And while usually that's a bad thing, with methane being a potent greenhouse gas and all, it can be captured and turned into a renewable source of energy. So how exactly do you turn cow crap into energy. Accelerating the introduction of green, environmentally friendly, energy such as solar, wind and wave power is one of the most pressing issues facing humani...

  Why use Renewable Energy Sources?   With the fear of running out of fossil fuels and other sources of non-renewable energy, experts are trying to educate people about the need to shift to a new renewable energy source. In the recent years, there has been an increase renewable energy sources. Such sources include solar, water, and wind. As with everything else many people have doubted renewable energy sources and have questioned their efficiency, as well as our ability to converting renewable energy to electricity. It is crystal clear that the real issue lies with the understanding rather than the doubting of the efficiency of renewable energy sources to deliver the same efficiency of our current fossil fuels and non renewable sources. So what are the different types?   Some of the most popular types of renewable energy being used today include solar, geothermal, wind, and hydro. Unfortunately despite the popularity that these sources are gaining, consumers are still...
