	Nanotech Key To Future Energy Solutions, Nobelist Says \| EnergyBulletin.net \| Peak Oil News Clearinghouse
		"Energy is hands-down the biggest enterprise on the planet," Smalley said, by way of placing its importance in perspective: at $3 trillion a year globally, energy constitutes "the largest industry in the world," versus only $1.3 trillion for agriculture and $700 billion for all defense spending, he said.
		These potential energy breakthroughs, which, he said, "could only come from nanotechnology," also include a "revolution" in hydrogen storage; direct conversion of light and water into hydrogen supplies; "photocatalytic" reduction of carbon dioxide; and nanomaterials, or coatings enabling the possibility of very deep drilling into Earth to obtain geothermal heat.
		Solving this gigantic energy problem, which Smalley termed "the largest enterprise of humanity" on the horizon, would go far toward solving many of humanity's other most pressing problems—such as food and water supplies, environmental degradation, and poverty—because they are so directly affected by the availability of energy, he said.

	Planck scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For energies approaching the Planck scale, an exact theory of quantum gravity is required, and the current leading candidate is string theory, or its modernized form M-theory.
		At the Planck scale, the strength of gravity is expected to become comparable to the other forces, and it is theorized that all the fundamental forces are unified at that scale, but the exact mechanism of this unification remains unknown.
		Planck scale dynamics is important for cosmology because if we trace the evolution of the cosmos back to the very beginning, at some very early stage the universe should have been so hot that processes involving energies as high as the Planck energy (corresponding to distances as short as the Planck length) may have occurred.

	The Ionization Energy of Hydrogen -13.6eV and The 136.6 Temperature Scale
		The Ionization Energy of Hydrogen -13.6eV and The 136.6 Temperature Scale
		On the main temperature scale then, the boiling point of water is 136.6 points, the freezing point of water is 100.0 points and absolute zero remains the same as on the kelvin scale.
		To observe a scale for the measurement of thermodynamic temperature (fractal 136.6) that is similar to the scale for energy levels and ionization states (fractal 13.6) suggests a direct relationship between the two in terms of the equivalency of matter-energy and its transference from one form to another.

	Length scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In relativistic quantum mechanics or relativistic quantum field theory, length scales are related to momentum, time and energy scales through Planck's constant and the speed of light.
		Length scales are usually the operative scale (or at least one of the scales) in dimensional analysis.
		The magnitude of weak length scale was initially inferred by the Fermi constant measured by neutron and muon decay.

	IGA International Geothermal Association
		Heat is a form of energy and geothermal energy is, literally, the heat contained within the Earth that generates geological phenomena on a planetary scale.
		In other words, on a geological scale in which time is measured in millions of years, this part of the Earth behaves in much the same way as a fluid in certain processes.
		The energy required to heat a breeding installation is about 50% of that required for a greenhouse of the same surface area, so a cascade utilization could be adopted.

	Chem1 Energy, heat, and temperature
		The intimate connection between matter and energy has been a source of wonder and speculation from the most primitive times; it is no accident that fire was considered one of the four basic elements (along with earth, air, and water) as early as the fifth century BCE.
		Energy is one of the most fundamental and universal concepts of physical science, but one that is remarkably difficult to define in way that is meaningful to most people.
		Energy is measured in joules, and temperature in degrees.

		Energy demand is likely to increase even faster, and the proportion supplied by electricity will also grow faster still.
		Harnessing renewable energy such as wind and solar is an appropriate first consideration in sustainable development, because apart from constructing the plant, there is no depletion of mineral resources and no direct air or water pollution.
		Certainly all the reputable energy scenarios show the main load being carried by coal, gas, and nuclear, with the balance among them depending on economic factors in the context of various levels of greenhouse constraints.

	Energy Facilities Siting - Conservation Policies - Sierra Club (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In general, new energy facilities should be located on land that has little other productive value, be sited in such a way as to be compatible with and encourage the use of waste heat and waste water and the development of renewable energy resources.
		The federal government should not be allowed to pre-empt state control over energy facility siting except that in cases where a facility, such as a pipeline, by necessity impacts more than one state, the federal government must act to ensure the least environmental damage for the overall project.
		Each state should create an energy facilities planning and siting mechanism in the context of statewide land-use planning which includes an independent board or commission and which provides for full public participation.

	Energy Crops Forum Summer 1995
		While the primary use of commercially planted woody crops continues to be for pulp and paper, energy is a coproduct in nearly all situations.
		Favorable net energy returns, increased soil erosion prevention, and a geographically diverse land base that can incorporate energy grasses into conventional farm practices will provide direct benefits to local and regional farm economies and lead to accelerated commercialization of conversion technologies.
		Because of the variations in soils, temperature, rainfall, and other climatic conditions, as well as differences in the types of energy crops most suited to different regions, monitoring of large-scale plantings in these different regions of the United States will be required to predict the environmental effects of regional agricultural land-use shifts to full-scale plantings.

		The jet energy is determined with a device called calorimeter, typically (but not always) composed by a sandwich of lead and plastic scintillator sheets.
		For instance, particles punch through the calorimeter without leaving all their energy inside, or they hit parts of the device which are uninstrumented or malfunctioning.

	New Rules Project - Democratic Energy - Utility Taxation - Wind Power Taxes in Minnesota
		From now on, wind energy projects in Minnesota will be exempt from property taxes and instead will be required to pay local taxing districts a direct payment based on the electricity production from the wind turbines.
		Minnesota's system of energy taxation could be improved by stopping what appears to be the annual adoption of property tax exemptions for most new proposed power projects.
		Th idea of placing a production-based payment on energy resources in place of property taxes was originally proposed by the Institute for Local Self-Reliance in a 1995 report, Taxing Wind Energy in Minnesota.

		The conversion of energy to an earthquake scale is rather straightforward.

		In essence, the scale is calibrated such that an increase of 2 in magnitude represents a 1000 fold increase in released energy.
