series. This page is updated as new articles

RE-SOURCES: Energy Fairs (Issue 123, Feb/Mar '08)
Spring and summer bring us renewal after a
long winter—and what better time to renew your
interest in energy? Renewable energy fairs
offer the perfect opportunity to get the scoop
on the latest gear, take advantage of
educational workshops, and tap into local RE
expertise in a casual, festive atmosphere.
Most events are family-friendly, with
activities to kindle young onesī interest in
all things solar. Admission prices are
friendly as well—for the cost of a night at
the movies, you can get your solar start, have
a great time with other like-minded folks, and
maybe even walk away with sweet deals on  renewable energy equipment.


RE-SOURCES: Biofuels (Issue 117, Feb/Mar '07)
From vegetable-oil-based biodiesel to ethanol
alcohol made from corn or other plants, it’s
getting easier to be greener on the go. Here
are some resources that can help you on your
way to cleaning up your car’s pollution. Not
only will you reduce your vehicle’s emissions
and reliance on foreign oil, but in many cases
you’ll be helping support American farmers and
local businesses. Finally, a wheel revolution
you can really get behind!

RE-SOURCES: Wind Power (Issue 116, Dec/Jan '07)
Do you want to learn more about wind-electric
system siting, design, and installation? Wind
energy is not the easiest resource to tap, and
history is littered with examples of failures
in design and implementation. The resources
listed here will steer you in the right
direction, so your experience with wind energy
can be enjoyable and successful!

RE-SOURCES: Global Cooling (Issue 115, Oct/Nov '06)
A blanket of atmospheric greenhouse gases,
mostly carbon dioxide (CO2), is what keeps our
planet warm and habitable. But our dependence
on fossil fuels for everything from home
heating to fueling our vehicles is getting us
into trouble, as burning fuel releases
excessive amounts of CO2 and other pollutants
into the air. These added gases are making the
blanket too thick— kind of like leaving the
winter quilt on the bed during the summer
months. And this warm-up is melting polar ice,
raising sea levels, and changing weather
patterns around the world.
