Plumber
A harsh winter can take a serious toll on a residential plumbing system. In addition to cold temperatures, months of heavy use can result in sediment buildup, damaged insulation, rust, mold, and a variety of other issues. This is why all homeowners should take some time every spring to make sure their plumbing system is running as efficiently as possible.

The days in which the world is powered by carbon fuel sources like coal and oil will eventually pass. These fuels are finite and will someday run out. They also cause pollution. However, there are other industries that have developed around renewable resources. These resources are plentiful and far cleaner than non-renewable resources. These are the fuel sources of both the present and the future. (more…)
Rightfully, we regard the concept of geo-engineering with considerable

A dear friend sent me this Ted-X talk the other day, with this note: Since you do positioning work for your clients, I thought you’d love this.
Well, love it I did. Here’s my first crack at applying this to 2GreenEnergy. I hope readers will check this out; it’s great presentation with a powerful take-away.

Energy, Food, and Water
We’re all familiar with the so-called “energy/water/food nexus,” i.e., the interdependence of these three elements. For example, energy is required to purify water, as well as to pump it to where it’s needed to irrigate land to grow food. Plants require nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous (as well as 50+ trace minerals), and the process of creating this fertilizer requires energy. There are actually dozens of different ways these items play off against one another. (more…)
Environmental studies is a multifaceted degree path, generally available as either a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or S

The $0.02 figure only exists in certain small pockets of the US where demand is especially low and supply is especially high. The PTC (or something like it) is needed to continue the expansion of wind–but not forever. We’ve been subsidizing the oil industry, the most profitable business sector in the history of humankind, for the last 90 years. The PTC can be shut off far sooner than that.
