here's the video code... How Solar Electricity Works
(thanks for the video SunTech Power )

After graduating from Penn State in 97 with a B.S. in Marketing and Society, I started my professional career in an environmental architecture & engineering consulting firm in Washington, D.C. where I was fortunate to co-manage the Federal Network for Sustainability (that's me at the very bottom), the Sustainable Buildings Industry Council , the Structural Insulated Panel Association , the Timber Frame Business Council , and the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act's Indian Housing Block Grant Formula , as well as provide assistance on many other compelling projects and contracts such as the Whole Building Design Guide and the High Performance School Buildings Initiative .
After close to eight rewarding years at SWA, I decided to venture out on my own. I created PerpetualEnergy™.net, LLC to help transform our Global Economy from being dependent on Fossil Fuel and Nuclear Energy to a Global Economy based on Perpetual Energy (Electricity from Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Biomass, and Ocean/Tidal Energy - see Renewable Energy Basics below).
A few months into the planning stages of Perpetual Energy, a friend and I were inspired to open a retail store, Zion Alternative Therapy . In March, 2007, after close to two years of business, we transformed our brick-and-mortar retail store into an internet based business.
As an official Nuga Wellness Technology Distributor, we sell Nuga Thermal Massage Beds and other wellness products through our website for use in the home and office. Nuga Beds provide enhanced therapeutic benefits over the older generation Korean thermal massage beds (Migun Bed and Ceragem Bed) with superior comfort, superior far-infrared heat waves, the latest electronics, and more functional features.
If you'd like to experience the Nuga Thermal Massage Bed, send me a message or visit ZionTherapy.com for more information. Also visit our Global Headquarters, Nuga Medical Company , our U.S. Headquarters, Nuga Best USA , and watch these thermal massage bed videos:

Renewable Energy Basics

The United States currently relies heavily on coal, oil, and natural gas for its energy. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable, that is, they draw on finite resources that will eventually dwindle, becoming too expensive or too environmentally damaging to retrieve. In contrast, renewable energy resources—such as wind and solar energy—are constantly replenished and will never run out.

Most renewable energy comes either directly or indirectly from the sun. Sunlight, or solar energy , can be used directly for heating and lighting homes and other buildings, for generating electricity, and for hot water heating, solar cooling, and a variety of commercial and industrial uses.

The sun's heat also drives the winds, whose energy is captured with wind turbines . Then, the winds and the sun's heat cause water to evaporate. When this water vapor turns into rain or snow and flows downhill into rivers or streams, its energy can be captured using hydropower.

Along with the rain and snow, sunlight causes plants to grow. The organic matter that makes up those plants is known as biomass. Biomass can be used to produce electricity, transportation fuels, or chemicals. The use of biomass for any of these purposes is called biomass energy .

Not all renewable energy resources come from the sun. Geothermal energy taps the Earth's internal heat for a variety of uses, including electric power production, and the heating and cooling of buildings. And the energy of the ocean's tides comes from the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun upon the Earth.

In fact, ocean energy comes from a number of sources. In addition to tidal energy, there's the energy of the ocean's waves, which are driven by both the tides and the winds. The sun also warms the surface of the ocean more than the ocean depths, creating a temperature difference that can be used as an energy source. All these forms of ocean energy can be used to produce electricity.
