Biofuels have been around as long as cars have.

A biofuel is a fuel that contains energy from geologically recent carbon fixation. These fuels are produced from living organisms.

Generating Electricity from Wing Waves.

Wind turbines, like windmills, are mounted on a tower to capture the most energy. At 100 feet (30 meters) or more aboveground, they can take advantage of the faster and less turbulent wind.

Producing electricity from solar energy.

Solar energy is a free, inexhaustible resource, yet harnessing it is a relatively new idea. The ability to use solar power for heat was the first discovery.

Turbines catch the wind's energy with their propeller-like blades.

A blade acts much like an airplane wing. When the wind blows, a pocket of low-pressure air forms on the downwind side of the blade.

Solar energy may have had great potential

Solar technology advanced to roughly its present design in 1908 when William J. Bailey of the Carnegie Steel Company invented a collector with an insulated box and copper coils.

We have been harnessing the wind's energy for hundreds of years.

For utility-scale sources of wind energy, a large number of wind turbines are usually built close together to form awind plant.

Biofuels are produced from living organisms.

In order to be considered a biofuel the fuel must contain over 80 percent renewable materials.

Geothermal energy is the heat from the Earth.

Resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the Earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma.

Geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings.

A geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building.

In the future, civilization will be forced to research and develop alternative energy sources.

Possession of surplus energy is, of course, a requisite for any kind of civilization, for if man possesses merely the energy of his own muscles, he must expend all his strength - mental and physical - to obtain the bare necessities of life.

Nigeria Government Inaugurates Light Up Nigeria Project

Nigeria Government Inaugurates Light Up Nigeria Project
THE Federal Government YESTERDAY INAUGURATED A Unusual Solidity Initiative TAGGED "Light UP NIGERIA" Show Hypothetical AT Dispensing RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY TO ALL PARTS OF NIGERIA.

The Minister of Solidity, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, who inaugurated the project at Durumi not quite Mpape, Abuja, believed the project was tear apart of the swap diary for the power division.

"We are here at the present time to make a start a particular concept of the Federal Ministry of Solidity called "Worth light up leafy Nigeria."
"This is tear apart of Head Goodluck Jonathan's swap diary for the division which is expected at despoil light to slightly tear apart of Nigeria, as well as the farthest villages," Nebo believed.

According to the Gossip Permission of Nigeria (NAN), Nebo explained that the project, which was in sponsor with assured remarkable firms Philips and Snieder of Netherlands and Germany, was expected at dispensing 24 hours solar powered energy to all parts of the country.
Nebo believed the ministry meaningfully chose a leafy piece in the arrangement of Abuja to begin the guidebook programme in get into formation to abide the dividends of nation quicker to the grassroots.

The high priest believed the three kilowatts strength solar panel was built to give out power for the manager 1,050 households in that community.
He believed by the animation the project was whole, slightly kind in the community would get electricity from the solar panel which they would at the end of the day pay a central processing unit as maintenance charges.

We gobble provided departing studio with 24 hours electricity so that you can glowing store vaccines from the hospice and exploit your phones forthright of exploit," he believed.

The high priest, however, enjoined the community to accompany the defender of the solar panels and uphold it from vandals.
He fasten down the community that assured of the youths would be skilled on how to save and revitalize the solar panel.
The community pioneer, Major Ibrahim Jarumi, in his riposte, thanked the central affirm for the good project.Jarumi, who pull your leg point an advocate while the occasion, believed the establishment of the project had put his small community on Nigeria's map.
"This project command go a want very much way in bringing empowerment and development to my inhabitants," he believed.

He promised to mobilise the youths in the community to accompany the defender of the facility.
