It was only with the construction of a national railway system in the middle decades of the 19th century, using coal rather than muscle as its source of mechanical energy, that transport could achieve advances to parallel those already long achieved in the branches of industry in which cheap and abundant heat energy was the key to rapid expansion.

In a new collaborative report, «An Underappreciated Disruptor,» Morgan Stanley's Utility and Clean Tech analyst, Stephen Byrd and Shared Mobility & Auto analyst, Adam Jonas, argue that the price of both solar and wind energy, as well as new storage units, have reached a point where renewable energy can finally become a dependable rather than an unpredictable source of energy.

They see it as a source of hard currency rather than of energy.

Materials chemists have been trying for years to make a new type of battery that can store solar or other light - sourced energy in chemical bonds rather than electrons, one that will release the energy on demand as heat instead of electricity — addressing the need for long - term, stable, efficient storage of solar power.

We sometimes think of food as energy, but it's really an energy source rather than energy itself.

Where the body burns fat as fuel rather than using glucose as its source of energy.

Developing aerobic endurance means that you're training your body to sustain some level of activity for a prolonged period of time, (typically 30 minutes if not much more), and you're utilizing fat as a fuel source rather than glucose (sugar) or some other energy source.

Rather than starving it of calories, you are starving it of carbs, training your whole system to make ketones as your body's main source of energy.

That means rather than using glucose from carbohydrates as its main energy source, the body uses ketones, a byproduct of fat metabolism.

The premise behind this is that it mimics the metabolic state of starvation, at which point rather than using carbohydrates (ie.glucose) for energy, our body produces ketones from fat as an alternate source of energy production.

I know some here will decry that I am not talking about the issues because I do not try to obsfuscate with a discussion of the spot market price of coal vs long - term contracts, or use of coal in locations other than Kansas, or Al Gore's footprint, but the issue of Global Warming IS politics (non-ratification of Kyoto and negative flag - waving ads about politicians who oppose coal), it IS public relations («Clean Coal», cleanest coal - fired plants, surface mining and mountain - top reoval rather than strip mining, etc.), and it IS about misrepresentation (Peobody framing the debate as coal vs NG when it is really coal vs every other energy source), and it IS about greed (the coal industry doing everything it can to scuttle every other energy alternative).

Domestically it would appear that major shifts in the trajectory of greenhouse gas emissions will come as a result of the larger scale development and deployment of lower emitting sources of energy rather than through a climate bill that constrains emissions.

But until we get to those stages, improved energy storage schemes such as hydrogen, could be used to run other sources of electricity, such as nuclear and clean coal plants, as base - load (24 hours a day) rather than cyce to respond to demand requirements.

C. Technically, it is still possible to solve the climate problem, but there are two essential requirements: (1) a simple across - the - board (all fossil fuels) rising carbon fee [2] collected from fossil fuel companies at the domestic source (mine or port of entry), not a carbon price «scheme,» and the money must go to the public, not to government coffers, otherwise the public will not allow the fee to rise as needed for phase - over to clean energy, (2) honest government support for, rather than strangulation of, RD&D (research, development and demonstration) of clean energy technologies, including advanced generation, safe nuclear power.

Often justified largely on the basis of junk science they have come up with such wonderful policy prescriptions as using only unreliable sources of energy because they are «sustainable,» keeping natural resources in the ground rather than using them to meet human needs, having government tell manufacturers what requirements their products must meet to use less energy rather than encouraging manufacturers to meet the needs of their customers, all in the name of «energy efficiency,» substituting government dictates for market solutions on any issue related to energy use, and teaching school children junk science that happens to meet «environmentalists» ideological beliefs in hopes of perpetuating these beliefs to future generations even though they do not conform to the scientific method, the basis of science.

The warmer body cools more slowly as a result because a ready source of energy from incident radiation is quicker to just «reflect» back into the atmosphere, rather than have to convert its own thermal energy to radiated energy.
