About Us

Let us tell you about us and why we have developed about-alternative-energy website !!

The goal of the website is to provide information about all things considered renewable energy. Our goal is to provide you (the visitors) with the best possible information related to alternative energy sources (solar, wind, biomass, biomass, tidal and so forth), green education, renewable energy news, and clean tech investments.

You must wonder why you should pay attention to this website and about us. There are four ideas we want to bring to your attention:

1) To integrate different ideas and conversations in green energy conversation in a cohesive manner;

2) To synthesize the ideas in green energy and actually make them accessible to everyday people all of us can participate in this growing industry and not sit on the sidelines;

3) To help democratize the renewable energy field. Let us explain what we mean by this idea. We strongly feel energy sector needs to be created, developed, and used by the general public (not big businesses and corporate sector only). We are beginning to see what happens when corporate sector dominates energy sector (gulf oil spill, nuclear disasters etc.). The general public pays high price when energy source are not controlled or regulated by the public; and

4) We also understand that it is extremely difficult to participate in emerging renewable energy sector. Therefore, we wanted to create a public/shared space where all of us can actually have a collective voice and converse (and possibly convince) our fellow citizens, legislators, and policy makers to make wise decisions related to renewable energy conversations.

This is a very significant time in the history of mankind when it comes to energy conversations for two reasons: 1) Emerging economies (BRIC nations - Brazil, Russia, India, and China) around the world are beginning to explore alternative energy sources to meet their increasing energy demands; 2) Established economies are interested in reducing their carbon emissions to situate themselves for global carbon trading in the near future.

Through this website and shared space we want to ask questions such as why shouldn't individual households be allowed to get carbon credits after installing renewable energy? Why shouldn't individual households be allowed to pool their carbon credits and operate as a business? It is extremely important for us to understand that policies related to renewable energy sector will guide and shape our futures. Therefore, we need to have an active voice in the growth and development of green industry.

There are many more questions that we will encounter as we forge ahead and we need to act NOW. Our goal is to get the green energy conversation started on this website. So what exactly can you do? Our biggest hope is that you will join this conversation and move it forward.

We will try our best to provide you with every resource possible to not only help you reduce your carbon footprint by using alternative energy but also work with people around the world to take charge of this emerging industry.

We hope you enjoyed reading this about us section. Now is the time for action so join us and spread the word about all things alternative energy!!!
