Virtual Mainstreet: About Uranium
http://www.virtualipo.com/uranium.shtml
Uranium is a dense silvery-gray metal well known for being radioactive. Uranium oxide was used to color yellow glass in the first-century Roman Empire. The practice was recommenced using pitchblende (uranium ore) in central Europe in the Middle Ages. When Antoine Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity in 1896, it was from a sample of uranium fogging an unused photographic plate. Uranium was therefore known to give off some kind of invisible radiation. In the early 20. Uranium occurs naturally in small ...

Hydroelectric power from dams is the most important method, but other sources include tides, waves, and miscellaneous less common sources. Water power is sustainable because it comes ultimately from the sun's energy driving the water cycle of rain and evaporation. Stand athwart most of the major rivers of the world. Although dams are built in part to control flooding and manage water supplies,...

Clean Tech Funder: Ethanol Fuel
http://www.virtualjournal.com/ethanol-fuel.shtml
Ethanol fuel is ordinary drinkable alcohol used as a fuel source. It is a renewable resource derived from plants, unlike gasoline, to which it is often blended. Ethanol is used extensively as a fuel in the United States and Brasil. Ethanol has significant differences in chemistry vs. gasoline, and an internal combustion engine tuned well for one is not tuned for the other. However, blended fuels are a mixture of both, and flexible fuel vehicles can change their parameters to handle either. Most gasoline ...

Clean Tech Funder: About Thorium
http://www.virtualjournal.com/thorium.shtml
Thorium is found in the mineral now called thorite. In 1828, Swedish chemist Jöns Jakob Berzelius received a black rock from mineralogist Jens Esmark, a rock found by Jens' son Morten. Berzelius concluded that the mineral rock contained a new element, which he named thorium after the god Thor. Thorium is a radioactive element, but one of the most stable. Its half-life of 14 billion years exceeds the age of the earth, and so quantities of thorium, like uranium. Phosphates that also contains about 6-12% th...

Clean Tech Funder: Geothermal Power
http://www.virtualjournal.com/geothermal.shtml
Geothermal power is electricity generated from heat extracted from the earth. Geothermal power is possible in locations with volcanoes, hot springs, or magma hot spots. This amounts to regions with tectonic activity, such as the Pacific rim, Africas Great Rift Valley, and Iceland. Geothermal power has the advantage of being consistent, unlike other alternative sources such as solar and wind. Operating costs are low, as mentioned, although the initial exploration and drilling may be expensive.

Clean Tech Funder: About Plutonium
http://www.virtualjournal.com/plutonium.shtml
The state of chemistry around 1930 was that almost all of the elements in the periodic table. Had been found. Every element in the table has a number, and it was known by then that this atomic number is that element's number of protons. The highest atomic number known was 92, uranium. But, might heavier elements exist or be created? In ordinary times, the trace amount of the new element would be carefully analyzed over the course of years. But, this was wartime. One isotope (variant) of plutonium...The p...
