Living Off The Grid With Solar Power Can Be Simple, Fun, & Challenging

By Guest Contributor On October 20, 2011 — 5 Comments

My wife were desperate to get out of the city. It was 2007, we were having an extremely stressful year with work. I owned a small construction company that was just about to give me a heart attack. She had a job she hated so much she would cry on the way to work sometimes. On top of all that, we lived in a duplex with noisy neighbors. And don’t even get me started on the constant, traffic, sirens, and aircraft noise of living in the city. That’s when we decided: LETS GET OUT OF HERE – FOR GOOD! So we started looking for homes in the mountains. And, as luck would have it, we found our dream home after just one day of looking. Incredible views, astoundingly quiet, on a beautiful lake and surrounded by Aspen-draped mountains, we thought we had died and gone to heaven. There was just one thing: there was no grid power in this part of the world.

U.S. Going Wrong Way on Energy, Americans Say

By Zachary Shahan On October 20, 2011 — 3 Comments

If you're a firm believer in the U.S. being a democracy, one of the most perplexing issues for you might be the fact that: U.S citizens strongly support clean energy such as solar and wind and strongly support pulling the plug on subsidies to the fossil fuel industry, but U.S. politicians (mostly, but not entirely, on one side of the aisle) strongly support subsidies to the fossil fuel industry but not to the clean energy industry. The fact of the matter is, though, politicians respond to money more than to voters, and they (especially those on one side of the aisle) receive a lot more money from the rich fossil fuel industry than the nascent clean energy industry. Do U.S. citizens notice and care? Apparently, yes. A poll released yesterday by by The University of Texas at Austin found:

EPA Defies Republicans – Announces Better Data-Gathering on Air Pollution Harm Anyway

By Susan Kraemer On October 19, 2011 — 6 Comments

Even as the Republican majority in the House is shutting down the science associated with air pollution, and has passed an astounding 168 bills hampering the EPA's ability to collect data on (or act to prevent) the harm of pollutants, the EPA is making improvements in its ability to study the interaction of weather and harmful air pollution. (What dedication!) The EPA today announced a more up to the minute refinement of a decades-old method gathering its data: the Community Multi-scale Air Quality model (CMAQ) that the National Weather Service uses as the model to produce daily forecasts for ozone air quality and other harmful health effects of dirty energy use. The new modeling improves forecasting ability, in predicting for example the daily danger level of smog over natural geological "basins" like Los Angeles. But the Republican Party has other plans:
