The challenge of how to encourage Americans to switch from fossil fuel producing electricity to solar power has been on the horizon for well over three decades. Several countries in Europe have devised a plan to stimulate people to switch to solar power with the use of a financial technique. The basis of the technique is to pay homeowners and businesses for producing solar energy to create electricity. This payment allows higher payments for solar power rather than electricity produced from fossil fuel and is meant to offset the cost of solar installation as well as create a profit for the homeowner or business owner.

Gainesville, Florida has become the first city in the United States to use this technique to stir up interest in clean, alternative forms of energy saving both the government and citizens money. Other states like Hawaii are hoping to cut the high cost of electricity by incorporating this plan. California, Oregon and Washington are hoping to follow.  In Florida, the effect on the local economy has been quite positive because it’s shifting the subsidy of paying for green energy from the taxpayers to electricity ratepayers. Utility companies have agreed to pay these individual green energy producers for fifteen to twenty five years. In some cities, customers have to wait for installation because the demand is so great.

Sungate Energy Solutions has been helping people find the best way to get returns on installation investments for three decades and they know how to get the job done.

Sungate Energy Solutions Concerns about Sea Life Danger

5Apr

Sungate Energy Solutions has been aware for more than three decades that our oceans are being overloaded with the effects of fossil fuel every day. It’s hard to imagine but our oceans are absorbing twenty two million tons of carbon dioxide constantly. The effect on sea life especially corals, sea stars, and crab is creating havoc in the food chain from the smallest of creatures to sea otters, salmon, and whales. Our oceans and other waterways are becoming so acidic that it’s difficult for anything to survive for very long. The lower PH balance is making it difficult for shelled creatures to grow the outer skeleton that they need for survival.

Scientists know that greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel more than any other source is the center of this crisis. We have alternatives and while change may not be easy, the choice of not using renewable and clean energy will be a voice echoing far into the future.

Everyone can help people make the transition to inexpensive, clean and sustainable solar energy. The options to decrease carbon dioxide from fossil fuel are available. Because you are interested in making a change from fossil fuel based electricity to a home powered by solar, please visit Sungate Energy Solutions for additional information.

As early as the year 2000, the Environmental Protection Bureau (EPA) has been concerned about the effects of global warming on the most vulnerable of our population. The effects of climate change on the elderly are well documented and tragic, but at this time Sungate Energy Solutions will concentrate on the youngest of our population. We will discuss the children of our world at this time.

In 2005, the Children’s Health Advisory Committee called to the attention of the world the effects of climate change regarding children. The committee said that the following is scientifically proven and sadly true. Several key points were made by a large group of scientists, researchers and many members of the medical community. One point was that climate change is real and will affect our children’s health disproportionately. The committee suggested that greenhouse emissions be reduced to stop harming children. The most interesting statement of all at this time was that they suggested the increased need and continued use of fossil fuel was dangerous in that the effects on the health of our children will be irreversible.

The level of harm to our youngsters is at a frightening point. It has been known for some time that the answer to the growing problems regarding pollution can be accomplished in the change to clean, renewable and inexpensive energy sources. Advances in the solar energy technology are happening continually. Sungate Energy Solutions has been helping people one household and one business at a time to transition to electricity produced by solar energy.

Large corporations fight for their rights to use fossil fuel to power their businesses and pollute the earth at the same time. The excuse that is used is the multiple uses of fossil fuel. It can power and heat facilities, run machinery and fuel transportation. While there is technology on the horizon to produce electric energy from sun, wind, and other renewable energy sources, large corporations are short sighted regarding the investment into new technology. In the end the savings on fuel would be a huge investment that would pay them back many times over. Fossil Fuel is getting more expensive every day. Sungate Energy Solutions knows that unless these companies are forced to spend some of their money on serious renewable energy projects, they will not do it on their own.

Yet people are suffering and dying from the results of CO2 in our waterways and air. The consequences of mining for coal, fracking and drilling for oil are outrageous. If we could compare the loss of lives from carbon based emissions to lives lost from non-environmental diseases, it would be interesting to see how those statistics relate. It would be difficult to do this because these numbers are not always diagnosed properly. Yet we can do something and that is to pressure our government and major corporations to live up to promises regarding our environment and making the switch to alternative forms of sustainable and clean energy.

Sungate Energy Solutions is helping people switch to solar energy one household at a time. The responses from people are astounding regarding the low cost of their electric bills as well as how they feel reducing their carbon footprints.  Sungate Energy Solutions has information as to how you can make the change to solar energy to power your home.

In many cases Sungate Energy Solutions sees alternatives to fossil fuel energy as a positive change to carbon based energy. There are pros and cons to geothermal based electricity depending on where the population it’s meant to serve lives. Geothermal is generated and stored far beneath the surface of the earth. It comes from the gasses that were originally formed when the earth was forming and the radioactive decay of minerals was deposited. The difference between the temperature of the earth at its core and the surface of the earth is called the geothermal gradient. There is a lot of geothermal energy beneath the surface of the earth and while there is still some release of greenhouse gasses, it’s still much less than that of fossil fuel energy.

The challenge of geothermal use to create electricity arises from the costs to drill. It’s very expensive to create a geothermal plant and that loss of initial revenue takes a while to make up. As a result, fewer plants can be drilled and maintained. To create single home geothermal wells is also expensive. Add to that the actual destruction of a portion of the homes’ lawns and unsightliness; it isn’t a practical way to get clean, renewable and inexpensive fuel for electricity.

Sungate Energy Systems believes in the practicality of solar energy. Photovoltaic panels can be installed in one to two days for the average sized home and is not an eye sore. There are no carbon footprints once installation is complete. Sungate Energy Solutions has been helping people transition from fossil fuel based electricity to solar energy for more than three decades.

Sungate Energy Solutions Regarding Shale Oil

23Mar

One of the reasons that fuel from organic material will become increasingly expensive is that the process to reach it and extract it from rock is very time consuming and energy intense. The fuel is called shale oil and it has to be mined, crushed and heated in the absence of oxygen. This process is called cracking. After the cracking process, kerogen product is then refined just as crude oil is using another process called fractional distillation. The shale oil is formed the way other biotic oil deposits are formed. Organic matter sinks to the bottom of a body of water where it’s covered over many years by silt. As time goes on, it’s compressed into rock deep beneath to surface of the earth. Sungate Energy Solutions believes that mining all of these deposits will become more of an ecological disaster than we already have.

This is the reason that Sungate Energy Solutions knows that solar energy is the best alternative source of energy for the entire world. The only carbon footprint is from the solar panel manufacturing. Once solar energy is installed, there are no longer any carbon emissions polluting the planet. Please visit Sungate Energy Solutions and call with any questions you may have regarding solar installation. Expert technicians are happy to share information with you.

Bank of America is going green with a new towering building in New York City demonstrating an environmentally friendly skyscraper design. The way the building has been designed, it will use fifty percent less water and electricity. With modern air filtration, it will be a positive contributor to cleaner air.

The walls will be made of glass that will insulate warm and cool air as well as allow for adjustment to electrical lighting automatically based on the amount of light coming in through the windows. The lighting used will be LED or Light Emitting Diode which is extremely efficient. There will be a carbon dioxide monitor so that the air leaving the building will be from filtered air and healthier for the employees of the building. The air will be cleaner leaving the building than when it first came into the building due to the modern filtering system. The conservation of water has been designed to reuse the wash basin water as well as capturing rain water to flush toilets.

The design is not perfect as its use of solar energy is not as integrated into the entire energy system as we would all hope for; but it’s a beginning. Sungate Energy Solutions is happy that large corporate buildings are being built with a greener world as a goal.

The International Energy Agency is an independent worldwide organization that began because of the oil crisis of 1973. When this organization first started because of the determination to find a solution to a possible physical disruption to oil supplies throughout the world, they became a statistical source regarding available oil supplies. Sungate Energy Solutions is secure in the knowledge that the agency has broadened its focus to sound energy policies regarding energy security, economic development and environmental protection. They are concerned about energy and its relation to climate change. As a result, this organization is intensely interested in promoting alternative energy sources.

Sungate Energy Solutions sees the world as one that is shrinking in fossil fuels like petroleum and growing in energy needs. Organizations such as the International Energy Agency have the advantage of seeing things from a worldwide perspective. The IEA has actually stockpiled oil to help with various crises that may occur. They have released oil during the 1993 Gulf War, after Hurricane Katrina and recently in 2011 after Libya’s reduction in oil supply. The IEA, however, is most interested in having a world that no longer relies on fossil fuel.

Sungate Energy Solutions has shared that belief for more than three decades helping property owners and business owners to get off of fossil fuel and switch to solar energy. If you are interested in having a greener life which leaves behind a small carbon footprint, please visit Sungate Energy Solutions.
