Environmental educational topics

The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 require large utilities to obtain 15 percent of their electricity from new renewable resources such as solar and wind by 2020. On May 18th, 2009, Secretary of the Department of Energy Chu announced the first 16 of the 100 standards that much be addressed by September in order to clear the way for the expenditure of Stimulus Package funds towards expanding the Smart Grid.

Five Renewable Energy Sources

by Deb Powers

The more you know about renewable energy, the better you'll understand projects that harness renewable energy in your own neighborhood. This is important, because not all projects that are touted as "renewable energy" are necessarily green or good for your community.
