 PVs: Shedding Some Light on the Situation- Sabrina Juarez, 12-21-01 Our cities use them. Many countries use them. They're the energy source of the future. But did you know that they're right next to you? As you turn to look and figure out what they are, they are increasing. They're photovoltaic cells, and their worldwide market is bigger than it has ever been... |
 The Green Valley- Ed Ring, 9-13-01 The next generation of products in the world will be green. But what is "green?" Green can mean earth-friendly, green can mean a political movement, but green can also be the label given to the most significant economic transformation in the history of humanity. Sacramento's role in this worldwide shift to a green economy could be huge... |
 WildAid Day InterviewEd Ring, 9-11-01 San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown proclaimed August 2nd, "WildAid Day." All four of WildAid's original band of warriors were gathered in that city to plan and to celebrate, and EcoWorld had a chance to interview them before the festivities.... |
 Bickford Ranch: Sunny Future of Home Developments?Ed Ring, 7-24-01 California's population is increasing by half a million per year, so development is inevitable, and the only a question is where and how to develop.

The World Rankings: CO2, BTU, GNP, POP- EcoWorld, 7-10-01 You've heard the claims, now see how the nations really size up in terms of CO2 emissions and BTU energy consumption, both total and per capita, plus EcoWorld crunched the numbers to produce a fascinating table showing the relationship between energy consumption and GNP... |
World Energy Consumption:The Good, The Bad, and the BTUs - Ed Ring, 5-29-01 To speak exclusively of conservation," said U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, "is to duck tough issues." It's hard to argue with that statement, whether or not you agree with anything else Cheney may have to say about energy. The tough issue is that energy production must increase, and conservation will only slow that increase but can't stop it. Energy production is a global issue, and in a world where populations are increasing and economies are industrializing, the idea that global energy usage can remain flat through conservation is ridiculous. Here's why..." |
 Global Energy Supply and Demand- EcoWorld, 5-15-01 Oil, Coal and Natural Gas are non-renewable energy sources and are therefore of a limited supply on the planet Earth. Coal in particular has a relatively low energy density and coal mining can literally require "mountain removal" which is extremely disruptive to watersheds and water quality, not to mention ecosystem integrity. Every few years the U.S. Dept of Energy produces its International Energy Outlook, which estimates current global supplies, or reserves, and forecasts global use of these non-renewable sources... |

But the most efficient we've seen yet is a prototype being developed by Anuvu Inc. .... |

 Cover the Earth with Photovoltaics- Ed Ring, 3-31-01 If the whole world consumed 500 quadrillion BTU's of energy in 2000, and that's only a bit generous, than a sheet of photovoltaic cells 200 miles on a side would have produced 100% of the world's energy requirements in that year. .... |
 Toxins to Topsoil- Ed Ring, 3-16-01 In 1981 when Jonathan Brewer headed west to seek his fortune in the goldfields of California, you would think he came 132 years too late. Not so. The mining industry procedures Brewer learned have found him fortune in an ironic twist, by inspiring a unique process to extract toxic waste from the earth .... |
