"Green living is no longer for a select
few — we simply can't afford it to be. Our idea is to
build homes that are efficient, comfortable, healthy and attractive
all at the same time, and that offer people-friendly, and earth-friendly
features and options. All of these things make a home last longer
and appreciate faster. And nothing is greener than that."

America is in a hole
and it's getting deeper every day. We import 70% of our oil
at a cost of $700 billion a year - four times the annual cost
of the Iraq war.
I've been an oil
man all my life, but this is one emergency we can't drill our
way out of. But if we create a new renewable energy network,
we can break our addiction to foreign oil.

In 2003,
a determined team of entrepreneurs, scientists, and engineers
from around the world joined forces with a mission to introduce
commercially viable, clean hydrogen fuel cell power. Adopting
a global approach from the start, the newly formed international
team founded Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies in Singapore and
established its production facilities in Shanghai. The company
is now expanding internationally through localized partnerships
in Japan, Latin America, North America, and Europe.
The
company's overall vision is aligned with world, national, and
scientific leaders seeking to eliminate mankind's reliance on
carbon-based fuels in favor of clean, low-cost energy for all
the planet's citizens, generated from climate-friendly and renewable
resources. By choosing the heart of the world’s fastest
growing economy as a main base of operations, the company is
at the forefront of change and a prime witness to world-scale
energy and environmental challenges.
In addition
to achieving a series of technological breakthroughs, Horizon
has built a comprehensive technology and manufacturing platform
capable of viably introducing fuel cells into early commercial
markets. After providing a first glimpse of its possibilities
with the successful worldwide launch of its first fuel cell
powered consumer products, the company has now emerged as a
world leading producer of high performance PEM fuel cells and
electrolyzers.
Today,
Horizon is producing extremely compact, lightweight, simple
and cost-competitive PEM fuel cells that are suitable for many
specialty and mainstream applications, including portable power,
aerospace and clean transportation solutions.

The Alternative Fuels
and Advanced Vehicles Data Center (AFDC, formerly known as the
Alternative Fuels Data Center) provides a wide range of information
and resources to enable the use of alternative fuels (as defined
by the Energy Policy Act of 1992), in addition to other petroleum
reduction options such as advanced vehicles, fuel blends, idle
reduction, and fuel economy.
This site is sponsored
by the U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities initiative.
http://www.fueleconomy.gov/Feg/current.shtml
Alternative fuels
are derrived from resources other than petroleum. Some are produced
domestically, reducing our dependence on imported oil, and some
are derived from renewable sources. Often, they produce
less pollution than gasoline or diesel.

Before you begin
to convert your automobile or truck engine to use alcohol, it's
important that you understand the properties of - and the differences
between - the two fuels.
http://hawaii.gov/dbedt/ert/activitybook/fs-alcohol.html
Alcohol fuels are
made from renewable resources like locally grown crops and even
waste products such as waste paper or grass and tree trimmings.
Methanol and Ethanol are two types of alcohol fuels used in
cars. Ethanol can be produced from a variety of renewable resources,
most commonly corn and sugarcane. Methanol can be made from
renewable resources also, but today, methanol is primarily made
from natural gas. |
