In February 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was enacted, creating a renewable energy grant program. The United States Department of Treasury oversees the program, and offers cash grants instead of federal business energy investment tax credits.

In July 2009, documents which detailed all deadlines for these new renewable energy grants became available. The details released by the United States Department of Treasury included terms, conditions of the grants and a sample application. Those who wish to apply will be able to undergo an initial online application process.

Although our own US companies can't make a good electric, at least there seems to be a pretty amazing one on the horizon,  coming from a Chinese company you probably haven't heard of yet, called BYD.

The E6 from BYD motors is a completely environmentally friendly vehicle, with zero pollution and low noise output. Scheduled to go into production in 2010, this vehicle may change the way you think about electric cars.

Here are a few of it's features:

• All chemical substances used in the Fe battery can be recycled.
• Eectrical power consumption: less than 18wh / 100km (62 mi)

While there is great talk about renewable energy sources and their great advantages, there is usually very little chat about the advantages of non-renewable energy. The main advantages of non-renewable energy pertain to cost and availability. Currently, renewable sources cannot compete with non-renewable energy source's cost and availability.

When you go car shopping, you may realize how non-renewable sources of energy are much more available. You may long to examine cars which run off of battery power, solar power or even electricity. It won't be easy to find such a vehicle at the price you want to pay.

There is so much talk about solar energy and even wind energy, it is surprising the idea of tidal and wave power is going by the wayside. Granted, tidal and wave power is not of major interest to those communities which are located on islands.

But, for coastal residents, this could be a prime source of alternative energy. Nevertheless, with the focus being primarily on solar energy, the other kinds of energy generation appear to have been forgotten.

Ecological novices don't always understand what renewable energy means. Like man go green fads before this time, it may just be a new idea could come and go with ease. To sit down and face realism, this source of energy is up to much stipulation from the government. The definition of renewable energy is simple; it is a form of energy that is replaced with any physical or unnatural interferences.

In the 1980s, renewable energy were hailed as the clean energy source of tomorrow. This was called into question almost as soon as it was asserted, and as a result, nuclear energy options were taken off the table in a large number of communities. Residents cite a fear of radiation as one of the main reasons why they do not want to have this kind of technology sitting in their neighborhoods or close by.
