Extractions: ASSOCIATED PRESS RENO, Nev. (AP) - President Bush's new budget anticipates $2.4 billion in oil lease sales in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by 2005, with half the money to be spent to research solar, wind, geothermal and other alternative energy, an assistant secretary said Friday. The proposal to spend $1.2 billion in lease sales on research of renewable energies - part of Bush's pending budget blueprint for fiscal year 2004 - should help temper opposition to drilling in arctic Alaska, said Rebecca Watson, assistant interior secretary for land and minerals management. "One would hope that it would," Watson told The Associated Press. She said it was the first time the administration had proposed spending the proceeds from the oil sales directly on alternative power research. "It fits with the president's national energy policy, which is a balanced approach looking at increasing domestic fossil fuels but also looking ahead to renewable energy," she said in a telephone interview from Washington. "Renewable energy faces some hurdles from a financial standpoint so it needs some more money for research. This type of a proposal would be a big boost," she said.

Extractions: ASSOCIATED PRESS CARSON CITY Construction of environmentally friendly geothermal power plants might be the silver lining of an energy-crisis cloud moving east across the Sierra from California, lawmakers were told Thursday. However, an industry spokesman said Nevada must do more than hope for alternative energy producers to flood the state with power proposals. Steve Munson, chief executive of Vulcan Power Co., a Bend, Ore.-based company that develops alternative energy sources, told the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee that Nevada is an ideal place for geothermal power generation. "The U.S. Department of Energy has called Nevada the Saudi Arabia of geothermal," said Munson, adding that geothermal power is environmentally friendly, cheap and cost-stable. He said geothermal plants are located at hot springs, so they aren't dependent on outside suppliers of fuel that can vary widely in price. "We're kind of a hedge against continued high gas prices," Munson said.

Extractions: Home Page Just a few feet from you is one of the world's most environmentally friendly and efficient energy sources. In this time of rising energy costs and heightened environmental responsibility, geothermal energy is receiving greater public, commercial, and governmental acceptance than ever before. Currently placed third among all sources of renewable energy production, geothermal energy follows hydroelectricity and biomass, and is ahead of solar and wind. Geothermal energy is a free, renewable resource literally waiting to be tapped. Geothermal energy works because the earth's temperature, even at a depth of six feet, is remarkably stable-regardless of how hot or cold it may be at the surface. It is this property that lets geothermal energy heat in the winter and cool in the summer.

Extractions: home site map frequently asked questions about us ... links Whether you're looking to increase your energy self-sufficiency or just want information about where your power comes from, home energy use is one of the most important areas where you can lower your environmental impact. That's because electricity generation from fossil fuels is the single most polluting activity today in industrialized countries. Most U.S. power plants burn coal, which is a leading cause of acid rain, greenhouse gas emissions, smog, tiny particulate pollution, and toxic metal contamination. And as the population grows, homes get bigger, and people use more and more electronic items, energy consumption keeps growing. Though energy efficiency standards for appliances and more stringent building codes for homes help to reduce demand, energy consumption is expected to increase 87% between 1997 and 2020. A renewable energy source is one which we cannot deplete or which we deplete at a rate less than that necessary for regeneration. Although one can argue that fossil fuels are renewable, it takes millions of years for them to regenerate. Better sources given the human time frame: Another reason to start thinking now about renewable energy is the current move to deregulate the U.S. electric power industry. Some time in the near future (or even now if you live in certain areas), you will be able to select where you buy your electricity. If you choose to purchase from a less-polluting source, you can have a major influence on the environmental impact of energy consumption.

The Politics Of Alternative Energy Can (alternative) energy Save our Environment. by Kevin Sager. No one has electricityuse. geothermal energy is similarly promising. According http://www.web.net/~ondy/ondy/socfre/issue3/sager3.html
Extractions: Can Alternative Energy Save our Environment by Kevin Sager No one has to be told these days of the effect fossil fuel dependence has had on our environment, our economy, and even our foreign policy. Every year we are told of the harm done by greenhouse gas emissions, the inherent danger of nuclear fission, and the increasing likelihood that we will run out of our supplies of oil within a few decades. We know that the last time our supplies of oil were threatened, during the Arab oil embargo of the 1970s, the result was economic chaos in the west. And still, like a hopeless addict, we continue to buy more and more. But if we admit that we have a problem, like any addict, that in itself would be the first step towards breaking the habit. Contrary to what the apologists tell us time and again, we are not without choices. We do not, as some on the far left occasionally suggest, have to abandon all industry and return to a completely agrarian society. Nor do we face a "Mad Max" type future in which the collapse of the oil market leads to the fall of civilization. In fact, there are a plethora of proven, safe, clean renewable alternatives to fossil fuels and fission which will, in time, allow us to continue to enjoy the standard of living we have grown accustomed to. Everything from solar power, to wind energy, biomass fuels, and even the energy of the Earth itself can be exploited. Take wind energy, for example. The Worldwatch institute in Washington DC has called wind energy "the world's fastest growing energy source." According to the Canadian Wind Energy Association, Canada has far more wind energy potential than its current total use of electricity (about 485,000,000,000 kilowatt-hours used in 1995). For a more specific example, the 18.9 megawatt wind generating plant on Cowley Ridge, Alberta produces more than 55,000,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year - enough for 6,800 typical Canadian homes. If this electricity is used to displace coal-generated electricity, it avoids discharging about 55,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere annually. Furthermore, the global wind energy potential, even when one excludes environmentally sensitive areas, is roughly five times current global electricity use.

Extractions: Alternative energy in Slovakia Alternative sources of energy are becoming more popular because of expected lack of traditional fossil sources - oil, gas, coal - in the future. For Slovakia and many other countries are these traditional sources of energy primary. Burning of these fuels has a bad influence on the nature. Therefore, more countries are focusing on alternative sources of energy. The greatest source of energy on the earth is sun. It produces great amount of energy without negative influences on the enviroment. We can exploit this energy indirectly or directly. Indirectly as a water energy, wind energy or biomass conversion. Directly as conversion of solar energy using solar systems. Solar systems are divided into passive and active. The oldest form is passive exploitation of solar energy which includes solar architecture. Therefore, the orientation of buildings - especially big glass areas to the south is efficient in order to save a lot of heating energy. The most effective is orientation of living room to the south. Architecture of buildings can save us more than 10% of energy for heating. There are only few buildings in Slovakia with solar architecture and new buildings are growing very slowly. Most of these houses have are build according to solar architecture because of modern design with large windows.

Environmental Issues Education (alternative) energy Sources geothermal. geothermal energy comes fromthe heat within the earth. This heat is generated mostly from http://www.fsec.ucf.edu/ed/eie/energy-geotherm.htm
Extractions: Historically, geothermal energy in the form of hot springs was used for bathing and heating. Geothermal energy was first used to produce electricity in 1904, by a group of Italians who used the steam naturally erupting from the earth to power a generator. The first successful American geothermal plant was built in 1960 at the Geysers in California. There are presently 64 geothermal plants in the United States. Geothermal energy is renewable and does little damage to the environment. Large high temperature geothermal plants typically recycle the water used, injecting it back into the geothermal reservoir. Geothermal plants produce almost no emissions because they do not burn any fuel to produce the electricity they use, and since they sit on top of their energy supply, the amount of emissions produced in transporting this energy source is negligible.
