Green Energy Initiatives

Good green energy and clean future initiatives. A collection of feeds and links worth being mentioned and recognized.

Science knows, that energy is what keeps everything on earth alive. In physics, there is the law of conservation of energy, which states that the total amount of energy in an isolated system remains constant and energy cannot be created nor destroyed. However, energy can change it's form. For example, kinetic energy can become thermal energy. Because energy is associated with mass in the Einstein's theory of relativity, the conservation of energy also implies the conservation of mass in isolated systems (that is, the mass of a system cannot change, so long as energy is not permitted to enter or leave the system).

Another consequence of this law is that perpetual motion machines can only work perpetually if they deliver no energy to their surroundings. If such machines produce more energy than is put into them, they must lose mass and thus eventually disappear over perpetual time, and are therefore impossible. This sounds all pretty crazy but it affects us in our everyday life. The way we create energy effects many different systems.

The energy humanity creates leaves the above mentioned model of an isolated system and can be directed into different directions - good ones (ecologically friendly energy) and bad ones (for example carbon dioxide that destroys the atmosphere). Preserving and saving usable and clean energy must be humanities top-priority. There are several initiatives that work on exactly that goal, promoting so called green, environmentally save energy creation that have lower carbon emissions, compared to conventional energy sources.

List of Initiatives

The following is a list of initiatives that invest time and money in infrastructure development and planning for a renewable generation of energy like Biomass Energy, Wind Energy, Solar Energy, Geothermal Energy and Hydroelectric Energy sources.
