Time has run out! Help save the planet!

Be informed on the current state of technology and how you can help to save our planet. Don’t let greed and the pursuit of profit be our downfall. See what Obama and other politicians have to say about the current state of the environment. Vote NOW at http://oil.allourvoices.org

Studies today are showing that there are many other renewable sources of energy such as solar, wind, tidal/wave, and geothermal. Researchers claim that these clean sources of energy are held back only because of the market domination and profit greed of the current energy companies.

On the other side of the spectrum, people are claiming that the climate changes we are facing have little to do with our consumption of fossil fuels, and is merely a cyclical event that our planet is going through.

What do YOU think? What’s your opinion?

Solar Tower – EnviroMission reduces green house CO2 emission

EnviroMission, Ltd. (www.enviromission.com.au; US Stock Market: EVOMY, Australian Stock Exchange: EVM) is a renewable energy developer of sustainable “green” energy solutions for the energy market. EnviroMission aims to be one of Australia’s leading producers of clean renewable energy. EnviroMission holds the proprietary rights to Solar Tower technology, a large-scale renewable energy technology based on simple fundamentals of physics — hot air rises. Solar Tower technology has the potential to offer competitive renewable energy with equal reliability to fossil fuel generators.

A single 200MW Solar Tower power station will provide enough electricity to power around 400,000 households. The energy output will represent an annual saving of more than 1,960,000 tonnes of greenhouse CO2 gases from entering the environment when compared to brown coal emissions in Victoria. The greenhouse savings equate to the removal of approximately 500,000 cars from the road. The Australian Solar Tower project consists of six distinct phases, the first two of which (project optimization and pre-feasibility commercialization) have already been completed. The third phase (final feasibility), paving the way for the implementation of the next three phases (final design, construction, and commercial operation).

UVM/VFN Renewable Energy Study (Part 2)

Over the Fall semester of 2009, 5 students from the University of Vermont conducted a study of Renewable Energy in the Mad River Valley of Vermont, working with the Valley Futures Network’s Energy Group as their community partner. This video documents some of the renewable energy activity in the Mad River Valley, provides a background of some basic renewable energy system (high and low cost) and also introduces you to some real people who are making renewable energy a part of their lives. Learn more at http://www.mrvenergy.org

This video was made by students as part of a University of Vermont service learning course taught by Chip Sawyer (wsawyer@uvm.edu)
