Alternative Energy Sources

Alternative energy sources hold the key towards the future, without them, our planet will eventually head into a blackout, or back to the Middle Ages.  Growing concern over the world's increasing energy needs and decreasing reserves of oil, gas, and uranium fuel have prompted efforts to develop alternative energy sources.  Because of the global problems there is a strong drive to use alternative energy sources, if they are renewable.  What do you think will happen if renewable alternative energy sources are not developed and used widely by the general public?

While energy surrounds us in all aspects of life, the ability to harness it and use it for constructive ends as economically as possible is the challenge before mankind.  Our primary energy sources today are fossil fuels, which are being depleted at an alarming rate.  Energy conservation plays an extremely important role in reducing unnecessary energy consumption.  Would you consider using an alternative energy source to power your car or heat your home?  As there are a myriad of alternative energy sources to choose from, a key question has become which are actually better alternatives to fossil fuel consumption.

The search for a means of power generation which is both green and sustainable has been ongoing for decades and with the advancements in engineering technology.  Although none of the options will ever be sufficient to replace fossil fuel usage on their own a combination of them working together shows that there are sources for our power requirements. 

Alternative power sources for home electricity such as solar energy, wind energy and water turbines have become increasingly popular because they can supply backup power in times of emergency to secure your family’s basic needs such as heat, water and refrigeration.  Solar power generation releases no water or air pollution, because there is no chemical reaction from the combustion of fuels.  Whereas there is a limited amount of oil, the power from the sun, wind, and other alternative energy sources is practically limitless.

Cleaner, cheaper, renewable fuel sources are the future of America’s energy program.  Exploring the use of renewable and alternative resources is a must in today's world.  Alternative or renewable energy, sources show significant promise in helping to reduce the amount of toxins that are by-products of energy use.  Once you have decided to invest in a renewable energy system, your next step is to learn about the options available to you.  Be sure to check out the many alternative energy resources and available products that we have provided on this site to best meet all of your energy needs.

Changing a light bulb seems like such a small thing but when you add up all the energy-saving light bulbs being installed all over the country, we're making BIG changes.
New Cold Cathode Dimmable and LED Bulbs
<img border="0" src="http://www.wattbusters.com/images/cathodeFT.gif" align="left" width="55" height="135" hspace="10" vspace="5">For all of the people who have searched for an energy-saving replacement bulb to use in dimmable chandelier fixtures, WattBusters finally has the ticket. We just acquired the <a href="http://www.wattbusters.com/store/customer/search.php?substring=cathode"> TCP cold cathode</a> line of light bulbs. The bulbs are excellent for dimming and rapid on/off cycling applications and they use either 3 or 5 Watts. Light output is roughly equivalent to 15 - 30 Watt incandescent bulbs. <br><br>The FlameTip series is a sharp looking bulb that comes in medium or candelabra base and has clear, frosted or white coatings. The bulbs dim very smoothly and are a great energy-saver for any multi-light chandelier. The rated life is 25,000 hours so you pretty much install them and forget them.
The Greening of the American Office
<img border="0" src="http://www.wattbusters.com/images/office01.gif" align="right" width="115" height="125" hspace="10" vspace="5"><b>Environmental Responsibility Doesn’t Stop at Home</b> <br><br>(ARA) – April 22nd marks the 35th anniversary of Earth Day -- and the good news is that more and more Americans are thinking of creative ways to recycle, reuse and be more environmentally conscious. But once you leave the confinements of “home sweet home,” what can you do from 9 to 5 to continue your “green” way of life?<br><br>Just like your house, most offices consume water, energy, paper and other products -- the result of which produces a deluge of waste. But the office furniture industry is a prime example of a market segment that is quietly, but effectively, converting its product designs and manufacturing technologies to have a more positive environmental impact -- partially in response to government programs, but also because consumers are demanding products that are gentler on the environment. The industry, in fact, is responding to the green phenomena in some amazing, highly creative ways.
EPA Announces 1200 Yard Golf Ball
<img border="0" src="http://www.wattbusters.com/images/golfball01.gif" align="left" width="88" height="125" hspace="10" vspace="5">If the EPA tested golf balls, would they whack it off the side of a mountain or along an ice-covered lake, measure the distance, set the average at 1200 yards and then state, "Your yardage may vary"? The testing methodology would clearly be suspect. It happens every day with cars. Have you ever noticed how the EPA's fuel economy 'estimates' differ from your real-world driving mileage? In many cases, they are not even close. Most of the time we don't give a hoot, but when gasoline prices start kicking up over $2/gallon we actually sit up and take notice.
