</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">1. Grab a piece of paper and a pen<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">2. Go from outlet to outlet and check the number of watts each appliance uses, writing them down on the piece of paper as if they were in a table with five colums. (Appliance Name, Wattage, Hours, kWh)<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">(1 kilowatt (kW) = 1,000 Watts)<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">3. Now input a guess for the number of Hours each appliance is used.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">4. Multiply the Wattage by the Hours Used Divided by 1000 to get the Kilowatt Hour Consumption<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">(Wattage × Hours Used Per Day ÷ 1000 = Daily Kilowatt-hour (kWh) consumption<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">5. Multiply the Kilowatt Hour Consumption by the Price (cents) per Kilowatt Hour<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">( kWh × cents/kWh)<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="http://energysavers.gov/your_home/appliances/index.cfm/mytopic=10040">Examples:</a><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Window fan:<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">(200 Watts × 4 hours/day × 120 days/year) ÷ 1000<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">= 96 kWh × 8.5 cents/kWh<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">= $8.16/year<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Personal Computer and Monitor:<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">(120 + 150 Watts × 4 hours/day × 365 days/year) ÷ 1000<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">= 394 kWh × 8.5 cents/kWh<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">= $33.51/year<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Make sure to improve efficiency by using sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, efficiency devices, solar, wind, hydro, and green home cleaning. Take public transport and use your bicycle. Go through life happy and bless others as you walk this planet, practice a life of sustainability and improve on what others give you. Feed a man <br />

Solar Thermal is the type of solar panels you would find on top of a roof heating water. The two types of systems you will find this in is solar thermal domestic hot water heaters and solar thermal pool heaters. Another form of solar thermal is the solar trouph collectors you can see out in the New Mexico dessert. The solar thermal trouph collectors collect the suns heat and use that heat to evaporate a liquid to gas form to drive a turbine, which is another way to get electricity out of the suns rays. Solar PV is simply the direct conversion of the Suns rays into electrons, using thin sheets of silicon semiconducting material. PV panels are made from Silicon which is a semiconductor, and are made using a process called doping, where the properties of silicon are manipulated to give two layers of silicon counterposing charges.Green Energy Floridahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13182810689618941626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155108864151301588.post-74941703504002344182009-07-22T15:56:00.000-07:002009-07-22T16:03:19.122-07:00Government and EEMIf the government wants to get us out of this crisis the first step would be to free up money for renewable energy. If they would provide grants for Residential Solar Installs there would be a huge boost to the economy with better outcomes than any other investment. As well the government could provide mortgage insurance to companies willing to provide energy efficient mortgages to homeowners. As well they could pay for the education of people who want to take renewable energy classes. They could pay for the HERS reports people want to get to be qualified for the EEMs. Also they could bail-in a whole host of car manufacture companies willing to produce vehicles that get way better fuel efficiency than is currently accepted by the larger hog companies. Why give 30 billion to a company that is experienced at failure and bloated with high paid jobs, when we could create 300 lean companies, some would be expected to fail, with the prospect of creating some of the newest and most inovattive vehicles ever seen in the history of man. If we just stopped the bloating with some antacid maybe we could clear the way for a proper diet.Green Energy Floridahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13182810689618941626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155108864151301588.post-8917811811207067082009-07-05T16:14:00.000-07:002009-07-05T16:16:39.564-07:00Working on the LVAWTI have been working on the Drawings for my LVAWT, a type of lighter than air vertical axis wind turbine. I came up with an alternator assembly which will both reduce burn up risk as well as negate the need for a breaking device. I hope that with this project progressing people will some day achieve the ability to use electricity however and whenever they want. As well I believe this technology may be easily spread to third world countries, and may ultimately become one of the most prevalent forms of renewable energy in the world.Green Energy Floridahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13182810689618941626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155108864151301588.post-35949409331050592442009-07-05T09:27:00.000-07:002009-07-05T09:40:49.713-07:00EEM EIM and Energy IncentivesHave you thought about Buying a house Latelly?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Disclaimer:</span> I do not propose to be in any way interested in your decisions. Do your own research before taking out a mortgage. I am simply stating some ideas I have, and am not involved legally nor personally in investments therof.<br /><br /> Did you know that An EEM or and EIM might be just what the doctor ordered. Energy Efficient Mortgages and Energy Investment Mortgages have recieved backing from the government mortgage broking system. There are a few quirks to the system. Mak<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Banks don't like giving money to just people any more, they would like the money to go toward machines which they can share the risk in. Imagine getting stuck with a bill, one which keeps getting inflated, that is your energy bill. Imagine an investment which has predictable payoffs in the long run. Banks have decided that predictable capital returns are a great way to leverage envestments, and So has the government. The capital markets are more open to capital investments, so it seems that banks may tend to lend money with positive returns that don't hinge on individual choices. Entire communities could go green, with the reduced venture costs generated by enherent levels of risk being dedicated to individuals and the decision making models which may be changed by degrees of freedom when predictably guided by basic media models and community belief structures. The capital markets like Renewable Energy, so long as they are not heavely leveraged in fossil fuet consumption, in which case a reverse model becomes inherent in the capital development and social structiure interior to the capital helpers and holders.Green Energy Floridahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13182810689618941626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155108864151301588.post-47199494212856953862009-06-23T09:53:00.000-07:002009-06-23T09:57:31.861-07:00SuperTurbine Now Available!Inventor Dough Selsam, Featured in Popular Science magazine has done it, he has invented a multi rotor wind turbine. Think one blade per alternator is good, try multiple rotors. This guy is genius, by making the drive shaft go through both sides of a horizontal axis wind turbine alternator, he could put not just one blade, but two. He is also developing something he calls the wind dragon, a version with multiple turbines held aloft by balloons. Great inventor great idea, I will ad a link to his site soon.Green Energy Floridahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13182810689618941626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155108864151301588.post-1836481714967690502009-06-11T17:29:00.000-07:002009-06-11T17:32:56.638-07:00Greener Living Class (FREE)My class just got an ad in the local Natural Awakenings.

Don't you think its time, our evolution be given a boost. We can and will become a better humanity if we just think of the consequences of our actions and don't allow our own prejudices to impact others or make others prejudice. If we can listen to our ego just enough to keep us safe, meanwhile contributing as much as possible to the future of our communal development. I believe a future is at hand, I feel it is just around the corner. The day when someone says... Net Carbon Negative country reduces its carbon contribution to a negative number/ a positive impact. With wind, water, and solar tech getting closer and closer to changing the very way we interact with energy we may have come full circle. Maybe there is time for us yet. With ocean waste at an all time high, maybe its time to start mining the pollution. Maybe its time to start getting the disgusting gunk out of your ecosystem. Perhaps, if you would like your children to live in a better world you would pay a few cents more for electric, a few cents more for fruit and veggies, a few cents more for a biodegradable plastic bottle, a few dollars more for you car, and so on.... after all it make since to acknowledge the legacy debt you will leave to your offspring. It is time to accept the consequences of your mother and fathers actions. The time has come to accept the lifestyle which will best help the whole. Perhaps have less children (1 or 2) after all if its your right to pollute, to breed, to feed, and to need, It will be your children s right to clean up after all the things you have left behind. Would you like to leave a legacy of change a legacy of promise a legacy of enchantment with nature, or a legacy of brutal hypocrisy a legacy of death destruction and oil spills. We all have the chance, and now We must acknowledge we have the Power.Green Energy Floridahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13182810689618941626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155108864151301588.post-17089992823467048582009-04-22T16:05:00.001-07:002009-04-22T16:12:26.361-07:00अ green directory<a href="http://www.greenposting.org/" _fcksavedurl="http://www.greenposting.org"><img src="http://www.greenposting.org/image/GPlogo.jpg" _fcksavedurl="http://www.greenposting.org/image/GPlogo.jpg" border="0" height="175" width="153" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.landscapedesign4uonline.com/index.htm">http://www.landscapedesign4uonline.com/index.htm</a>Green Energy Floridahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13182810689618941626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155108864151301588.post-22231722835763944972009-04-22T15:27:00.000-07:002009-04-22T15:31:15.784-07:00Green Energy Floridahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13182810689618941626noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155108864151301588.post-60110023443601409332009-04-22T15:01:00.000-07:002009-04-22T15:08:44.021-07:00A Nifty Way to keep track of seeds you plantDirections:<br />Cut a Paper Towel tube or Toilet paper tube into one inch lengths , place these over the hole where you plant the seeds. Within days or so you will see the starts come through, and be able to keep track of them throughout their starting phase. I don't believe much in chemical weeding treatments, so this is a great way to keep track of those new starts.<br /><br /><br /><br />Check out this website where I got the idea from. Lots of Pretty pictures, a good blog as well.<br /><a href="http://mrbrownthumb.blogspot.com/2009/03/paper-tube-seed-collars-for-direct-seed.html">http://mrbrownthumb.blogspot.com</a><br /><br />Another Few Nifty Spots<br /><a href="http://chicagogardeners.blogspot.com/">http://chicagogardeners.blogspot.com/</a><br /><a href="green-renaissance.com/blog">green-renaissance.com/blog</a>Green Energy Floridahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13182810689618941626noreply@blogger.com0
