about, this process is now available to anyone.
Hydrogen is also known as a comparable to gasoline as it is 3X’s as explosive and converts back to water when combusted. Why hasn’t it been in use in vehicles already? (If the answer is not apparent, pleas re-read earlier paragraphs and find out for yourself)
The ease of use and availability of the parts to make hydrogen from water has lead many people from the world to take part. The hydrogen’s most popular use has been to supplement car’s gasoline in-take.
Hydrogen use with car installations as a gas supplement is really only the beginning of the use of hydrogen power as 1 jar of water (approx 6 ounces) will convert to large amounts of hydrogen (as water is basically a “compressed” form of hydrogen) and can be used to power houses, RVs running them for weeks.
The proportions may seem fantastic but when you take into account the fact that HHO (hydroxy) when combusted, turns back to water, you have a fuel which has tremendous potential for efficiency, longevity and cost savings due to the fact is this planet’s largest resource available as a free burning energy.
Anyone who does a simple search with Google on the Internet with HHO, hydroxy, HHO generator or any of the such will find thousands upon thousands of documents representing the growing numbers of people across the world who are taking part of this emerging group across the net which is now extending it’s fabric through to local communities and allowing for a greener planet by cutting out pollutants, cutting down on the need for gasoline, improving gas mileage and a myriad of other eco-friendly solutions to normal day living.
So, count your pennies a little less, take hit and punch through a bit of this fabric which has perhaps been paid out in front of your eyes by the blankets of corporate marketing campaigns. Do a search on the net, check out the afore mentioned sites and see, perhaps it is true that you don’t have to spend so much gas or be in the dark on alternative energies.

Darren Craddock asked:
Many people are not yet aware that there is a type of nutritional supplement called a super green food that can help prevent disease and reverse the signs of aging. It is comprised of whole foods direct from nature that can actually help conquer cancer, nerve damage, diabetes, heart disease, irritable bowel syndrome, clinical depression, as well as provide all the nourishment your body needs to stay healthy and strong – for life. If you want to boost your immune system, energy levels and brain power taking a super green whole food supplement every day can help.
Not your typical pond scum
Most super green foods contain blue green algaes called micro-algae, since they are microscopic forms of freshwater algae. Both chlorella and Spirulina are microscopic plants that grow in fresh water and contain a plethora of nutrition. They’ve been around for quite some time now: nearly a few billion years. even though these are some of the earliest and simplest life forms on the planet, they appear to have every form of nutrition the human body needs to survive.
These micro-algae contain an astounding array of abundant supply of nutritional elements: vitamins, macrominerals, trace minerals, essential fatty acids, protein, nucleic acids, micro nutrients, chlorophyll, and a vast spectrum of phytochemicals. In fact a person could literally live off these micro-algae and nothing else. They make the perfect whole food supplement because are so nutritionally dense.
Bigger is not always better
These super foods range in size from 2 to 8 microns, which is about the same size as a human blood cell. They appear green due to their high chlorophyll content. Harvesting these nutrients form the algae requires special centrifuge equipment, which is one reason why people don’t grow their own micro-algae for individual consumption. Most of these super foods are grown in vast water farms located in parts of the world where the climate is warm and sunny.
Chlorella and Spirulina, two of the main ingredients in most super green foods, contain zero refined carbohydrates; they are high in digestible protein, high in chlorophyll, high in essential fatty acids and have no “bad” fats.
Kelp is a type of seaweed that is a rich source of vitamins, especially the B Vitamins, as well as of many important minerals. Studies have shown that it can be beneficial to brain tissue and the membranes surrounding the brain. You need specific nutrition to support the function of the sensory nerves, and the spinal cord as well as the nails and blood vessels. Kelp can provide this nutrition. It has been used in the treatment of under active thyroid problems because of its iodine content, and is useful for other conditions such as hair loss, obesity and ulcers.
Many health practitioners recommend a daily green food supplement, especially for people with mineral deficiencies or mood disorders. My favorite super green food is Enerfood which you can read more about at ener health botanicals website. It has a mild pleasant taste and a quick boost.
Tryany super green whole food supplement like Enerfood, every day for week. One tablespoon in a glass of juice is all it takes. They are also cost effective. Taking a tablespoon of super green energy food, costs less than a typical fistful of vitamins.

John Mowatt asked:
Electricity produced by wind turbines is green power in that it causes no environmental pollution. No greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change are produced either. Wind power generation can be on a large scale,which is the case with most commercial projects,or on a small scale as with home owner turbines.
Wind is the cheapest form of renewable energy without a doubt. Solar energy is also clean,green,power but is more expensive and limited in output. Solar panels are presently expensive in relation to the power they can produce. Nuclear energy supplies a lot of the power requirements in some countries,notably in Europe.
There is however much public opposition to building new nuclear power plants.
In the USA natural gas is the biggest form of new energy production. Wind power is the next in line. In 2008 wind turbines will produce about 1% of the United States power needs. Around 30% of new energy production installed in 2007 was wind power.
Many consumers now realise that green energy must be our highest priority in future,if we are to minimise climate change and it effects. The trend to building fossil fuel powered generating stations must be reversed.
Home owners and farmers can help with the transition to clean power by installing small wind turbines to supply all or part of their electricity needs. These turbines can be purchased from a number of manufacturers and can be installed as a rooftop wind turbine or on a small free standing tower.
Commercial wind turbines are quite expensive in relation to power output. A better solution for many is to build their own low cost wind turbine. A good turbine can be built from auto parts and a few odds and ends at very low cost. Plans and instructions are available for this project.
Any excess power production can be sold to the power utility in many areas thus reducing the cost even further. Power can also be stored in batteries for use when the wind is too light. Even a light breeze will however produce power.
The average home owner can easily build a small wind turbine or several of them to supply part or all of the power required. All that is needed is simple tools and some auto parts and wood. Several can be built for the cost of one commercial wind turbine.
Not a bad business also for anyone who wants to make them for resale. The demand for a low cost turbine is there and can only grow in years ahead.
Why not build your own wind power turbine now and produce your own free green electricity. You will be doing mother earth a favor by reducing atmospheric pollution. This is an idea whose time has come.

Andrew Regan asked:
Iowa, nicked named the Tall Corn State on account of its most common crop, is a medium sized state situated in the Midwestern region of the USA. The state is an unlikely leader in green fuel; it is the largest producer of ethanol, a major producer of biodiesel (manufacturing more than 15 million gallons per year from its two biodiesel plants) and boasts the 3rd largest wind powder economy in America.
However, despite being a leader in the production of renewable energies and fuel, the state has lagged behind in using them, although the Iowa state government currently uses Biodiesel in two of its Department of Transportation fleets. To help increase renewable energy uptake proposals have been recently made to quadruple the use of renewable fuels over the next decade and Iowa is hoping that their new legislation will form a model for which other states will follow.
The proposal will require Iowa petrol retailers to sell a minimum percentage of renewable fuels; ethanol blends such as E10 and E85 would also count towards the quota. The schedule would require minimum renewable fuel sales of 10% by 2008, 15% by 2010, 20% by 2012, and 25% by 2015. Currently, Iowans can purchase biodiesel and ethanol blends from more than 150 locations across the state and this is predicted to rise.
Biodiesel has been hailed as a wonder fuel; it’s a blend of soy oil and diesel fuel that can significantly reduce air emission without comprising vehicle performance. Some blends can even be used without any engine modification. The fuel is renewable, biodegradable and cleaner burning compared to regular petrol or diesel. It also has the highest energy balance of any “green fuel” – i.e. for every one unit of fossil-fuel energy needed to produce biodiesel, 3.2 units of energy are gained.
Ethanol is another fuel which is having a big impact on reducing the dependence on foreign oil imports. All new cars being built in the US are required to have engines that can run on 10% Ethanol blended fuel without any further modification. The fuel is a proven octane enhancer which can be used to replace lead and other toxic compounds in gasoline, and is also an ideal fuel for use in small engines too, such as lawn mowers, chainsaws, snowmobiles and outboard motors.
In the future it’s hoped that homes, schools and hotels in Des Moines and other large settlements across Iowa could be powered completely by renewable fuels, which would make Iowa a trailblazer in the world of green energy which other states could then follow.
In addition to its environmental benefits, the positive economic impact of ethanol fuels is huge, both at a state and nationwide level. The ethanol industry provides more than 27,205 jobs, and generates $156 million in farm income in Iowa alone, and the scope for growth in the industry is massive.
Iowa’s green credentials are admirable, and environmentalists across the States and the wider world hope that others will follow this Midwestern state’s eco-friendly lead.

Max Loodlin asked:
Going green can do wonders for the environment, but can it actually earn you cash? Yes, it is very easy to save cash as well as earn it just by going green.
But what exactly does going green involve? Going green basically entails making your own natural energy source. This means that you will be producing your own form of energy rather than having to pay the utility company every month. You could either build a solar panel or wind generator as your source of green energy. Both will warrant amazing results.
I know what you are thinking. Solar panel? Wind generator? Seems to me like spend a thousand dollars, and then spend a few more thousand dollars. This is where many people get caught up in the whole process of going green. They associate what they have seen in the media with what they are trying to accomplish. The truth is, you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on a professionally installed solar panel or wind generator. You can build them yourself, and you can do it for about $50.
Making your own natural energy source will prove to be just as effective as any professional instalation could ever be. You just need to know where to look as far as a guide for building a natural energy generator.
In the end going green is well worth it. Within a month you will be saving 80% on your energy bill, and if you play your cards right you could start earning money from your utility company. They will pay you if you are producing more energy than you are using. Once you get your natural energy system up and running the benefits will start rolling in. You will have yourself an automated revenue stream in no time!
Go green now, you will not regret it.
