Study: NC developing alternative energy options

2009-09-04T15:36:00.000-07:00

North Carolina has significant potential to develop wind and other alternative energy without drastically increasing customer bills, according to a recent study from the state's Utilities Commission.

The report indicates that renewable energy could provide as much as 1,800 megawatts of power, the equivalent of two power plants the size of Progress Energy's Shearon Harris nuclear plant in Wake County, NC.

The study comes at a time that Progress Energy and Duke Energy are planning to build nuclear plants and Duke Energy is also planning to build coal-fired power plants.

Ways The Military Utilizes Alternative Energy

2009-09-04T15:32:00.001-07:00

The US military knows that its branches must revamp their thinking about how to engage in “the theater of war” in the new, post-Cold War world of the 21st century. One thing that the military leaders stress is the desire for the forces deployed in the theater to be able to be more energy-independent.

Currently the US military has policies and procedures in place to interact with allies or sympathetic local populaces to help its forces in the field get their needed energy and clean water when engaged in a foreign military campaign. However, this is not wholly reliable, as the US might well find itself facing unilateral military activities, or have itself in a situation where its allies cannot help it with the resources it needs to conduct its military actions successfully.

Hybrid Electric Vehicles

2009-09-04T15:24:00.000-07:00

With the rise in the price of gasoline, more and more people are taking interest in electric vehicles as means of transport. Another major advantage of electrically operated vehicles is that these vehicles offer pollution free means of transportation. Therefore even if 70% of people start using an electrically powered vehicle, we will be free of global warming caused by emission of gases like CO and CO2. There will be almost no instances of cancer caused by pollution.

Electric vehicles are more energy efficient than the contemporary vehicles wherein the electric vehicles operates at approximately 47 percent of effectiveness, while a contemporary vehicle operates at about 19 percent only. There are studies that generally conclude that electric cars with batteries are approximately 12 to 35 percent more efficient with energy than the traditional cars which run on gasoline.
