			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://energybillstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/off-g-33.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-227" title="off-g-33" src="http://energybillstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/off-g-33.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="186" /></a>The bill for <strong><em>$912.43</em></strong> was the last straw. One look at it, and I got red in the face and shouted&#8230;</p>
<blockquote style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-size: large; color: #006600;"><em>&#8220;This is outrageous! Who do these utility companies think they are? These leeches think they can jack up the price whenever they feel like it? I&#8217;m sick and tired of it!&#8221;</em></span></strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">To calm me down, my wife suggested that we look at <strong><em>alternative energy sources</em></strong>. &#8220;If we can&#8217;t live without electricity,&#8221; she said, &#8220;maybe we can give less of our money to the utility company.&#8221;<span id="more-226"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But when we got bids for an alternative system from local contractors,<strong><em> </em></strong>I got hopping mad all over again. <strong>$20,000 for a 10 kilowatt windmill?</strong> $10,000 for a bare bones solar system? <em>I<strong>t would take almost FOUR YEARS before our utility savings would offset the cost!</strong></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So we decided on a <strong>less expensive way </strong>&#8211; <em><strong>the do-it-yourself way</strong></em>. Luckily Ann and I ran across an <strong><a href="http://www.energybillstoday.com/go/earth4energy.php" target="_blank">excellent DIY manual that showed us how to construct our own alternate energy system: Earth4Energy</a></strong>. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">(Note: You MUST check with your city or village hall about permits, especially if you want to put up a wind turbine. Also weather plays a big role in how much power you can generate on your own.)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-large; font-family: Arial;"> Benefits of Solar Energy</span></strong></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With the big photos and step-by-step instructions in <strong><a href="http://www.energybillstoday.com/go/earth4energy.php" target="_blank">Earth4Energy</a></strong>, I jumped into the  project. I have to admit that getting even with the utility company was a big motivator for me. </span>But <a href="http://www.energybillstoday.com/go/earth4energy.php" target="_blank"><strong>Earth4Energy</strong></a> soon showed me that you can become completely independent of the whole corrupt energy distribution system&#8230; and help the entire planet in the process!</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #006600;">&#8220;Go Off Grid And Stop Being Dependent On Corrupt Bureaucrats, Greedy CEOs, And An Energy Supply System That Bleeds You Dry!&#8221;</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">With electricity and fuel costs climbing at an alarming rate, living off grid means you won&#8217;t be a slave to &#8220;the system.&#8221; You won&#8217;t be dependent on corrupt government officials or greedy CEOs for the ability to heat your home, cook your food, or light your life! <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Who wants to be at the mercy of dwindling non-renewable resources, global warming, tightening government control, and CEOs who don&#8217;t know the meaning of a dollar? I sure don&#8217;t. The <a href="http://www.energybillstoday.com/go/earth4energy.php" target="_blank"><strong>Earth4Energy</strong></a> manual showed me that you don&#8217;t need to have a Ph.D. in Engineering </span>to build your own <a href="http://www.energybillstoday.com/go/earth4energy.php" target="_blank"><strong>solar panel system</strong></a> or <a href="http://www.makeownenergysource.com/wind-power.php"><strong>wind turbine</strong></a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But what really got to me is that it doesn&#8217;t matter whether you&#8217;re in a congested urban area or on a large acreage&#8230; you <em>can </em>practice off grid living. Simply start small, the way the <a href="http://www.energybillstoday.com/go/earth4energy.php" target="_blank"><strong>Earth4Energy</strong></a> manual shows you, and build on it.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #006600;"><em><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>If you&#8217;re fed up with the utility companies manipulating and gouging you for every penny, get started on your own &#8220;living off the grid&#8221; mission. </strong></span></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.energybillstoday.com/go/earth4energy.php" target="_blank"><strong>Earth4Energy</strong></a> manual showed me that there&#8217;s a lot more to &#8220;living clean and green&#8221; than dumping a few boxes, cans and jars into the recycling bin. </span>If a born and raised &#8220;city dude&#8221; like me can go off grid, so can you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fed up with high electricity bills?</p>
<p>Do you want to know more about methods of saving electricity and ways to save money on your next electric bill?</p>
<p>Do you want to go green and be kinder to the enrivornment whilst leaving you and your family more money to spend on the things you enjoy in life ?</p>
<p>Read on for our top tips on how to save electricity in the home and make paying for electricity a thing of the past.</p>
<p>Here are the best tips for saving electricty in your home and cutting your home electricity costs to zero!</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Make your own electricity at home</strong> -  By building a simple DIY home made power plant you can generate enough electricity to power all major electrical appliances in your house. You can either build a solar power system using solar panels and cells or use a wind turbine to harness wind energy. Better still, build both for maximum savings and electricity generation capabilities and go off grid comletely. Never pay for electricity again. Get started for under $200. <a title="Make Electricity at Home" href="http://energybillstoday.com/how-to-generate-electricity/how-to-make-electricity-at-home">Click here for more information</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Computers</strong> - Turn off your computer monitor. Even when we turn off the computer, most monitors are powered by a different plug. Be sure to turn off the monitor as well as the computer and don&#8217;t leave on standby.</li>
<li><strong>Fridges</strong> - Let hot food cool to room temperature before putting it in the fridge. Placing hot food straight into the fridge will increase the temperature in the fridge thus requiring more electricity and power to bring the fridge temperature down.</li>
<li><strong>Lighting</strong> - Use compact flourescent light bulbs (CFL) instead of regular light bulbs for all your home lighting. While they may cost slightly more to buy, they use less power and electricity over the long term and will result in lower electricity bills.</li>
<li><strong>Laundry</strong> - By ensuring you have a full load every time you use the washing machine, you&#8217;ll perform less loads and use less electricity. If you have a tumble dryer, set it to dry your clothes after midnight. Most electricity companies charge less during the early hours or non-peak demand times, thus you&#8217;ll pay lower electricity costs for your laundry.</li>
<li><strong>Televisions</strong> - Turn your TV off at the wall. Even leaving it on standby consumes power. Don&#8217;t believe the myth that states you use more electricity turning it on and off then leaving it in standby. Same goes for your radios, games consoles and other electrical appliances that operate on standby. It all adds up.</li>
<li><strong>Insulation</strong> - ensure your home has adequate loft or attic insulation. As heat rises it escapes through the roof. If you have an electric heater or air conditioning system it will use more power and electricity if your house is poorly insulated.</li>
</ol>

<p>As one of the renewable energy sources, <strong>Solar Power</strong> has long interested me in my efforts to <strong>go green</strong>, <strong>reduce electricity bills</strong> and give me another project to concentrate on. Recently, I&#8217;ve been reading and using the <a title="Earth4Energy.com" href="http://energybillstoday.com/go/earth4energy-solar.php" target="_blank"><strong>Earth4Energy manual</strong></a>, a downloadable ebook that provides detailed step by step instructions on <strong>how to build your own solar panel power system</strong> that can be used to <strong>generate electricity at home</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 align="center" class="style1 style1">I had  spent $464 and still didn’t know how to install  Solar Panels.</h2>
<p align="center" class="style1 style1">&nbsp;</p>
<p>Considering I knew very little about <strong>do it yourself solar panels</strong> before reading the book I&#8217;m absolutely delighted that I have just finished <strong>building a solar panel</strong> for the first time and its already starting to generate power for my home.</p>
<p>  I&#8217;m now reading about networking a number of <strong>solar panels</strong> together in order to <strong>generate more electricity </strong>in the hope that i can <strong>go off grid</strong> forever and <strong>never pay another electricity bill again</strong>, and it&#8217;s all thanks to the Earth4Energy manual which completely taught me how to do it.</p>
<p>  The <a title="Earth4Energy.com" href="http://energybillstoday.com/go/earth4energy-solar.php" target="_blank"><strong>Earth4Energy</strong></a> manual is a comprehensive guide book aimed at the complete novice interested in learning <strong>how to make a solar panel system</strong> to <strong>create electricity at home</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 align="center" class="style2"><strong>Save yourself $3000 by installing them yourself&nbsp;</strong></h2>
<p align="center" class="style2">&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <a title="Earth4Energy.com" href="http://energybillstoday.com/go/earth4energy-solar.php" target="_blank"><strong>Earth 4 Energy book</strong></a> provides concise information including pictures and diagrams that guides you step by step throughout the construction and installation process. Not only does <strong>Earth4Energy</strong> explain <strong>how to build a solar power system</strong>,  it also offers detailed information on where to get the parts to build your solar power system online, saving you time and money. I managed to get all the kit and items needed delivered to me within a few days and the total cost of materials was just under $190 including delivery!</p>
<div id="attachment_82" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://energybillstoday.com/go/earth4energy-solar.php" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-82" title="earth4energy" src="http://energybillstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/earth4energy.gif" alt="Earth4Energy" width="150" height="186" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Earth4Energy</p></div>
<p>  Now, I&#8217;m not really technically minded so I was chuffed with the way the <strong>Earth4Energy book</strong> was laid out and worded, and you can see that the author has taken a lot of time in writing the book with people like me in mind and the fact that I&#8217;ve <strong>build a solar power system</strong> as instructed in the book is testament to the book and the authors success - as well as my determination;)</p>
<p>  All in, if you are interested in <strong>creating electricity from sunlight</strong> using solar panels and you want to build a solar panel system to power your home I would highly recommend the <strong>Earth4Energy manual</strong>. </p>
<ul>
<li>Build a Solar Panel Power System for your home</li>
<li>Make Electricity from sunlight</li>
<li>Save on electricity bills</li>
<li>Be Kind to the environment</li>
</ul>
<h2 align="center" class="style1">Did I mention this saves $3000? </h2>
<p align="center" class="style1">&nbsp;</p>
<p>The great part about this is that you can save a lot of money by  installing and wiring the solar panels yourself. Trust me, once you&#8217;ve  been shown how to do it the rest is easy&#8230; it&#8217;s getting someone who  can explain it without using rocket scientist lingo. </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The <a href="http://energybillstoday.com/go/earth4energy-solar.php" target="_blank"><strong>Earth4Energy</strong></a> guide makes an ideal project to undertake alone or with kids who are interested in <strong>how to generate electricity</strong> and we highly recommend you download the manual today and take advantage of the current discount of $40 off the regular price.</p>

Don&#8217;t believe the myth that states you use more electricity turning it on and off then leaving it in standby. Same goes for your radios, games consoles and other electrical appliances that operate on standby. It all adds up.</li>
<li><strong>Insulation</strong> - ensure your home has adequate loft or attic insulation. As heat rises it escapes through the roof. If you have an electric heater or air conditioning system it will use more power and electricity if your house is poorly insulated.</li>
<li><strong>Make your own electricity</strong> - From as little as $150 you could <a title="Build your own solar panel" href="http://energybillstoday.com/solar-power/how-to-build-solar-panels-and-create-solar-energy" target="_self">build your own solar panel</a> or <a title="Build a wind turbine" href="http://energybillstoday.com/wind-power/wind-turbines/how-to-make-a-wind-turbine" target="_self">build a wind turbine</a> to make your own electricity. Use this to power home electrical appliances and cut down your dependency on electricity companies, ultimately lowering your electricity costs.</li>

<p>If like me you&#8217;re growing tired of high electricity prices and rising household bills you&#8217;ll be pleased to know about a couple of ebooks I&#8217;ve stumbled across that have been written and designed to teach us how to make electricity at home.</p>
<p>The process is simple. Construct either a solar panel power system or wind turbine and harness the power of renewable energy sources such as sunlight and wind to generate elecricity and power your home or business electrical appliances.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a title="Earth 4 Energy" href="http://www.energybillstoday.com/go/earth4energy-1.php" target="_blank"><img title="Earth4Energy" src="http://energybillstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/earth4energy.gif" alt="Earth4Energy" width="150" height="186" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Earth4Energy</p></div>
<p>While the process sounds simple, the methodoly has often been baffling to even the most scientific of minds, but now with the ebooks <strong><a title="Earth 4 Energy" href="http://www.energybillstoday.com/go/earth4energy-1.php" target="_blank">Earth 4 Energy</a><a title="Home Made Energy" href="http://www.energybillstoday.com/go/homemadeenergy-1.php" target="_blank"> Home Made Power Plant</a></strong> and  the process has been simplified and delivered in an easy to understand manual that even we could understand and follow and that&#8217;s saying something.</p>
<p><a title="Earth 4 Energy" href="http://www.energybillstoday.com/go/earth4energy-1.php" target="_blank"><strong>Earth4Energy.com </strong></a>is seemingly setting alight the green world by providing people with an instruction manual on how you or I can generate our own electricity at home. By building a solar panel power system or constructing a wind turbine for your home, you can dramatically lower your electricity costs by producing your own power and the Earth4Energy.com EBook shows you how to do it step by step.</p>
<p>The <a title="Earth 4 Energy" href="http://www.energybillstoday.com/go/earth4energy-1.php" target="_blank"><strong>Earth 4 Energy</strong> </a>manual is a 74 page guide that gets you through the complete process in building either a solar panel power system or wind turbine and provides detailed instructions and diagrams in terms that even the layman can understand. The cost of conversion to power all my household appliances  was around <strong>$160</strong> (Obviously the guide tells you where to get the materials from). Considering once your system is built and installed properly you&#8217;ll be saving thousands on your household or business electricity bills, it&#8217;s a sure fire investment that is guaranteed to not only be a fun and interesting project for you to build but also a practical project that will save you money in the long term as well as help protect our environment.    Right now, I&#8217;m saving around <strong>$250+ </strong>per month and feeling pretty good about the savings and doing my share for the environment.</p>
<blockquote><p>By using the renewable energy resources of sunlight and wind power you&#8217;ll reduce your dependency on fossil fuel derived electiricity which pollutes the atmosphere in its generation. Go green now and build your own home power system with the Earth4Energy.com manual.</p></blockquote>
<p>In Conclusion, I highly recommend buying <strong><a title="Earth 4 Energy" href="http://www.energybillstoday.com/go/earth4energy-1.php" target="_blank">Earth4Energy</a></strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the world slowly moving to the much-dreaded energy crisis, it is important that we reduce our dependency on non-renewable sources of energy. Non-renewable sources being renewable are about to get extinct. Renewable energy solutions refer to those energy solutions that can keep churning energy without exhausting the resources. Three types of energy solutions fall into the category of renewable energy solutions: solar energy solutions, hydro energy solutions, and wind energy solutions.<span id="more-23"></span></p>
<p>Solar energy solutions: The sun’s energy is the most abundant energy available on earth. Make use of this free energy. You can employ solar power solutions at home. This will not only cut down power bills but also help you contribute to a greener world. Solar power solutions comprise of solar cookers, solar heating systems, solar lighting systems, solar dryers etc.</p>
<p>The sun has always been a source of heat energy and light energy. With the advancement of technology, the sun’s energy can be used to create other forms of energy.</p>
<p>The solar energy systems have many advantages apart from being cost-effective and environment-friendly. They are low on maintenance thus saving your time and effort. Also, solar systems give you a return on investment very soon, thus making the systems free after some time. Cooking with solar energy is also considered extremely healthy. Families have started employing solar energy as a power solution at their homes.</p>
<p>Hydro energy solutions: The hydro energy or water energy is an effective renewable energy. One can convert the hydro energy into electrical energy to run vehicles and various electrical appliances. Hydro energy is typically generated on a large scale. It has been estimated that 90 percent of the electrical energy produced by renewable resources is produced solely by hydro power. Dams are built to help generate electricity by tapping the water power.</p>
<p>There have been some concerns about using this energy because it is supposed to adversely affect the water-borne flora and fauna.</p>
<p>Wind energy solutions: Windmills were in existence even in the years before the birth of Christ. They helped tow boats and pump water. Eventually, post-industrialization, they became a source for generating electricity.</p>
<p>Windmills and wind turbines have never been passé. Wind energy can help generate tonnes of megawatts of electricity. When employed at individual estates, it can help do away with conventional power sources. An excellent renewable source of energy, the wind energy will go a long way in promising a good future to generations to come.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all learned about the renewable and non-renewable sources of energy in school. However, we never paid much attention to the rapid consumption of the non-renewable sources of energy until recently. The world is faced with severe energy crisis now and none of us remain unaffected anymore. Should we leave everything to the governments, or can we do something to save power? The answer is simple: we can.<span id="more-27"></span></p>
<p><strong>Let us look at how you can save power at home.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Computer:</strong> More often than not, we do not switch off our monitors even after we have shut down our computers. Keep the monitor and the computer switched off when you are not using them. Start practicing this even when at work. You will help save some more power for the world.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Light bulbs:</strong> You must have seen compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs being advertised all the time. You must have even used them at times. As a power-saving measure, start using the CFL light bulbs as much as you can. If you are thinking they are more expensive than the regular bulbs, the benefits of the CFL bulbs will prove much more cost-effective in the long turn by the amount of power they will save.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Air Conditioner:</strong> Set the temperature at the minimum or maximum best you are comfortable with, depending on the season. Try not to set it at too high or too low temperatures. Setting the air conditioner at reasonable temperatures helps save a lot of energy.</p>
<p><strong>Washing Machines:</strong> Do you use your washing machine as often as you want? Do you use your washing machine even when there are not enough clothes to wash? Minimize the number of washes by washing full load of clothes every time.</p>
<p><strong>Television:</strong> Take off the power plug of your television set when not using it. This may not sound a big deal but this tiny step will help save power.</p>
<p><strong>Geysers:</strong> Keep the geyser thermostat at the minimum heat. You do not need to heat the water at a very high temperature or for too long.</p>
<p><strong>Refrigerator:</strong> Bring hot food to room temperatures before putting it into the refrigerator. You can also save power by taking cold or frozen food out of the refrigerator much before the mealtime, thereby saving power in heating it.</p>
<p><strong>Car:</strong> For an air-conditioner equipped car, pull up the windows of your car before switching on the air-conditioner.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The shortage of power, the rapid consumption of non-renewable energy, the ever-increasing demand for power supply, the daily warnings about our environment are enough signs to tell us that it’s time we do something. So, what can we do? For starters, how about living off the grid? If I have startled you with that proposition, let me tell you that living off the grid not only helps the environment and helps save power; it also cuts down our electricity bill substantially. Now, that’s a tangible benefit apart from all the good you will do to the world. Trust me, you will feel good doing this.<span id="more-19"></span></p>
<p>Let us first study the advantages of living off the grid.<br />
• Reduced dependability on exhausting resources: Who wants to depend on public utilities all the time? Living off the grid helps you rely only on your resources and not the ones supplied by governments or corporations. How often have you cursed when faced with a power outage in the midst of some important work or a party? Wouldn’t you like to take charge of such factors affecting you life? With alternate power solutions, you can.<br />
• Freedom of usage of naturally available resources: How would you feel when you don’t have to pay for the power you use? Wouldn’t it be delightful to use as much power as you want without worrying about the electricity meter? You can make use of the abundant power available in the nature to light up your home and make your food. The solar power solutions and the wind power solutions are the answers to your power quest (well, literally!).<br />
• Reduced power costs, helping save your money: How would you feel if the electricity bills stop coming in your letter box? The alternate power solutions give you a return on investment very soon, thus making the power supply to your home eventually free!<br />
• Making way for a healthier environment: Don’t you bless the people who planted trees years ago not expecting them to miraculously grow? They planted those trees for the future generations. Make the future of your future generations secure by giving them a greener, healthier world. Cut down on the usage of non-renewable sources of energy. Try to use water minimally. There is not much drinking water left for the next generations.</p>
<p>If you are thinking it is not very feasible to live off the grid, look for alternate power solutions and you will be surprised to learn that they are not only cost-effective but also extremely feasible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the term suggests, bio-fuels are fuels that are formed when biological matter decomposes. The bio-fuels are mostly derived from plants. Bio-fuels exist in all the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.</p>
<p>Difference between bio-fuels and fossil fuels<br />
Bio-fuels are different from fossil fuels in the following ways:<span id="more-16"></span><br />
• Fossil fuels take a million years to build whereas bio-fuels can be made extremely fast, in a matter of days.<br />
• Fossil fuels generate huge amounts of pollution. Bio-fuels are comparatively safer.<br />
• Bio-fuels are renewable sources of energy unlike fossil fuels.</p>
<p>Different types of bio-fuels<br />
Bio-fuels have been categorized into four types: first generation, second generation, third generation, and fourth generation.</p>
<p>The first generation bio-fuels are derived from vegetable fats, starch, and sugar, which are in turn derived from food-crops. The first generation fuels are also derived from animal fats. Biogas, bio-diesel, and vegetable oil are some examples of this type of bio-fuels.</p>
<p>The second generation of bio-fuels is mainly derived from waste biomass, thus making it a more balanced option compared to the first-generation bio-fuels. Different kinds of alcohols and diesel generated from wood fall into the category of second generation bio-fuels.</p>
<p>The third generation comprises of bio-fuels derived from algae. Algae are farmed on large scales for creating these bio-fuels. The algae fuels are extremely environment-friendly as they can easily decompose into the soil without harming it.</p>
<p>The bio-fuels in the fourth generation are derived by a method in which micro-organisms are raised to work with carbon dioxide to generate fuel.</p>
<p>Advantages of bio-fuels<br />
Bio-fuels prove advantageous in the following ways:<br />
• Bio-fuels lessen the burden on gradually-vanishing fossil fuels.<br />
• Bio-fuels are environment-friendly. They help reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere.<br />
• Bio-fuels, especially, bio-diesel prove to be very cost-effective for consumers.</p>
<p>Disadvantages of bio-fuels<br />
Bio-fuels are not bereft of criticism. Though beneficial for the environment, bio-fuels have its disadvantages, paradoxically in the environmental purview. Bio-fuels have received criticism for many reasons, a couple of which are stated below:<br />
• Economists have long debated on the usefulness of first generation bio-fuels when compared to the lack of food they cause. Generating fuel from food crops makes food crops unworthy of human consumption. Some people believe that being a higher priority than fuel, food should not be farmed for making fuels but for human consumption.<br />
• Making bio-fuels require acres of farming land, thus encroaching upon the natural habitat of plants and animals.</p>
