Alternative Energy Links and Resources

This is going to be one of my smaller posts. I realized while I was researching my point for the Ethanol Simulation project that there are a lot of websites and organizations devoted to the research of and education about alternative energy.

http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/

This website is basically just a collection of news links to things about renewable energy. It has a google-powered search engine and it seems like there is a lot of information, although some of it should probably be taken with a grain of salt because it is 'news' and its on a biased website. There are a lot of ads as well, but the content appears to be very broad and well organized.

Associated with the Alternative Energy Institute, this website provides educational information about various types of alternative energy, including wind, solar, and water energy, as well as information about renewable and non-renewable energy sources.

This website is associated with the California Energy Commission. It was last updated in 2005, so there is some recent information or statistics that may be missing, but it provides a "Student's Guide" to alternative energy and fuels, as well as alternative fuel vehicles.

This is a link to the National Corn Growers Association. They are an organization that promotes education about agriculture and its role in alternative energy. It also has information about ethanol and its impact on the environment and the economy.

Another blog about alternative energy. Includes news updates and analyses about alternative energy. Also has some nice pictures and full-length news stories.
