Fossil fuels provide most of the world’s energy and are the foundation of the past two centuries of economic growth. The issue of climate change poses the first serious challenge to fossil fuels’ primacy.

But a great divide has existed between the mainstream technologies that make up the modern energy industry and the newer "clean" technologies that offer an alternative, low-carbon pathway to the future. This divide encompasses costs, technological maturity and scale of existing infrastructure. ...read more

When I started The Happiness Project blog, something worried me: I feared that people who faced major happiness challenges – like a serious illness, job loss, chronic pain, divorce, addiction, depression – would be put off by this site. Would they think: Who was I to talk about happiness, when everything in my life was fine? How helpful could my views be, unless I faced circumstances that made it very difficult to be happy? ...read more

My beautiful dog, Staci, a shepherd mix, that I’ve had for 13 years, got a terrible infection in her leg last week. I rushed her to the vet and she was diagnosed with cancerous tumor that caused it. I’m so grateful that the antibiotics have worked to clear up the infection, and my beloved companion is back to her usual perky self. She doesn’t have much time to live since this type of cancer spreads pretty quickly. The vet told me, take her home and love and appreciate her for as long as it’s meant to be. I’m being guided as to how to live in the present moment and appreciate the precious time that I have. ...read more

We all love our cars. They give us the freedom to come and go as we please, to get to work, to visit family and friends, to go shopping...on our own schedule. But automobiles also effect the environment by polluting the air we breathe and, in the larger scope of life, by creating unusual and unnatural climate changes.

But there is a simple thing you can do to offset the negative environmental effects of driving your car, and It costs less than $100 per year. ...read more

Cooking with a solar oven is probably the greenest method of preparing your food. It is also one of the most easily accessible forms of solar power.

A solar oven is a device that harnesses sunlight to create heat energy. It doesn’t use any fuel, and it doesn’t cost a thing to operate it. It can help slow down the deforestation and desertification caused by harvesting natural resources which are used in conventional fuel production. ...read more

In thinking of how far we’ve collectively come over the last one hundred years, electricity itself only became widely available in the early 1900’s when the first electric transmission lines were developed. In that one hundred-year period we’ve learned how to utilize the available resources by developing technology that would produce energy and electricity and then transmit it through an electric grid.

This technology was, for its time, the best scenario for energy distribution.  ...read more

The popularity of wind energy is growing with every week that passes, making it one of the most attractive methods for energy generation available. It does not, however, come without its fair share of criticism from both the private sector and those within the traditional energy and scientific communities.

Truth be told, it is the critics of any new policy or system that should be thanked for bringing up the questions that we’d all like to ask and in fact, ones that must be answered in order to move forward. ...read more
