Artificial Reefs are the Results of Wave Energy and Offshore Wind Power
Renewable energy is creating an artificial reef. The structures for wave and offshore wind energy are likely going to increase the volume of fish in the surrounding of these various technologies. These mega structures create a reef-like environment which encourages crabs, barnacles, blue mussels and other fish to gather around the design. This was [...]

Solution for Limited Land: Bio-fuel can Be Grown at Sea
The greatest restraint for bio-fuel as an alternative source of energy is the land it occupies. However, seaweeds can be planted at sea. Bio-fuel has hardly taken-off the ground due the massive land that it will require. It would produce social and environmental cost as deforestation would be one its hindrances for success. The price of [...]

Renewable Energy why speak about Nuclear Energy?
Alternative energy has many connotations and sources. The supply of renewable energy is categorized as an infinite yet in face of oil crisis nuclear energy is considered as one. Environmental or economic May-day conditions should be a viable camouflage to categorise nuclear as a renewable source of energy. It is delusionary to present nuclear [...]
