Biofuel is hot news, and is fuel in the form of a liquid, a solid or a gas that is derived from recently dead biological material as opposed to fossil fuel, which comes from very old dead biological material.

Another alternative fuel is wind power. The principle application of wind power is to generate electricity. Most turbines are three- bladed and can be seen around the world in various places. I pass a dozen or so when visiting my children in Cornwall in the UK. Large scale wind farms are connected to electrical grids. Single turbines can provide electricity to isolated locations. In the case of windmills, wind energy is used directly as mechanical energy for pumping water or grinding grain.

There are other forms of alternative energy and I find the whole subject fascinating. Information about alternative energy on this site is updated hourly, so if you are interested in the subject of alternative energy in general, please bookmark this site so you can visit often. I hope you find it useful.

Stuck On NothingStuck On Nothing

FRONTMAN PAUL SPRANGERS (think: young Mick Jagger / Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie's love child) and guitarist SCOTT WELLS formed FREE ENERGY, after the breakup of Minnesota indie band Hockey Night. Now based in Philadelphia, Free Energy take the blithe, hooky classic rock of groups Thin Lizzy, Cheap Trick, and Tom Petty, as their jumping-off point, as well as contemporaries such as The Strokes, Kings Of Leon, and Wolfmother. DFA honcho and LCD SOUNDSYSTEM frontman JAMES MURPHY produced the album and played bass on it, while PAT MAHONEY (drummer of LCD Soundsystem) played drums. The album evokes earlier musical eras, blending big sounds with snippets of glam, power pop, bubblegum and arena rock. The tracks on the album are propelled by cowbell and carbonated guitars, mixing vintage with the contemporary for an all around feel good record with sing along hooks that can't be beat! The band on James Murphy: "he (James Murphy) was able to translate our little blueprints into 3D Technicolor".


Self-Healing with Sound and MusicSelf-Healing with Sound and Music

Sound therapy has been found effective in treating a surprising range of health challenges including heart disease, arthritis, stress, emphysema, and more. On Self-Healing with Sound and Music, bestselling author and physician Dr. Andrew Weil teams up with sound therapist Kimba Arem to offer listeners a powerful new tool for healing on two CDs.

On CD 1, Dr. Weil discusses the latest in medical research that demonstrates how music heals the body and mind. CD 2 gives listeners a complete "sound journey" into expanded states of consciousness optimized for healing. Through an integration of binaural beats, natural sounds, indigenous and classical instruments – and a state-of-the-art recording process called "holophonic technology" that creates a three-dimensional healing space – listeners experience "prescription strength music" with the power to influence every system of the body.

Qigong: Traditional Chinese Exercises for Healing Body, Mind, and Spirit [VHS]Qigong: Traditional Chinese Exercises for Healing Body, Mind, and Spirit [VHS]

Qigong is Chinese meditation in motion, an ancient healing art using posture, exercise, breathing, and concentration. This video shows you how to harness the power of qi--the energy of the universe--to heal body and mind. Qigong uses dynamic, gentle movements and meditative postures. The video starts with a warm-up of whole-body breathing. Then master instructor Ken Cohen teaches a selection of exercise sets to cleanse the body, recharge it with fresh qi, circulate qi where it is needed, and disperse stagnant areas. He also teaches a series of healing sounds and techniques of standing meditation and walking meditation, along with posture and self-massage. This is a fine introduction to qigong, with many months of learning in this one 90-minute video. The setting is outdoors and seems Asian, with rocks, greenery, and a wooden bridge. Informational booklet included. --Joan Price

Gaia Selene - Saving the Earth by Colonizing the MoonGaia Selene - Saving the Earth by Colonizing the Moon

There are two and a half ways to save the earth and two of them are on the moon.

Earth Scientists, space scientists, futurists and visionaries elucidate the challenges facing us as a species and threatening our home planet.

Emmy Award Winning Producer/Director Charles Proser presents a new documentary on the exciting New Frontier and the future of "Homo Spaciens".

This new work, for the first time, expresses clear solutions to the crises facing us.

How will we feed, house and employ ten billion humans by the year 2050?

What happens when the oil runs out?

The threats of nuclear fission.

Our effect on the environment, the health of the planet and our fellow creatures.

By 2050 we will need three times as much power and it will have to be three times as clean. There is no earthly technology capable of coming on line by the year 2050 that can solve our energy problem.

But don't worry.

We've developed Space Techology.... a way to turn a cosmic threat into an asset. When we learn what we need to, to colonize the moon, we will be able to use that knowledge to protect our home planet.

Space Solar Power is clean, renewable, and could replace polluting fossil fuel plants.

Lunar Solar collectors built of lunar material will microwave power to earth.

Power from Moondust. Four tons of 3Helium could power the U.S. for a year in Fusion Reactors and would be worth 8 Billion Dollars.

How we will live and work on the moon.

What it will be like to fly in lunar gravity.

Why we will live in lavatubes under the surface.

Why the Moon is a stepping stone to the Solar System, to nearby Stars, to the Future.

Learn Sun Power:(DVD) How to Set up Batteries, Inverter, Charge Controller, and Panels for a Complete Off-grid Solar Energy SystemLearn Sun Power:(DVD) How to Set up Batteries, Inverter, Charge Controller, and Panels for a Complete Off-grid Solar Energy System

If you want to put together a solar power system yourself this DVD is for you. Although it covers an off-grid system it is just as helpful for someone who wants to be partially on grid but would rather set up the system themselves. This is not an overview but rather programmed instruction. This DVD shows, step-by-step, how a 650-watt, off-grid, do-it-yourself solar-panel system was set up. The system partially replaced a 2-gallon-a-day gasoline-driven generator system and was estimated to pay for itself (based on the price of gas) in about 2-3 years. Starting from the ground up, it explains the importance of grounding and explains how to ground your system as you go along. Topics include: How to calculate you overall energy needs and how to reconcile them with what you have space for and what you can afford. Solar panel math is explained simply so that you can calculate your needs in terms of: batteries, inverters, panels and wiring. How to re-evaluate and reshape your energy usage to fit what you can realistically afford with solar. Choosing inverters and charge controllers. Safety issues. What wire to use and why. How to set up your battery and inverter system first, and test them as a working unit before adding solar. What to consider when choosing solar panels. The difference between setting up panels and batteries in series or parallel. Using a combiner box to add additional panels later. Choosing a generator for backup and how-to equalize your batteries. How to test the specific gravity of your batteries. How to wire your panels. Lightning grounding. As well as system layout, washing your panels once they are setup, etc. The focus here is an easy to understand explanation of how to set up and independent, self-sustaining energy system that can support most of the needs of a small off-grid home.
