Earth, Wind, and Fire: Harnessing Nature for Energy

About Me

Consuming energy is an unavoidable part of life. Even if you move off the grid or work hard at consuming as little as possible, you still need a bit of energy. While most of the world's energy comes from fossil fuels, there are other options. Hi! My name is Yvette, and I've always been interested in all forms of energy. This blog is going to look at so-called alternative energy sources such as wind and solar, but I also plan to investigate other energy options. For example, many people argue that because wood fires are carbon neutral, it may be better to heat your home with a wood burning stove, rather than an electric or gas heater. In this blog, I am going to explore ideas like that. I plan to share the truth behind prevalent myths and help you identify new, different energy sources.
