Renewable energy sources are very important in the fight against global warming because they do not produce greenhouse gases like fossil fuels do. Rouge’s book, “The Dark Feminine Energy Bible”, is a five-in-one guide to unleashing your inner strength. She covers topics such as freedom, pleasure, seduction, truth, and intuition, and provides practical exercises for developing each of these qualities. Rouge believes that by embracing your dark feminine energy, you can become a powerful, confident woman who is capable of achieving anything. Start reading Books

The sun doesn’t shine at night. There are monsoons. There are places in China—for example—which are remarkably cloudy. So this by itself does not solve the problem, however cheap solar photovoltaics become. However it does definitely solve part of our problem. For example, in India about twenty percent of current electricity demand is to pull water up from wells and use it for irrigation. And you didn’t have to have that activity going on all the time so, for that type of application and solar is absolutely suitable. Indeed, for a large fraction of the world, the point of highest daily energy demand is in late afternoon when the air conditioning is working at its hardest. For those places, solar is useful; the sun is still above the horizon. This book aims to help people achieve an individual well-being. It gives clear advice on how to do it. It is written as a self-help book helping to bring balance and harmony to our body and mind. This book was also reissued recently. The new edition is by no means as extensively rewritten as Vaclav Smil’s book, but it is a wonderfully readable history of the development of the oil age: how the world came from a point where if you had energy it was either biomass—that is wood—or coal, to a point where oil was the dominant source of energy. It was probably never more than fifty percent of total energy worldwide but it has been the most traded energy commodity and it changed the nature of geopolitics over the course of a hundred years from around 1890 to late in the twentieth century. It’s only the rise of shale oil in the US that has reduced crude oil’s central role in world politics. But the most important thing is batteries for short-term overnight storage. There, we have seen exactly the same phenomenon as we have seen with PV, with costs coming down in a way that nobody predicted, driven by the iron law of the learning curve. The mathematics behind the learning curve gives you a figure for the amount that the cost of something will fall that is derived from how much of it is produced. So, a learning or experience curve typically says that once the production of a commodity such as PV panels has cumulatively doubled, the cost will fall by a predictable amount.Our body is not a separate island in the ocean, separate from everything… Our body is part of the ocean. The body is a small Universe in bigger Universe. Renewable energy sources can be used for electricity generation, heating (like solar thermal systems), transportation (like electric cars), or even cooking food (like wood stoves).

I read this book at the same time as Smil's Energy and Civilization. It proved to be a good compliment to Smil's book but left me feeling pretty disappointed at the same time. I wanted more from this book than it had to offer. Maybe I would have favored it more if I had not read at the same time as Smil's masterpiece. We here in the UK have a different perspective, of course. When we need energy, the sun generally isn’t shining. For the bulk of the world, solar is pretty good. But, everywhere is going to need storage. It’ll either be storage in the form of things like concentrating solar power, which is where the sun heats a liquid or fluid of some form during the day and that heat — we’re talking about hundreds of degrees centigrade here — is used at night to create steam to drive a turbine. That is being taken up in various parts of the world, such as Morocco, South Africa, China, Saudi Arabia, and Dubai. That’s a way of capturing the sun’s energy during the day and using it at night.The final chapter contains a stunningly accurate picture of where energy conversion should be headed, and it deserves to be read by all thinking people who care about both the environment and humanity - which are one and the same. Renewable Energy covers solar, hydro energy, and wind energy. The author breaks down each topic into chapters that cover how these various systems work and why they are beneficial for society. Life in this universe is not a simple mechanic organisation of physical elements, rather it is a matrix of energies and intelligences.

What we know about life in the period prior to video cameras is tainted and tinted by sanitized depictions in modern movies and shows. The book presents an entirely different picture. It was a dark, smelly, smoggy, dirty, and spartan existence, bared through numerous data points and factoids. Consider this: the US population at various times in the nineteenth century was less than today's Singapore, or an average American had a life expectancy (at 46) at the beginning of the twentieth century less than the last-placed country in the world today. The book has plenty to offer for history buffs who care more about information than narratives. Whether you are interested in exploring the mythic feminine power of “fierce compassion” or learning more about the role of feminine energy in manifestation and the creative process, there is a book out there that can help you deepen your understanding and connection to this powerful force. People have lived and died, businesses have prospered and failed, and nations have risen to world power and declined, all over energy challenges. Ultimately, the history of these challenges tells the story of humanity itself. Renewable Energy offers a comprehensive look at the renewable energy industry -while focussing on wind power, solar and tidal power. Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning author Richard Rhodes reveals the fascinating history behind energy transitions over time—wood to coal to oil to electricity and beyond.By ‘geoengineering’ we mean alteration of the world’s physical systems in a way that changes the planet’s ecological balance. Most of Oliver Morton’s book is about reducing the amount of the sun’s energy that gets through to the earth’s surface as a way of counterbalancing the increase of the heat blanket in the earth’s atmosphere. I’ve heard the distinguished climate scientist Ken Caldeira say that, sure, we should we looking at geoengineering and yes there may be some technical fixes but when you look at the costs, it’s almost always likely to be much cheaper to just reduce carbon emissions in the first place than to geoengineer. This book goes into the sources of your energy. It explains the original power that you have ‘received’. This book aims to help you achieve an individual well-being. It gives you advice on how to do it. It is written as a self-help book helping to bring balance and harmony to your body and mind.
