Renewable and Alternative Energy
Posts in this category are about Renewable Energy. Currently, the majority of energy produced is polluting, non-renewable, and damaging to ecosystems. Large, highly centralized power utilities are inefficient, suffering significant power losses during power generation, transformation, distribution, and consumption. Transportation systems currently rely almost entirely on fossil fuels, which will need to be phased out to stabilize the climate.
Instead, the focus should be on generating energy from renewable sources, including wind, solar, small-scale hydro, biomass, and geothermal. Use fuel cells as energy storage devices to complement the electrical grid, and hydrogen to run the fuel cells.

Warmer Climate Entails Increased Release of Carbon Dioxide by Inland Lakes
