] At the core of most proposals is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through reducing energy waste and switching to cleaner energy sources. Frequently discussed energy conservation methods include increasing the fuel efficiency of vehicles (often through hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric cars and improving conventional automobiles), individual-lifestyle changes and changing business practices. Newly [...]

The varieties of hybrid electric designs can be differentiated by the structure of the hybrid vehicle drivetrain, the fuel type, and the mode of operation. In 2007, several automobile manufacturers announced that future vehicles will use aspects of hybrid electric technology to reduce fuel consumption without the use of the hybrid drivetrain. Regenerative braking can [...]
Brazil’s ethanol program started in 1975, when soaring oil prices put a chokehold on the economy. In response, the country’s military rulers launched an effort to free themselves from foreign oil, which then accounted for almost 90% of oil consumption, by developing innovative fuels. Ethanol made from sugar cane was an obvious candidate, given Brazil’s [...]
The definition of an energy source is not rigorous. Anything that can provide energy to anything else can qualify. Wood in a stove is full of potential thermal energy; in a car, mechanical energy is acquired from the combustion of gasoline, and the combustion of coal is converted from thermal to mechanical, and then to [...]
Alternative technologies include the following: * Anaerobic digestion * Composting * Fuel cells * Fuels for automobiles (besides gasoline and diesel) ** Alcohol (either ethanol or methanol) ** Biodiesel ** Vegetable oil * Greywater * Solar panels ** Silicon-based ** Photosynthetic “Gratzel cells” (Titanium dioxide) * Landfill gas extraction from landfills * Mechanical biological treatment [...]
Following the traditions of his politically active family from an early age, Joel Sheltrown served as an Ogemaw Township Trustee from 1978-1988 and as the Ogemaw Township Supervisor from 2000-2004.

ArtBound ArtBound started at Southbound 2006, as a showcase of works from the local art community. EcoBound EcoBound displayed how recyclable materials and alternative energy were implemented to reduce the environmental impact of the festival. Solar power and biodiesel were used to meet energy needs. StageBound StageBound gave unsigned artists an opportunity to perform at [...]
Mandates for blending biofuels into vehicle fuels have been enacted in 17 countries at the national level and at least 36 states/provinces. Most mandates require blending 10–15 percent ethanol with gasoline or blending 2–5 percent biodiesel with diesel fuel. Adapted from the Wikipedia article Renewable energy policy, under the G. N. U. Free Documentation License. [...]
