According to a report by the National Solid Wastes Management Association, or NSWMA, the average American household generates 4.4 pounds of garbage every day, and about 1600 pounds per year. Doesn’t it all seem like a huge waste? No pun intended, but can’t we put our garbage to use to generate clean energy?

Waste to Energy
The Magic Bicycle
Still driving that steam-spitting, steel crushing, monster-on-wheels, spewing black-smoke pollution machine that breaks down often but gets you there?
What if there was another way to get around? What if you had a vehicle which could take you from point A to B in a moderate amount of time, and get you in shape at the [...]
Tower Of Power
The energy crisis is getting out-of-hand, as you’ve probably heard. Check out the prices on oil. They aren’t going down anytime soon either.
I know we consider ourselves world leaders in many areas, such as; technology, culture, and most importantly bombing sovereign nations. Sorry, I had to throw that last one on there.
I didn’t come here [...]
Home Sweet Solar (and wind)
SOLAR! The energy of the blinding yellow (sometimes orange) glowing ball of light in our sky otherwise known as the sun. Sorry for the mouthful, but hey, it’s the sun; it’s kind of a big deal.
Now rather than tapping into the power grid, you can get your own home-solar energy unit from Power-Save Energy systems. [...]
Solar Power, Free Energy, and Bicycles
So I was riding my trusty gray and pink bicycle to class the other day (I’m a real man), enjoying the balmy early Arizona Morning, minding my own business. I was wearing jeans, a sweatshirt and sunglasses, quite the regalia for a quick morning bike ride. I arrived at school, went to class, and afterwards [...]
Car-tasrophe
Pardon the cheesy title, unless of course you like cheese, but I have been pondering the state of automobiles in our country. We’ve got exotic cars, luxury cars, family cars, family luxury cars, gas guzzlers, classics, etc… The list goes on (for quite a while).
I own a 1997 Grand Marquis, which is quite the love [...]
Transportation & Energy
Now I’m sure you’ve used the public transportation system in a major city like New York, Los Angeles, Boston or Phoenix. Although Phoenix is currently lacking a rail system (for the time being), you’ve probably hopped on the ‘Flash’ or ‘Orbit’ buses and vans. They aren’t aesthetically pleasing, but they’ll get you there. Larger cities [...]
Intervention – Change, War, and Energy
Everyone in the Southwest knows that there is no shortage of sunlight, but there will soon be a shortage of fossil fuel.
According to an article in Scientific American,
“Well-meaning scientists, engineers, economists and politicians have proposed various steps that could slightly reduce fossil-fuel use and emissions. These steps are not enough. The U.S. needs a bold [...]
Energy – It’s all around us: I don’t wanna pay!
My wallet has no money in it. It’s not because I lost all of my money in the failing/ailing stock market, it’s because I spent all my money on college tuition.
Now, college tuition isn’t my only concern as a college student. I’m looking into the future, rubbing my crystal ball (don’t get any ideas you [...]
