This may come as a surprise to you, but electricity produced from coal-fired generation plants, is the most affordable source of mass-produced power. Coal is a third of the cost of petroleum or natural gas, which are both less expensive than solar, wind or for that matter, any other renewable power source. In addition, coal remains [...]

GREEN CONCLUSION
Green Energy Technology goals are not only noble but will have an ever-growing place in the always increasing energy production needs. The goal of taking what God has given us in renewable energy sources, and converting them into electrical power in order to sustain and enhance our lives (without the fear of polluting the [...]
FIRST-GENERATION GREEN TECHNOLOGIES
HYDROELECTRIC Hydroelectric power plants have been in existence over 100 years. They are considered a clean, renewable energy technology with few emissions. Although considered “Green” by most definitions, hydroelectric dams are criticized for the large CO2 amounts produced during construction, as well as the displacement of people and loss of land and vegetation, due to [...]
INTRODUCTION TO GREEN TECHNOLOGY
Green Energy seems to have an ever-evolving definition, depending on how big the “Tree-Hugger” is, who is writing the article. I’ll admit that the only reason this article is here, is because my producers have insisted it be part of the Electric Authority website. I am a supply and demand, pragmatic, capitalist and proud of [...]
ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION OF POWER
Now that we’ve seen the ways we generate electricity (primarily, heated water driving generator turbines), we need to discuss getting the power from the generating station to your home or business. Electric power transmission is carried over high tension wires at much higher voltages (sometimes 500,000 volts) than you the consumer require, or are governmentally [...]
ELECTRICITY
If someone has a website devoted to their life’s work, they should start with their feelings on the subject. The subject of electricity. Our Lives Depend on Electricity Electricity touches every aspect of our lives, every second of the day of those lives, and will continue to do so for the rest of our lives. [...]
ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATION
Simply put, electricity is energy produced from another energy form. It is the means that electric utility companies use to create the power that runs our lives. This energy transformation mostly occurs at a power station with the use of electromechanical generators driven most likely by heat engines, which are fueled by nuclear fission or [...]
