The Global View - Carbon Footprints, Fuel Efficiencies, Conservation
Only recently (about the past 10,000 years or so) have humans used solar energy in the form of "carbon-foot-print" in the form of that all-power power called "fire". This is a good start to the story--but it's most likely really, really wrong. Because all living things--including humans--are carbon-based life-forms. The fact of being born to a living organism and that we consume food that is also carbon-based means that we are part of the "carbon-foot-print" even before the use of fuel (fossil-fuel or otherwise) comes into the picture. Of course, this also means that all the bunnies, squirrels, deer, polar bears, and penguins of the world are also part of the "carbon-foot-print". So, now that we've got all this craziness out of the way, let's get on track to talk about the current crisis effecting us (and something we can do something about)(and, no, it isn't "global-warming" either). Read on for more information that may be more useful for you!

You Have to Invest in Education--and Most Likely, Your School or College Isn't Teaching These Concepts!
I have been collecting solar and alternate energy references and resources for the past 30 years. It started when I was in high school and got interested in other ways to create heat and light (mostly for the power outages during the aftermath of typhoons) when we lived on Guam.I've recently discovered an interesting resource that you can see when you click here. Lots of ideas for ways you can build your own alternate energy sources for your home or small business.
And here are two more:
Solar Power Design Manual--Teach Yourself All About Solar Power. Comprehensive Manual by Genuine Expert. Spreadsheet Included.
Renewable Energy Solutions--The Manual--The folks who put this together have been presented on TV, Google, and the New York Times as a source of Alternate Energy Information. Good stuff for those in need of Alternate Energy!
