Electricity and gasoline are two of the world's most priced commodities. Resources are getting scanty and since they are not widely available, the rest of the world has to depend on those who have means to obtain some. Despite how expensive gas is nowadays, people still find means to be able to meet their needs. In line with this worldwide concern, a new internet trend has arisen. And now, there are several energy comparison sites that you can...more
It's a well-known fact that the New York Knicks are focused on the summer of 2010. They're all but guaranteed to go after potential free agent LeBron James if he opts out of his contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, we're just 24 games into the 2009-10 season and there's a lot of basketball to be played. The Knicks sit at 8-16, but have won five of their last seven games and seem to be giving New York basketball fans hope about this...more
David West scored a season-high 32 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, Chris Paul had 16 points, Emeka Okafor added 15 and the New Orleans Hornets defeated the Detroit Pistons 95-87. Get New Orleans Hornets tickets and see West drive to the hoop. Paul had 12 assists, while Peja Stojakovic swished three 3-pointers and finished the game with 11 points for the Hornets. New Orleans ended a two-game losing streak and handed Detroit their second straight loss. The Hornets improved to 11-13, good enough for 10th place in the Western Conference.Rodney Stuckey led the pistons with 26 points, Charlie Villanueva had 18, and Chucky Atkins added 13. Detroit entered the contest without Ben Gordon (left ankle) and Tayshaun Price (back). The Pistons received more bad news right before tipoff when Richard Hamilton was unable to play due to a sore right hamstring. Atkins filled in for Hamilton and Detroit got off to a great start.The Hornets turned over the ball 14 times in the first half and the Pistons took advantage with a 20-4 run in the second quarter.

The one main advantage to green energy is that it's produced on hand. Take homemade hydrogen for example. Using a simple electrified wire, a person can turn an average cup of water into H2 and 02, both clean burning combustible chemicals. Actually storing and utilizing these compounds is difficult at present, but the point is that the energy is...more
Manufacturing flexible solar panels involve depositing thin-film amorphous silicon on polymer layers. Individual photovoltaic cells are electrically connected as these doped semiconductor units are placed on the substrate. This layer consisting of tiny solar cells are then sealed with a protective, transparent material strong enough to withstand light scratches. The product of this process produce solar panels that are thin, flexible and light enough to be rolled up for storage.There are many applications for flexible solar panels. Being portable, they're often used as a charger for gadgets like PDAs, mobile phones, laptops and walkie-talkies. They can also be used to power camping equipment, field communication radios and GPS systems. Many flexible solar panels are even integrated into architectural fabric and metal roofing.Price-wise, amorphous silicon thin film solar cells can be cheaper than conventional crystalline cells. This is because less semiconductor material is required. Each thin film cell is 1-micrometer thick, as compared to an average of 150 to 200 micrometers for crystalline cells. The downside to this material is its inefficiency. While crystalline photovoltaic...more

Living in Nevada, the sun is an almost permanent companion. This gives Nevadans a unique possibility to use solar radiation powers for better. In April, a tour of southern Nevada homes shed a few light on the subject of solar powered homes. It...more
Solar energy comes from the sun. A biology class will tell you that in addition to affecting climate and weather, sunlight provides the energy that sustains most life on earth. It also can be harness to provide heating, lighting and electricity....more
No doubt, you have heard a lot about solar power but constantly thought it was too pricey, excluding minor uses in the now generalized garden lighting systems. However, with fuel prices climbing and solar cells becoming more reasonable, adding solar...more
You have grown tired of paying monstrous electric costs and have decided to go solar. Solar panels are not exactly your taste. Do not worry; you can go solar without them. Solar panels are use to change sunlight into electricity, which may be used to...more
Solar power is the power extracted from the sun's energy, which is the sunlight. As the sun provides us sunlight free, solar power itself too is a renewable, clean and background friendly source of energy. With rising concerns about depleting fossil...more
