	Global Energy Network: Interesting Thing of the Day
		Global Energy Network Institute, or GENI, is a nonprofit organization based in San Diego.
		Their mission is to educate the public about the idea of a global energy grid and work with governments, utilities, and international organizations to encourage its adoption.
		Even if the global energy network became a reality, that would be only a small step toward winning the game, but it’s an important one.

	Fire - Voyager, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Fire starts when a fuel with adequate oxygen supply is subjected to enough heat, and it is sustained by the further release of heat energy in the process, as well as a continuous supply of oxygen and combustible fuel.
		It is common in a developing country for wood to be the primary energy source as well.
		A flame is a self-sustaining oxidizing chemical reaction producing energy and ionized gas (plasma).

	Bulletin 24 - Time to Establish an International Sustainable Energy Fund
		Sustainable energy is defined as energy which, in its production or conimpacts on human health and the healthy functioning of vital ecological systems, including the global environment, and that can be supplied continuously to future generations on earth.
		This definition specifically excludes nuclear and fossil fuel energy or their ‘improvements.’ Nuclear power is characterized by industry as a sustainable, clean energy source because the reactor does not in itself produce any CO But the nuclear fuel chain is a significant source of such emissions.
		Hydrogen generated by renewable sources of energy provides a ‘postpetroleum’ solution to the seemingly intractable problems of global warming, international security, and the monumental social and environmental concerns that are the subject of countless U.N. conferences and agreements.

	Could a Global Renewable Energy Grid Be The Real Solution? :: The Environment Site Forum
		This idea presented by the Global Energy Network Institute is quite a thought provoking one, so don't miss your chance to learn more about it.
		By stating, that energy losses will be large is no real issue given present day conditions, as electricity is already carried over thousands of miles of transmission lines around the globe.
		Countries outside the area of power generation would effectively have zero energy security and would need to keep a massive military presence in the region in order to ensure continued access to energy (much like the US does at the moment with the Middle East because of the oil).

		The numerous players in the energy game see the issues from completely different perspectives: consumers want cheap, reliable energy, California utilities want a rate increase to avoid bankruptcy, out-of-state producers want to make a profit for shareholders, and legislators want a solution to salvage their deregulation vote of four years ago.
		This network acts as a ``freeway for electrons,'' enabling power generator and customer to be hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of miles apart.
		This grid is apathetic to the power source, equally delivering power generated from non-renewable energy sources: coal, natural gas, nuclear, or the renewable sources: solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and hydropower.
