It is no doubt that most citizens are bothered by the problem of huge energy cost every month. And all of us know clearly that without energy, we can barely live a single day! Is there a perfect way to solve our problems? Mr. Michael Harvey helps us find a way in his wonderful e-book—Earth 4 Energy.
Earth 4 Energy is a thorough e-book which will help you to build up your energy system step-by-step by your own hands and in your own way!
With the rapid spread of the wave of renewable energy, there appear various books that introduce how to set up an energy device. However, undoubtedly, Earth 4 Energy is the best choice. Not only because it proved itself on the market in the first place, but also it has far more detailed information than its competitors as well as great reputation in the alternative world.
With simple and doable instruction, massive explanation of photos, illustrations and diagrams plus an assistant video containing the whole process, you are able to DIY a solar panels or wind turbine as your wish. Furthermore, Earth 4 Energy has fine service afterwards. You can send e-mails whenever you come across with problems in making the device, and will get satisfied answers in short time. In addition, you can sign up to attend the forum to communicate with other guests.
How beautiful! Giving only $49.97, you will install an energy system, cut your high energy price and protect the environment! You get three birds with one stone! What a bargain!
So don’t hesitate, go and get a copy of Earth 4 Energy! Download Click here

EnviroMission Limited (www.enviromission.com.au) produced this 5 minute video on the pilot plant in Spain. It is an older video (2000) but gives a decent understanding of the solar tower concept.

EnviroMission, Ltd. (US Market: EVOMY, Australian Exchange: EVM) is a renewable energy developer of sustainable “green” energy solutions for the energy market. EnviroMission aims to be one of Australia’s leading producers of clean renewable energy. EnviroMission holds the proprietary rights to Solar Tower technology, a large-scale renewable energy technology based on simple fundamentals of physics — hot air rises. Solar Tower technology has the potential to offer competitive renewable energy with equal reliability to fossil fuel generators.

A single 200MW Solar Tower power station will provide enough electricity to power around 400,000 households. The energy output will represent an annual saving of more than 1,960,000 tonnes of greenhouse CO2 gases from entering the environment when compared to brown coal emissions in Victoria. The greenhouse savings equate to the removal of approximately 500,000 cars from the road. The Australian Solar Tower project consists of six distinct phases, the first two of which (project optimization and pre-feasibility commercialization) have already been completed. The third phase (final feasibility), paving the way for the implementation of the next three phases (final design, construction, and commercial operation).

The extraction and use of geothermal energy was once associated with projects on an industrial scale, but over the last few years, geothermal energy has begun a significant shift to the commercial and residential markets.

Geothermal power plants were the basis of geothermal technology, harnessing energy from deep within the earth’s crust, on a very efficient scale.

Nowadays, geothermal energy is extracted in different ways, and an ever growing popular method of this is through the use of a geothermal heating, or hot water system.

Around the world (especially in countries such as Iceland, Norway, and Sweden), geothermal energy for the home is becoming a very popular method of providing very cheap, environmentally friendly hot water, through the use of geothermal piping systems linked to energy efficient boilers.

The idea of these geothermal boilers, is that they run pipes for hundreds of meters under an area of land (this could be your garden), which are then pumped with cold water from end, and by the time the water has reached the end of the pipes, it is significantly warmer than the start temperature. This enables your geothermal boiler to use less energy when heating this water, as it is already close to the temperature you require.

The savings you can make by installing a geothermal system are proven to pay off over time (just like the idea of installing double glazing), and many new builds are installing this type of renewable energy technology.

The same method of this geothermal energy is increasingly used in homes and businesses through the form of underfloor heating. This heats your home to a certain degree and can help reduce on heating bills.

Not only do you save on your average heating or electricity bill, you know you are doing something for the environment. The land you sit on contains allot more heat than you may think, so why not consider looking into this natural energy, and see if a geothermal system could work for you.
