“Ethanol produced by sustainable permaculture can have a greater and more favorable environmental and economic impact than ANY alternative-energy technology at hand or on the immediate horizon.” –Gregory Hilbert, Co-Founder Sustainability Education Network, Chairman GEN
Green Education Network is persuaded by the work of Dave Blume and the non-profit I.I.E.A. that ethanol produced by sustainable perma-culture has the potential to have a greater and more favorable environmental and economic impact than ANY alternative-energy technology at hand or on the immediate horizon.
Green Education Network Chairman & CEO Gregory Hilbert announced today that GEN has joined a Care2 call for a 2010 MARCH ON WASHINGTON DC (and capitols in all 50 states), to demand restoration of government of, by and for the people.
Green Education Network Chairman and CEO Gregory Hilbert begs all to sign worldwide AVAAZ.org petition even long after the Copenhagen failure he predicts, to tell posterity we were not among those now forsaking the untold millions who will suffer horrors in consequence of that failure.

Tidal power is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into electricity or other useful forms of power.
Although not yet widely used, tidal power has potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than wind energy and solar power. Historically, tide mills have been used, both in Europe and on the [...]
Geothermal power (from the Greek roots geo, meaning earth, and thermos, meaning heat) is power extracted from heat stored in the earth. This geothermal energy originates from the original formation of the planet, from radioactive decay of minerals, and from solar energy absorbed at the surface. It has been used for space heating and bathing [...]
Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form, such as electricity, using wind turbines. At the end of 2008, worldwide nameplate capacity of wind-powered generators was 121.2 gigawatts.[1]Although wind produces only about 1.5% of worldwide electricity use,[1] it is growing rapidly, having doubled in the three years between 2005 and 2008. [...]
Solar energy is the radiant light and heat from the Sun that has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies. Solar radiation along with secondary solar resources such as wind and wave power, hydroelectricity and biomass account for most of the available renewable energy on Earth. Only a minuscule [...]
Environmental economics is a subfield of economics concerned with environmental issues. Quoting from the National Bureau of Economic Research Environmental Economics program:
“ [...] Environmental Economics [...] undertakes theoretical or empirical studies of the economic effects of national or local environmental policies around the world [...]. Particular issues include the costs and benefits of alternative environmental [...]
Peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum extraction is reached, after which the rate of production enters terminal decline. The concept is based on the observed production rates of individual oil wells, and the combined production rate of a field of related oil wells. The aggregate production rate [...]
