EPISODE81 - The Maiden Voyage with host Kiler Davenport (NEW WAY - NEW DAY)


Episode Notes: IN THIS EPISODE I DISCUSSED SOME MAJOR CHANGES TO THE RADIO NETWORK. I WILL ALSO TALKED ABOUT MY LIFE AND HOW IT'S CHANGED OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS DUE TO SOME VERY INSIGHTFUL, HEARTFELT INPUT FROM SOME VERY GOOD FRIENDS OF MINE ON FACE BOOK. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF SOUL SEARCHING, PRAYING, MEDITATION, CONTEMPLATION CONCERNING THESE ISSUES. I HAVE TAKEN A MORE POSITIVE APPROACH IN BOTH MY PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE AND START FOCUSING MORE ON THOSE WHO ARE DOING POWERFUL WORK IN THE COMMUNITIES IN THE UNITED STATES AND NOT SO MUCH ON THOSE WHO ARE SELF-PRESCRIBED PESSIMISTS. THERE IS MUCH GOOD WORK BEING DONE IN THIS COUNTRY. WE MUST ALL SHIFT OUR FOCUS TO THOSE WHO ARE EMPOWERED, EXPERIENCED, TRAINED AND MOTIVATED AND WHO ARE BUILDING STRONG BRIDGES BETWEEN PEOPLE, COMMUNITIES, AND ORGANIZATIONS. AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THOSE WHO ARE WORKING ON THE FRONT LINES AND BEHIND THE SCENES TO MAKE DRASTIC CHANGES.

EPISODE42 - THE GOD PARTICLE


Episode Notes: Can anyone tell me why it is so hard To Pray, but easy to Swear? Why Clubs are Growing and CHURCHES are Shrinking? Why it is so hard to Re-Post a CHRISTIAN Status, but easy to post Gossip? Why we can Worship a Celebrity,but not JESUS?gonna Ignore this? Most of you won't re-post this. The LORD said, if you Deny Me in front of your friends, I WILL DENY YOU IN FRONT OF MY FATHER

Types of Renewable Energy

Renewable_energy

The United States currently relies heavily on coal, oil, and natural gas for its energy. Fossil fuels are non-renewable, that is, they draw on finite resources that will eventually dwindle, becoming too expensive or too environmentally damaging to retrieve. In contrast, the many types of 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 hydroelectric power.

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 bioenergy.

Hydrogen also can be found in many organic compounds, as well as water. It's the most abundant element on the Earth. But it doesn't occur naturally as a gas. It's always combined with other elements, such as with oxygen to make water. Once separated from another element, hydrogen can be burned as a fuel or converted into electricity.

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 come 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.

Definition of Renewable Energy

Renewable_energy
"Renewable energy: Any energy resource that is naturally regenerated over a short time scale and derived directly from the sun (such as thermal, photochemical, and photoelectric), indirectly from the sun (such as wind, hydropower, and photosynthetic energy stored in biomass), or from other natural movements and mechanisms of the environment (such as geothermal and tidal energy). Renewable energy does not include energy resources derived from fossil fuels, waste products from fossil sources, or waste products from inorganic sources."
