	Renewable energy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some forms are stored solar energy such as rainfall and wind power which are considered short-term solar-energy storage, whereas the energy in biomass is accumulated over a period of months, as in straw, or through many years as in wood.
		Since most renewable energy is ultimately "solar energy" this term is slightly confusing and used in two different ways: firstly as a synonym for "renewable energies" as a whole and secondly for the energy that is directly collected from sunlight.
		Solar power as a direct energy source has been not been captured by mechanical systems until recent human history, but was captured as an energy source through architecture in certain societies for many centuries.

	Direct energy consumption by farms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Direct energy consumption expressed as primary energy input is an appropriate sustainability indicator for UK agriculture since it takes into account the conversion efficiencies for higher quality fuels such as electricity.
		Although, for both environmental and economic reasons, the objective of energy use in agriculture should be to optimise the use of energy inputs per unit of final output, establishing specific targets for energy use is problematic.
		Direct energy consumption on farms has been calculated from energy supplied to user groups as reported in the annual Digest of Energy Statistics.

	WEC Survey Of Energy Resources 2001 - Geothermal Energy
		In the case of direct heat utilisation, the geothermal water produced from wells (which generally do not exceed 2 000 metres) is fed to a heat exchanger before being reinjected into the ground by wells, or discharged at the surface.
		The direct use of geothermal energy is not only inherently difficult to quantify but in some instances can be subject to constraints on reporting for reasons of confidentiality, etc. The statistics shown for both capacity and output should therefore be treated as, at best, indicative of the situation in a particular country.
		Whilst 77% of the direct use of geothermal heat is used for space heating, 8% is used for industrial process heat, 6% for swimming pools, 4% for greenhouses, 3% for fish farming and 2% for snow melting.

	Direct & Reflective Energy
		Instant results are possible with direct energy because it exists outside of physical time and space (it does not pass through you but is directed by you).
		Reflective energy passes through time and space (because you are a part of time and space), so depending on how much the director of the reflective energy (you) is tied to physical time, will effect how long it takes for reflective energy to effect a change.
		Some ways of taping into reflective energy are directing energy with your hands, working with crystals, working with other magical artifacts such as wands and staffs, acupuncture or acupressure, massage therapy, magic and spell casting, and your daily reality creating.

	Direct seismic energy modeling and application to the 1979 Imperial Valley earthquake
		For a fault subject to slip-weakening friction, the energy density is the difference between an elastostatic work and a work density spent in fracture and relaxation.
		A large area of the fault has a negative energy density, and the emission of energy is roughly confined to small parts of the fault with large positive energy density.
		We produce a map of energy directivity that shows that 40% of the energy passes through only 6.5% of the sphere.

		Since Direct Energy took over from Atco Electric last year in supplying power to the MD, it’s the ratepayers in the end that will undoubtedly shoulder the burden of a 1,000 per cent increase in rates.
		Referring to the company’s practice as “ludicrous” and “totally out to lunch,” Foley remarked, “Direct Energy is really something we have to monitor closely.“ He added that in essence the hamlet of Ardmore alone is now costing more to light up than the entire MD did prior to de-regulation.
		Although one minister was reportedly enthused that Direct Energy would apparently soon be lowering the administration fee to $3 per bill, this was still costing MD residents tens of thousands of dollars more than it should be.

	PR: Industrial Equipment Users Discover Energy Efficient Direct Drive Air Compressors
		In a case of "doing more with less," plant engineers are increasingly turning to direct-drive electric air compressor systems that extract greater power out of every single watt, raising the bar for efficiency in industrial equipment.
		Recent innovations by manufacturers such as Sullivan- Palatek, a manufacturer of direct drive rotary screw air compressors, allow an array of manufacturing and processing plants to profit from greater energy savings in their electric motor-driven pressurized-air operations.
		As an example, manufacturers requiring a specific amount of air flow for a given process can use a direct drive rotary screw air compressor that only requires 100 hp, as opposed to needing a belt or gear-driven system that might require 112 HP to produce the same amount of air.
