... lobbying by fossil fuel interest groups, then take up of solar power solutions has been understandably slow because the increase in the price of oil hasn't yet started to seriously bite.
However, in countries where government policy is favorable to the widespread adoption of
Renewable energy supplies for a variety of reasons, for example Germany, Japan and India, it's a very different story. Taking Germany as an example, there the
Renewable Energy Sources Act compelled the existing power companies to buy all surplus energy produced by solar power systems at a fixed, above-market price, for 20 years. This ...

renewable energy - the solar shed.
So what's a Solar Shed you ask? Well, for the purpose of this article it's whatever type of garden shed you had before but with power, or more precisely, free solar power. Not to be confused with a glorified potting shed that has glass sides and/or roof (basically a wooden greenhouse) which is sometimes also termed a solar shed on the grounds that it ...

Wood pellet burners are gaining popularity due to their ease of use and automation, but also because they are highly efficient and ecologically sound, recycling otherwise waste products from an already
renewable fuel source - wood. They also attract grants for installation and other incentives and like all other types of wood biomass, wood pellet are specifically exempt from the Climate Change Levy (a tax on energy use aimed at limiting carbon dioxide pollution).
Each of these basic designs may be further considered in ...

The carbon released by a wood burner was taken from the atmosphere in the first place by the tree that provided the wood - that's how trees make themselves; carbon dioxide plus solar energy (sunlight). When grown and harvested as a
renewable resource, the trees planted today to replace the ones used as biofuel in wood burning stoves will again absorb exactly the same amount of carbon dioxide as is released by the burning process. This can be managed as an endlessly sustainable, balanced cycle that produces almost zero excess CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) by contrast are not in the slightest ...

With gas and oil set to rise remorselessly in the years ahead, installing wood burners starts to look like a very cost effective move, especially when you also factor in the possibility of grants available for switching to bio-fuels (in the UK grants for installing a whole variety of
renewable energy technologies are administered by the Low Carbon Buildings Programme).
Obviously, these figures vary according to your own location. The UK is a densely populated island with accordingly sparse areas of forest and other woodland ...
