Renewable Energy Sources


There are several practical ways that you can harness alternative energy resources for your home and vehicle which will reduce your monthly household budget while helping to save and restore our planet:

Solar Energy can be used for heating water and generating electricity for your home as well as concentrating the Solar Energy to create fuel for your vehicles.

In addition to the financial savings by reducing your consumption of traditional electricity, there are rebates and tax credits offered through the government for using Solar Energy . These rebates can be used to offset the cost of the installation when you implement solar energy as a source of power. You could receive as high as a 50% rebate for the solar panels while increasing your property value.

Biomass Energy is created when you use corn, corn stalks, wheat, pine cones, twigs,or bark to generate fuel to heat your home or drive your vehicle. This technology has existed for over 100 years but unfortunately has not been used on a large scale.

Basically, anything that decomposes or burns can be used to generate energy for your house or car. You can drive on Ethanol or produce your own bio-diesel fuel or methane, or you could run a vehicle on all three.

Wind Energy is another source of alternative energy and is one of the more popular alternative energy resources. Though not a reliable resource for every household, it is a viable option for many depending on your location. If you have at least one acre with an open area consisting of a 500 feet radius, this source could work well for you. You will need to compare the advantages and disadvantages of wind energy to see if it will be an asset for your energy needs.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. H2O. It is possible to create HHO in your own electrolysis unit for your vehicle and increase your gas mileage 20 - 50% or more. This could be done for less than $100?

Other Alternative Energy Sources are Hydro-power Energy and Geothermal Energy.
